This year we settled on doing this witch makeup. I think it turned out pretty good. She's mean and green and has quite the snarl and hairy warts. Her eyes are dead as if she's ready to cast a spell on you. One can only wonder how many children she's ate.
Mummy Makeup
We finally got around to doing a makeup this halloween season. We usually start by searching the internet for inspiration. Mainly pins on Pinterest. We came across this one that we loved. We loved the cartoon style and the bright colors. I had some wigs I got and we knew this would be a fun one. We were short on time but it came together pretty quickly.
I saw this vampire design online somewhere but they were sold out. So I decided to make my own. I modified the image slightly and made some adjustments. Mainly his body in a more creeping stance and his arms too. I really love him. I decided to turn them into T-shirts. I cut out a stencil on my vinyl cutting machine and then just used acrylic paint to fill it in. Then I've always wanted to do a bleach design and thought this might be a good opportunity. So I went for it. I love how it turned out.
I made one of these out of pink insulation foam and I have a different blog post and how to about that one. But hes rough and I wanted to make a better one and one that I can easily make copies of for people that want to rent of purchase him. So this is my process on this version. Turned out great! Hit me up if you want to rent or buy one.
I have created and make so many things over the years that I decided to make and send in an audition tape for the NBC tv show "Making It". A show about creators and makers with hosts Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler. I didn't get chosen for call backs but I was happy I spent some time creating this video of some of my projects. Hopefully you're inspired to create something of your own.
I had a couple old movie painting that I wanted to paint over as Tetris and pac man for my game room. I also wanted to use glow in the dark paint so the colors really pop under the black lights. Turned out really great!
Every year I host a Make It With Mason night where we create and make a halloween related craft or project. This year I made a mold and plaster cast of this plaque for everyone to paint. We learned dry brushing techniques and wet brush with a wipe away. Such a fun night with great friends and safety during covid.
