Doctoring up a Tombstone
I picked up this tombstone last year on clearance. It came with a skull, hands, feet, and some other cheesy things. I decided to doctor up the tombstone a bit. I darkened the letters and added some water marks. Anyone who has followed me in the past knows that my weathering needs lots of improvement. But I decided this tombstone…See More

This will be a short post.
I'm completely bummed in the home stretch for Halloween.
I recently underwent shoulder surgery which didn't go so well. Now I'm stuck in a sling with absolutely no use of my right arm (and I'm right handed of course) until late November.
