667 Hemlock Hollow is almost done!



A big Hi & Welcome to all the new followers!!

I've been trying to get the fine details and the important little bits (that have to be completed before assembly)done. I'm actually getting excited and at the same time board. Most of what I still have to do is not any of my favorite stuff. So, what did I do? Yep, I wondered off into another venture from my overly busy mind and started making a scratch built "Dark Lords Time Machine" It's really all bits of lumber, and Steampunk bobs at the moment but, I will get some pics up in the next couple of days!

In the mean time, I got the most fabulous kits from Michelles Miniatures at michellesminiatures.com
A fortune Tellers Booth wher Lucretia is now visiting, and a Gypsy's Market Cart that Cosmina is thrilled about!

Michelle also has THE most amazing Laser cut Gypsy Wagon which is on my wish list! Have fun!

667 Hemlock Hollow










Here at 667 Hemlock Hollow lives the Toten family.
Mr. Toten is a Mortician by day, and an Alchemist by night.
He and his wife fancy themselves as a modern day John Dee and Edward Kelly but, I think the truth is, they are far from being that accomplished. Mrs. Toten is the "Seesayer" & Channeler, and spends much of her time connecting with the other side.
Quite sadly, during one of Mr. Totens re-animation experiments, it backfired on he and his family. They would be long past dead however, their old bones are still animated and live on conducting their operations, as well as Mr. Totens obsession with re-animating the dead. Yes it's a bit Frankenstein-esque but, I believe that is why he became a mortician in the 1st place.

On the left is Mr. Totens Garage where he salvages body parts, and hauls them upstairs in the garage's loft to attempt at giving them a new life. It is not known if Mrs. Toten is aware of his hobby but, the neighbors have noticed the strange smells for ages.

They have quite an issue with rodents since Ghost (their beloved cat) incarnated into energy, and is no longer very effective at mousing. It seems the mice have overthrown the house, but still, the family attempts full rodent emancipation by poison's or by trap.

Well, it once was a fine home now a bit run down. I suppose it works for them. No one dare come within 100 yards of the house.
All the better to cut them up!

More new pics of the Alchemist's! Garage
Lot's more to come soon :)

A big welcome to all the new followers!

I have been trying to get my Haunted House finished but, I can't rush it. Everything needs to be perfect :)
I'm creating it out of the Greeleaf Tennyson kit.
Here are some very rough pics of it in the early construction phase and a couple of stained glass windows I created for the ole house.

My Goodness is Sherr a genius!








I got some x-mas $$ this year and I wanted to put it to good use.
Of course, I've always thought Sherr Colvin was an amazing doll maker and I've been wanting to do an Alice In Wonderland House for some time now so, this is what I spent my x-mas money on :) Sherr can be found here Colvin Dolls

What's new with me?

Well, I have finished the little Witch Hat shop all except for the paper clay stone flooring exterior (which I'm in waiting for my paper clay muse to come back :), and since have been FINALLY working my tail off on my Haunted House which I am making out of the Greenleaf Tennyson kit.
I'm just now at the point where I'm putting the the house together, and have alot of the small bits and pieces to R&P and get them ready for assembly.
Not any beautiful pics to share at the moment but, I promise as soon as I think a shot may be worthy, I'll post is asap.
Hugs,
Monica
