My sister has never let me live the day down the following words popped out of my mouth:  Is these them?

 

Yeah.   :down:  

 

True story from when I was in the Navy.  I was a court reporter at the time and we had a fairly mundane courts-martial for drug abuse or something similar going on.  The defense counsel assigned was from a different area and so I really didn't know her at all.  Other than being super sweet, all I can remember was how often she said "ya'll". :D  Well, during the court-martial, she kept saying ya'll this and ya'll that and I could see that it was getting on the judge's nerves, so I passed him a note asking if he wanted a break.  He shook his head no, but stopped the defense counsel in the middle of what she was saying and asked her if she could please stop saying "ya'll" as it sounded a little informal in the court room.  She agreed and apologized.  She lasted for a whole 20 minutes before reverting back to "ya'll".  The judge (who was actually a really nice guy) stopped her again and said "Ya'll" is not part of the Queen's English, so please stop using it in the court room.  She became super self-conscious and tongue tied that he had to take a break.   The judge, who, by this point was feeling kinda bad for the defense counsel in question, had me go get her, and he apologized to her and told her that she could go on and he wouldn't stop her anymore, but would appreciate it if she could keep the "ya'lls" down to a minimum.  :D  We then finished up in about an hour or so and everyone was happy. :)

I am just always so super amazed by your incredible sculpting and conversion talent!  This is such an imaginative piece, and I'm totally blown away by it already!  I can't wait to see the final piece!   ::):

In addition to me sleeping under the covers now ::o:, I'm also glad to discover that Bones can be baked with polymer clays and not suffer.

 

And as much as I want to, I don't think I'll be able to come up with something as creative or well executed in time for ReaperCon (horror themed or otherwise).

Yippee!  I'm almost done!!  Thanks everyone for all the help and positive reinforcement.  This project requires some warm fuzzies, right?  :blink:

 

The next order of business was to tackle the scary clown/jack-in-the-box:

I took 2 beads and made some greenstuff rings in between them.

I added some sculpey bits.  the box is removable so I can bake the sculpey.  this section will fit near the bed on the floor, and be an extension of the Nightmare.  I'm hoping it will provide some stability on the front side.  i'll need to brace the backside once the painting is done and I'm ready to attach the vertical element.

Yup.  Evil Corporea strikes again with crazy conglomeration ideas.  I'd wanted to include the spider somehow, but it was just too big and would have blocked the view of the monster under the bed.  So I cut mister spider up and used bits of him!

 

Current progress: I attached all the bits I wanted to the vertical Nightmare and almost have the painting done.

I had some fun freehanding a scaled pattern on the tentacle on the floor.  I was getting tired of smooth blending and messing with textures.  This thing might burn me out of both of those things for awhile.

 

I love my evil clown face!!!  And that the spider can barely reach out to touch the bed.  More soonish!
