As I have decided to call this the year of the tombstone for myself - (I only made ONE stone last year?!?!) so I thought I would make one place to post pics of them as I am working on them, or finish them. I'm making a realistic goal of 210 stones this year. Ok, not really. I just wish I could, hehe.
So far I only have one "finished", and the others are in process, but just some foam eye candy, as I know how much we all love pictures.
This is the first one. The date is the day that The Omen opened in the US, and the Latin phrase is just the tag line of the movie translated.
Everything from here down is still a work in progress. Some are really obviously not done, haha.
Next, we have a tombstone that I promised for a good friend, using his name. He chose the phrase underneath, while it is hard to see because I tried to letter with my soldiering iron, swearing that if a lot of people on the forums could do it, then *I* could too. Proved myself wrong on that one.
Super special thanks to Frog Queen for the killer swirlie thing at the top. I'm hooked on these things, woman!
Next up, a hand drawn stone that I came up with, thus the crookedness, LOL
And finally my Turner stone.... or rather Uruk-Hai's design that I >stole< ! Thanks so much for posting that pattern, Uruk-Hai, I adored carving this stone.
Special thanks to Haunt Forum member erebus for the white beaded foam columns (and the rest of the truck load of foam!) this years tombstones are all dedicated to YOU my friend!
Last but not least (or even shortest), this is a stone that I found in a cemetery, photoshopped, enlarged at blockposters.com for free, and am going to attempt to build.
Thats a yard stick in front of it, so its 4 feet tall right now - will probably be
5 or 6 when I get done with the base. Jaybo is already planning on what to make pop out from behind it, LOL
