Creating A Gothic Victorian Halloween

[@TheEclecticPhotog]

If I owned my own home, this would be my year round aesthetic. I'd live in a Dark Academia Practical Magic Harry Potter Wonderland all year !

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

I must admit I’m loving the dark academia very much 👍

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Me too 🖤❤️🖤☠️

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

I know what you mean. Curious, why is it called dark academia 👻🎃 ha ha

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

@@Timetraveler1111MN they always have to come up with new names. I’d just call it Victorian inspired lol

Love the fairy cage! Even more poetic than a Calder assemblage box. Such a sorry fate for those poor fairies! But Peter Pan would tell you that this is what happens when children stop believing...

I love this dark mystical spooky decor and it reminds me of Obsolete Oddities on YT. His stories are fabulous!! In our Victorian house I set up a table with old chairs and large skeletons sitting around making eyeballs in a red “sauce” with finger parts on the cutting board and rats all around the table. The kids could see it in the foyer as soon as they came up the stairs. So much fun! Birds and nests would look nice in that clock too!

[@lynseysrecycledbliss1111]

Oh that sounds amazing. Thank goodness see to think once the kids had grown and left Halloween decorations would be a thing of the past , but I decompress now. Lol🎃

[@backuppixiedust1115]

I think the “something scratching it’s way out of a mirror” might work better if the scratches were a a little longer? Use your fingertips to figure out what it would look like if you tried to scratch at the glass and use a frisked/temporary paint resist material, then use a metallic silver paint to get a more reflective mirror surface. Peel off the frisked and you have your realistic scratches! Alternatively, you could use some image transfer medium to put the printed eyes directly on the glass, then put the mirror finish behind them so it looks a little more like a face appearing somewhere it shouldn’t be

We definitely have the same level of halloween spook to our decorating style. I love the little victorian dall you did a couple years back. Ive been looking for the right dall to make one myself. The fairy cage, wow! That really turned out!! Love it. Remember the little anodized metal shaped Modle T vehicles that were music boxes. I always thought they were kind of creepy all by them selves but I started decorating them with the little skeletons posed in rambunctious positions. Well, thanks for another fun halloween video and I really hope you might have time to make another befor or during October.
