Yeah, another base. Shocker, I know.  It's one I've been thinking about for years, basically, since I bought the beads that are in it.
 
So, the premise:
I use the air-dry clay hexes from the previous project as well as these beads I bought at Walmart so long ago. The Bugle Beads are hex-shaped and iridescent.  The color on the tube is labeled as "black iris."
 

 
I build a flat of the hexes and use the beads upright on a portion of the base to represent an unusual terrain.  I use a pill bottle shell along one edge to build the terrain upward on that edge more easily.  I'll peel that off later.  
 
So here's the bottom layer of the piece.
 

 
The front layer is as high as it will go.  The next layer will go to the top of the beads and also be flat.  The last layer will be more like a hill on the other side of the beads.
 
Now if this was for a mech it would look like pilings holding back the earth.  I will use more of them here than just along the fronts.
 
Stay tuned. Enjoy. Please, stay safe.

Halloween always gets my mind going with spooky thoughts...rather like the rest of the year, but more so.
Now I have been making Pumpkinhead/Jack O'Lantern Folk for quite a while...here's an album of them:

Then I stumbled on this illustration on Pinterest,  AND I had to try that sunny smile:

 
I was fairly pleased with the test results:

 
I did a second one  with what I had learned from the first:

 
...with a closer look:

 
The second is closer to the size of the Reaper Jack O'Lanterns that I usually use for the Pumpkinheads. The first is a bit larger. I may wind up using a GW Orc torso
like this one from  2017:

 
The legs are GW Zombie legs.
This another possibility:

 
OH THE POSSIBILITIES!

Another month another batch of Mushrooms & Associates. This month is a bit lighter than last. I started it toward the end of last month's Gang...which is still waiting on some Show Off photos. 
I am also hoping to squeeze in some Pumpkinheads & other Halloween strangeness elsewhere. More of that later. For now, The Mushrooms:

 
With the ever popular Leo Sizechek for comparison:

 
I got the idea to do a Mushroom/Goblin Wizard from this illustration:

 
Mine is a bit seedier:

 
A Goblin Faerie sidekick seemed appropriate. Appropriate or not I wanted to try out some paper punch butterfly wings with a foam coating inner layer:

 
AND base coated & ready for color:

 
More whenever.
