Thread: Halloween calendar

Oh nice!

Alex, your scrolling is crazy good.


This year Im going to have a bit of a go at it - some scrolled pumpkins, cats that I can hang on the door cornices and a few ghosts.

Going to do the cats in black, the pumpkins as a multilayer 3D and unsure of the ghosts

Maybe some Australian themed spookiness! Magpies.... Gadaidcha? (prob uncool) Bunyip? (love the bunyip stories of screaming kids dragged away and having their bones sucked dry). Dreamtime serpent?

My inventory would include a cemetery with headstones and grassy weeds and ghosts rising up.
Must have bats and a witch flying on a broom.
A sliver of a moon in the sky.
Bunch of spooky carved pumpkins along the ground line.

I cut all these things out of big box cardboard and painted them black, 15 years ago.
Everything fits into my living room front window, about 5' x 7', I think.
Back-lit with a spotlight, you can see these for a block+.

The whole idea of a "good set" of silhouettes is appealing.
