The magic of cardboard and duct tape...and mache.
Didn't use a single screw or nail...not that I'm bragging about that, as I think that would have made my life a little easier during construction.
I built the votive stand around a cheap aluminum shelf. I used cardboard and small strips of crappy wood from Lowes that they sell in bundles for dirt cheap.
Theo snapped a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos of the display and I remember thinking "Well no one's ever going to see THOSE shots." But now that some time has passed, the idea started to grow on me. So here's one showing the cardboard beams of the CHURCH and the crude lighting for the moonlight.
Note the tree sticking out of the lawn next to that rotten pumpkin on the left.. staged. I recall looking down the street and seeing Theo dragging a pile of vines in one hand and a thin dead tree in the other.
