For years I have been astounded by people's home haunts and Halloween displays. Mesmark and monstermash in particular I find inspirational. About 18 months ago, I came across a sketch of a haunted tree. I loved it. Printed off a copy and thought nothing more. Last September I was determined to try and turn my garage into some sort of haunt but needless to say life events took over. I did make a good start though.
I wanted a tree either side of the garage entrance, so dug out the tree sketch, scaled it up onto 3mm MDF and painted it. It's not 3d but I think it looks great. I was determined to find the original artist to thank them. Couldn't find it on Deviantart or Pinterest but finally tracked it him down. Turns out it is a guy called Malin Pont, his original sketch is far superior, these trees don't do it justice but I lack dexterity in my hands to cut it out precisely. He had a sketch a day blog http://magellinadad.blogspot.co.uk/2012 ... -tree.html and would recommend anyone take a look. Some really great sketches on there. I emailed him to thank him.
Apologies for the quality of the pic, taken on an iPad, hopefully post more in October when they are in situ. I plan on making a reaper and using a lot of silhouette cut outs amongst the ubiquitous pumpkins
