I have to say all of your creations make my little black heart extremely happy. I am in total awe of all of your hard work that is put into every tiny detail.<br /><br />I am fairly sure we are in the same state, I just wish that one day I could stumble across your display and be awe of it in person! I look forward to seeing what is coming for this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005096645326400983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-55766890785794566322016-12-11T16:23:56.322-05:002016-12-11T16:23:56.322-05:00Wow!

Your Strawman joins the ranks of the other wonderful creatures you've created over the years, and I'm so happy that you & Bean share these works with us every year.<br /><br />While I had to take the year off from home haunting due to personal issues, I feel inspired by these pics to start working on new ideas for 2017. Hopefully, this coming year will bring good fortunes to us all, so that we may spread the spooky fun of the High Holiday to all around us.The Gill-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680794257168881000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-80780723364659116472016-11-02T13:18:46.164-04:002016-11-02T13:18:46.164-04:00Wow this is OUTSTANDING!

Your haunt is synonymous with my Halloween experience, and this year did not disappoint. What gets me every time is the organic nature of your creatures: they always look as if they've just sprung alive, either by some ancient spell or the magic of Halloween itself. The strawman is very creepy, and incredibly effective. <br /><br />Amazing work as always! Constantly bowled over by your talent.

I have a favorite one, but that's between me and Halloween man here.<br /><br />I love everything you do and basically begin my October 31st in the wee hours of each year ready to pounce on my desktop at 6am to see what I'll be admiring for the next 364 days. <br /><br />Strawman, is amazing, his back, his pose, his hands...the back of his hands, every rope, every fiber, every tooth. The detail in this is astonishing...you have a new champion in my eyes. I look at this and see the love and passion that drips from you as you piece him together. Again...as Marrow echoed...(Hi Marrow!), I believe it to be autobiographical, Strawman could be you, peering...smiling into the spirit, the soul of Halloween and manifesting perfection with your dark gifts. I have other thoughts I'm not so certain of, M (Bean)...is she all that surrounds? The embers? The totem behind Strawman...ready to support him if need be? I will leave that to the mystery that is Pumpkinrot...as it should be. <br /><br />Gorgeous, incredible work, as always. <br /><br />JRagged Grinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753105763358767807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-53235603415816075992016-11-02T11:29:18.091-04:002016-11-02T11:29:18.091-04:00The Strawman's story is fun to think about.

We don't know his history, but it's is probally ancient and legendary. You have this gift of setting a scene like in those vintage postcards. Your storytelling is fantastic! The essence of Halloween that we all long for. By November, I am exhausted, and want to turn off the Halloween chip in my brain, but alas, it is not so. I have so many ideas swimming in my head due to all of the inspirations from you and everyone else.
