Wall of Ouija Boards!

Now that the wedding is over and I have some spare time, I'm going to get started on filling up my wall dedicated to Ouija boards I've made.. so far a whopping.. two! Continuing on my all things Disney year of props.. I decided what better than to make some Disney related Ouija boards! I figured I'd start with the first feature length animated film, Snow White! 



I'm thinking I'm going to attempt to cut around each of the dwarfs to give the board a non rectangular shape, but that means I'd have to cut out each leg hole to keep it consistent and I'm not sure if the scroll saw is going to be able to handle a piece this large! If not I will just square it up and paint some sky! I figured I was going to do this in black paint like the rest with just a red apple to make it stand out, but I may end painting the dwarfs in acrylics.. we shall see!


Happily ever after.. !

What a month! A few hectic build days left until our big day, our wedding, and then the honeymoon! Phew! I'm going to need a vacation for my vacation! December has almost come and gone, but what a fantastic month. I feel truly blessed. I married my best friend on the 7th and we get to start a new chapter in our lives, together! Fun was had by all at the ceremony and it was awesome to hear how everyone had an enjoyable and unforgettable evening.




















We had an awesome time in Disneyland and got to meet up with a bunch of kick ass Instagram friends! Being at Disneyland for seven days we got to enjoy every moment! It wasn't about rushing to the next ride, or not being able to stop for the bathroom because we were going to miss some live performances.. We literally rode maybe six rides a day and enjoyed our entire time looking around and taking everything in. For as many times as I have been to Disneyland I had never enjoyed a show at the Golden Horse Shoe Revue, or gone into the Heraldry shop among others, but I can officially scratch a ton of stuff off my list! Food was the theme for this trip and we got to eat almost everywhere.. Blue Bayou (twice!!!,) Carthay Circle, Ariel's Grotto, Steak House 55, Big Thunder all you can eat BBQ, Carnation Plaza, and The Cove Bar ( lobster nachos and BLOODY MARYS...%$^#@%$^%!!!!!! .) I can't wait to go back!

March of the larger Card Guards!



I've officially gone nuts. With three days left until the wedding I decided to make even more new things and not finish stuff I have been putting to the side! AHH! At least I have a U-Haul truck reserved already! The card guards are HUGE! I figured they had to be larger than anything else, so they stand just over 6 feet in height! Still need to outline the black a bit more and seal these and they will be done! Not sure if I will have time to make them some lances.. I think probably not, but we will see! It is now officially crunch time! I've loaded up on Rockstar and Coffee, so hopefully I will get a lot accomplished tomorrow!
