This is a wooden bird house from michaels... covered with DSP. I used cotton balls ripped up for the mist. and inside there is a battery candle.
I did have to "carve" the windows open on the side of the house to see the candle light through them. I just did it with a utility knife.
The black ink on the very top of the roof and on the ground is just put on with my dauber and basic black ink pad. My spider is hanging from a piece of thread. The characters are all attached by dimentionals to make them stand out. And I spent some extra time cutting them out to help them look more real... for instance I cut out all the hairs on the cat, and legs on the spider.
There are a couple views in my gallery, including with the lights on and with the lights off (to show the candle light).
Also, visit this piece in my gallery- its last years version I made with creepy crawly dsp.
it was such a big hit last year, I knew I needed to do one again this year. In fact I made this one for me, as well as one for a friend, and another as a hostess gift for a customer. That was a lot of work!! lol - but well well worth it!
thanks for looking!
