Project: Blue foam hatblocks for Fosshape millinery
"So, the first thing you need to do is get some blue foam, aka polyisocyanurate foam or residential insulation foam. Dow is the major manufacturer of this product in the US, and you can get it in sheets at your building materials store (Home Depot or Lowes). It comes in different thicknesses--the thickest i can find locally is 1" but we had 2" at the symposium. One sheet of the 1" thick foam was about 5' by 20', cost under $20, and i didn't even use half of it to stack up my block."

Building Halloween Tombstones
If you remember, I made a video tutorial of how I paint my tombstones to give it that aged, realistic look. Since then I have gotten a few requests to make a 'prequel' video: How to build Halloween tombstones. Well, TaDa! And, for no extra charge, I stepped in front of the camera. (Found it easier to film this way). So, Here I am Painting Halloween Tombstones vid:
