As a pig is to truffles, so am I to random crap on the internet. This week will be a buffet of the finest hand-picked links.<\/p>\n
Steampumkin<\/a> – Cherie Priest’s Jack-o’-lantern. There’s a tutorial for steaming up plastic pumpkins here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stellaluna Costume<\/a> – This is a rental costume used for promoting the children’s book<\/a>. It’d be a heck of a cosplay outfit. Or just wear it to lounge around the house.<\/p>\n Anatomical Coat<\/a> – Submitted by xJane with the comment, “Could be DIY’d…if you have a steady hand, artistic talent, patience, 62 hours of free time, and a thrifted light trench.” I could probably manage the “light trench” part.<\/p>\n A Map of the Introvert’s Heart<\/a> – Yup.<\/p>\n Punk-kin<\/a> – Instructions for making a leather-studded S&M pumpkin.<\/p>\n 12 Stunningly Spooky Halloween Heels<\/a> – Some of these would be reasonably DIY-able with decoupage. (Hat tip to Cat)<\/i><\/p>\n Dragon Backpack<\/a> – By the ever-awesome Bob Basset workshop.<\/p>\n Frankenstein Exhibition<\/a> – Upcoming exhibition at the British Library which sounds pretty neat, as does the BBC’s associated “Gothic Season” programming. I don’t know if the exhibit will tour or not, but hopefully some of the programming will be available to a non-UK audience.<\/p>\n Horror Star Chart<\/a> – Interesting “star chart” which maps horror movies as constellations.<\/p>\n
