Suddenly I have this vision of a super-weird Disney movie with a chorus line of singing, swaying haunted/animated gravestones!

Always a treat to catch up with this thread with it's manic mushrooms and terrified peasants.

...I liked the Disney moment.
Thanks for the reply, Wirelizard. I am delighted you enjoy the beasties when you stop by.
I just planted the two Gravestone Guys. The Grim Mushroom should be mounted & ready for pics soon.

I've been doing mostly drudge-not-worth-taking-photos-of work. Today I started the Grim Reaper Mushroom's base:

I haven't followed movies long enough now that I didn't recognize any of the other names.

I am plodding along with the Graveyard Mushroom. Motivation is fine. I am just moving more slowly this morning.
SO this gives me a moment to post some intermediate photos rather than my normal start & finish pics:






All that need to be done now is painting theSpooks, planting some grass, DullCote, a dry brush of the grass, & the final pics...a nap might figure in there somewhere.

What a dark and grim chaacter.. the grin on his face makes you really reconsider your plan to stroll in the woods..

What a wonderfully characterful face on that scary, looming fella!
 

Strolling through the woods?
I do not think so.
Nosirree!

No matter what Blue Oyster Cult says, this is definitely one reaper to be feared.

...he does have a less than endearing smile. It does explain why The Teddy Bears' Picnic is playing through my head.

..if I were more widely known, I might get the blame for a drop in RV sales.
Thanks for the reply, Paul. I am happy you like him...creepy vibes & all.

...never trust a shell fish. Thanks for the reply, Fram.
Here's the finished piece:

I have a set of photos taken in St. Lascivious' Cemetery that I will post a little later.
