Our Annual Halloween Party.....

Here are a few pictures from our annual "Halloween Bash". It usually takes us the good part of the month of October to decorate my house, but it's so worth it.

We just love "HaLlOwEeN"

Frightening Front Room

There were ghost hanging from the ceilings and cob webs everywhere. We even had a smog machine and dry ice in the wicked punch...

My undead love and I...a match made in well...."heaven"...LOL!

Then there was Laura, who helped out tremendously...we couldn't have done this without you! Here she is with another guest....

"Bob" the Werewolf....

Our guest were very creative with their costumes and we all had such a fabulous creepy time.



Oh I can't forget about the slashing Red Velvet cake that Catherine brought....yummy!

Thanks Catherine!

So then there is myself with my sweet little "meat eater"....heh!

So just a little thanks to all who came and helped make our annual "Halloween Bash" a huge smash!

Until next year.....

I've been a Monty Python fan for as long as I can remember. The Holy Grail being my favorite Python film, I was inspired to create. The Holy Hand Grenade.

But enough from the likes of me, a mere peasant from a an autonomous collective, being repressed by the violence inherent in the system... the link will tell it far better than I....

A few things we've been working on....

Kathy and I have really been busy gearing up for the upcoming "Age of Chivalry" Renaissance Festival here in Las Vegas starting October 9-11th. Here are a couple of our items that we've made for this occasion:

"Ye Olde Cloak Pins"

We've also added these scurvy dogs to our MoNsTeR bOx collection....

TrEaSuRe MoNsTeR bOxEs

These will be available soon in our etsy shop.

Our dear friend and local fine artist, Laura Zollar, has come to play with clay with us as well.
She created an absolutely stunning re-enchanted bottle and an artistic apothecary bottle.
