Grave Digger Well, here he is, my only other prop for the year. He turned out ok - considering how little I spent on him.

His frame is a basic PVC frame with screws in the joints to hold the pose. I made the elbows adjustable using the Bride of Articulation frame technique - it works really well by the way.

I had to prop (punny!) him up this year because I couldn't think of a way to make him stand on his own. Next year, I think that I'll try screwing some U braces to the back of his legs and anchoring him to the ground with rebar. (As usual, I didn't think of this until it was too late.)

I just found out that I won the Custom Witch Potion Label Giveaway at All Together Dead. (It's a beautiful site with a lot of inspirational and useful Halloween posts. Be sure to take a look.)

The labels will arrive a little late for this year's party, but I'll put them to good use next year. Keep an eye out for them...

I came across the template that I used to carve my pumpkin head. Instead of deleting it, I thought that I would share...

The image should print nicely on a single sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper.

Here is a peak at one of the few additions this year....
