Gonna Get Moving in '09

My goal this year is to get my haunt moving.

Moving Into the Garage

My Halloween blog is moving into the garage - the Garage of Evil!

Welcome to the Garage Nancy! About large mache projects. Biggest advice I can give you is take your time and build a sturdy armature. I have a tendency to rush applying the paper mache pulp clay on my projects sometimes. This can cause the strip mache I have underneath to get wet again and start collapsing.
