Hectic Household

So it seems I won't be posting too often. On the upside, my posts will be more content-filled.
     Let's start: for one of my art classes, I had to make a blog to post... art stuff (no way). We have to design a character and eventually make it in Illustrator (the art class is an intro to Illustrator & Photoshop. I already know PS, but I want to learn the other). So, here's the blog.
     To the left is a sketch of the character I want to create. Her name is Violet, and she has an extensive description in the other blog. I'm proud of the sketch, and do plan to follow through with a fine lovely lady to dream about forever and ever (kidding). But, yeah, I'll finish the drawing.

     Now for the good stuff.

I think it's worth pointing you to my creation last year. (click it!)

Because last year, I did the most I ever did in terms of size and commitment and dedication. I literally spent a month designing that maze in front of my yard. So check that out, then come back to see how I intend to improve.

Dolls. With black eyes and blood :)

Bringin' out the ol' coffin.

Two ghosts, made to be swung in a circle.

I photoshopped and cut out Norman Bates :3

My girlfriend sewed these. Amazing!

This used to be a wedding arch, now painted black.

Here I'm testing a self-closing gate.

This is my inspiration that I'm not going to pay $180 for.

     I absolutely hate the photo organization tools of blogger.
These are some of the things I started making for this year. There's lots of stuff still in the attic, and a few things around my room that wouldn't really make sense to post. 
     I will, however, share with you the things I intend to get done:

• Fog machine ice container
• Auto-coffin
• Cut out tombstones
• Doghouse cave, scary eyes
• Gateway arch
• Band members & music
• Black eye dolls & voices
• Tombstone girl crying
• Projected pet ghosts
• Dropping spider
• Fence
• Tree branches & holes
• Hanging ghosts on string
• Spinning illusion wheel near clowns
• Air canon, pumpkin spices
• Columns 

So that might not make complete sense to you, but I'd be glad to explain if you ask (surely you can find a way to do that). The bottom line:

I've got a lot planned for my little yard.
