WHAT have I CREATED??🍤👀 Shrimp Hands for my Beetlejuice Dollhouse!

OMG YEEESSSSS

Oh, no! That would be right up my alley! I'm in trouble again...lol!

[@MeanJohnDean]

Yes but the chocolate would go bad. Lol!

[@sketchbookscheming]

The shrimp hands are super-creepy, and I love the shiny granite top too. It was so much fun to re-watch the Day-O scene too. Happy Halloween!

Thank you Marcy! So glad you enjoyed it! Happy Halloween!

[@rachaelkasper5445]

This was so much fun! I love the way you did the shrimp hands and the table. The dining room is coming to life more and more. I'm sure Beetlejuice is going to sneak in for a nibble as soon as nobody is looking. LOL

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Rachael! I am sure he will lol!

[@Lupin3rd1980]

Yes, the scene was really funny back then and as soon as I hear "Come Mister tally man, tally me banana ..." I keep thinking about this scene. ^^ Simply wonderful.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!!

[@tracymorgan2835]

Also love the idea of a hidden wall full of houses

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I think it would be really cool looking! Glad you like the idea!

[@DollFairyCrafter]

AHHH I love the ending... All of that amazing talent and attention to teeny tiny details... I just love it. An omgosh the shrimp bowls at the end... okay... now I want to make those bowls. Thanks for sharing

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I hope you have fun making them! They are a nice one to do while watching a movie because there is a lot of paper wrapping time lol!

[@swearenginlawanda]

I had to actually watch (buy/rent) the movie on Amazon as I hadn't seen it in it's entirety. Makes you awesome work make sense to me now.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I imagine it does seem a little strange without the reference of the movie lol!

[@alisawing]

Amazing! I'm blown away by your talent! I've made bowls like that before and had really good results with pushing a marble into the paper spiral to make the bowl shape. It was especially helpful making them uniform.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Oh wow a marble is such a good idea!! Ok I will have to remember that! Thank you!

[@thomaslevy2119]

Depending on how the model attic town is to be viewed, a few of the slightly under-sized houses could be positioned towards the background. This will create a forced perspective and make the model of a model seem larger than it is. The same goes for cars, people, and other scenic items. As for the over-sized houses, they can be used in some other way.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That's such an interesting idea! I imagined it being viewed from the side but I will have to wait to make a final call once the attic is built! Great idea to keep in mind!

[@thomaslevy2119]

@@BentleyHouseMinis In the model railroad world, forced perspective has been used to make layouts seem larger. For example, a modeler might use HO scale (1:87) trains and scenic items in the foreground and N scale (1:160) trains and items in the background, or O scale (1:48) in the foreground and HO scale in the background.

[@dmmomma]

Enjoying this very much! Thanks for the work you share with us!

[@DollFairyCrafter]

19:20 kinda reminds me of a plunger, but I do like how you made your paper bowls. I was surprised you didn't 3-D print them.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I might 3D print them down the line if I end up wanting more accurate bowls :) I bet they would make good plungers lol!

Even though I was getting anxious at how small and fiddly the shrimp hands were they turned out amazingly and look really creepy. Perfect for the Beetlejuice house.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I was worried about them too! So much detail in a small mini piece! Glad you like them💖

[@aerial_silks_hoop]

I love it! I'll follow your lead with simplifying a detail and moving on. I have a tendency to get bogged down in a detail too. The bowls turned out great and I love how you solved the shrimp hands puzzle. Very clever

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

There is definitely something to skipping over details that are causing problems. In the moment they seem like huge hurdles but afterwards sometimes I even forget that I skipped them because the overall project still looks good. So glad you liked how it came out!

You posted this one hour ago-while I was watching the movie! And of course, throughout the entire thing, I was thinking "Ooh... How's Ara going to do *this* part of the house?!" Incidentally, I watched the Addams Family earlier this afternoon, and again, all I could think about was your handiwork!

[@skylerwesendunk269]

May I suggest putting a glossy modpodge layer on the bowls? I think it looked like they’re shiny glazed bowls in the movie but it seems the blue paint on your bowls is more matte!

[@katiena1251]

This is so cool! I love this build so much, the creativity of the film in mini form is just so interesting to me. You did a great job bringing it to life, like always.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am really starting to appreciate the design in the film more and more as I try to recreate it! Especially in this scene with the deep blue walls, stark grey granite and bright orange shrimp hands. It all just comes together in a really interesting way!

[@georgecunningham9175]

Creepy is an understatement.................I have come to the conclusion that I will have to forego dessert one evening soon and spend the saving on renting this movie. The Day-O clip was BRILLIANT (though not as brilliant as your re-creation of the Shrimp Hands!). This entire project has captivated me, and I anticipate future videos in this series - though I am perfectly satisfied to watch those videos that show progress on ANY of the other many projects you have in tow in the mean time............

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you George! Its definitely a cult classic and I hear people either love it or hate it😶😄 I think the architecture and design and colors of the entire film are just captivating and I am having such a fun time recreating it!

[@englishNinjasGrammar]

You can use the quilling tool and quilling paper to do the spiral very easily.

[@madonnadove]

Well done! Can’t wait to see them all displayed!

[@gigiw5896]

I wonder if you just use really small hoop earrings as the yellow rings for the bowl, if that would save you some headache. You could just spray paint over them or something?

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Interesting idea! I will be on the look out! Thank you Gigi!

[@chrissychris1360]

U are so talented❤. I love watching your videos. I took your advise and started my first mini house. I used a kit and now I'm confident enough, that I moved into doing a mini bake shop from scratch. Not done yet, took hiatus but I have u to thank. 🤗

[@delciagarcia8287]

You are simply amazing!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@stephaniechandler4717]

This is looking amazing so far ! , as an idea for the rings maybe you could create some little cylinders with balls on the end and glue them to the already yellow ring you've made on the bowl ? That way you wouldn't have to pretty much start it from scratch 😊.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you so much!😊

[@deborahannecoutts5183]

Another wonderful video, Ara! It’s so helpful that you explain why you make something in a certain way or in a particular order. Gluing the bowls to the placemats so they won’t topple is such a clever idea! Rather than remaking the bowls and transferring the hands for the 'little yellow sticky-out things', I would line up straight pins 📍 on wood or styrofoam and dip them in your yellow fever paint. Once dry, they could be clipped to size and added to the existing bowls... maybe drilling small holes first for extra strength. Thank you for another fun and informative half hour! 🤗

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so glad the video is helpful! I am always glad to hear that! Great idea with the pins too!

[@Lacey0312]

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

[@medievallassie]

Nailed it as always! I've never seen Beetlejuice but your descriptions are enticing me, lol. I will gladly tell a spooky story but I won't watch one, lol! I also forgot to tell you that they used our house to film part of an adult themed horror movie called "Son" in February immediately prior to COVID in March. Needless to say the release and the hype for it were stalled but it stars Emile Hirsch and Andi Matichak. I haven't even watched the one that was filmed in my own home!! You can see a few outside shots of my late Victorian as well as the inside (although they made a lot of design changes for the film). I think I will add this comedy horror to my play list though... :-) Great job as always. Love and hugs

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That is so amazing! I will have to look it up and see if I can handle it. I am not big into real horror... with guts and everything. I am more partial to a little scary with a lot of humor along with it. So glad you enjoyed the video my friend!

Oh no! I don't ever mess with the houses because I am unsure of the artists intentions but I will make sure to fluff the roof back up for you! Thank you for sending it to me!💖

[@CornucopiaOFmadness]

The table looks just like in the movie 🤩 wow and the shrimp fingers are indeed amazing 😍 great idea to use the glass roller maybe, to save yourself the struggle you could have coverd it with that putty so it could go into the oven with the Shrimps sculpted ontop of the putty and then you could have cut it from the Roller to get the Shrimps savely off of it. But it still went well enough the way you did it 🤗

[@tinahickson6352]

So cool

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

Perfect for Halloween! The table is just right...and so is your phone, lol. The way you made the hands is a great technique. I can see the bowl technique being used to make urns for mini plants with the stone finish like you used for the table. The liquid polymer might need a drop or two of polymer liquid conditioner, if you have any around. Although, if you have little chunks in it like you mentioned it might be that it's starting to separate beyond recovery. If it was in too warm a place, it might have started to cure in the bottle. If it's old, sometimes it settles so much it just loses the polymers and can't be reconditioned. All the Halloween treats you collected...and that's because you're such a good girl! I started to pick out favorites but it soon became impossible. Houses are so charming. I think what Thomas Levy suggested would be great and also your shelving idea. I'm sure Adam collects mini houses whether they fit into the town or not and that many more will come your way. The folks who made the Beetlejuice doll, box, earrings all of the "extras"...wow! You folks are an awesome inspiration! Can't wait for the next one.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the tips on the liquid polymer. It is SUPER old so that definitely could have been part of the problem. I think it even when through a move with me so I can't guarantee its been in the A/C its whole life. Probably time to invest in some new! I really like Thomas' idea as well and I can't wait to get to the attic!

[@DollFairyCrafter]

Before I watch rest... when I saw you using the Kato I was like ohhhh no its not gonna do what you want it to HAHA... You could have filled the mold with hot glue to clean out the "fingers".. You could even use hot glue in those molds to make the hands if you wanted to. But you could definitely use some scrap clay and just press it into the mold and it would have probably turned out way better than the liquid clay. The only reason I knew the liquid clay wasn't going to work, was because I tried making liquid clay angels before LOL it didn't work out the way I wanted it to, it was far to crumbly.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]
