it's particularly weird when people confront a horror creator about their discomfort, because horror is a genre which is specifically designed to make you uncomfortable. you don't have to ENJOY it, but you don't get to say "you did this wrong" just because discomfort wasn't what you were seeking

Made these stockings last year! The ones on the left were for my team at work and the right were commissioned by a friend for her family. #christmas #stockings #handmadechristmas
Four stockings hanging from J hooks on an olive green door in a warehouse. The two outer stockings are cherry red with whit cuffs bearing a red band. The inner two stockings are a lighter green than the door with cherry red cuffs. The green stockings are painted with red and white paint. The heels and toes of the stockings are red. The red stockings are painted with white paint.Three stockings hanging from the underside of an open staircase. The far left stocking is a velveteen silver gray with the white tree of Gondor printed on it, the cuff is a thick silver fur. The middle stocking is a printed flannel with yellow ball pythons, foliage, and silver wolves patterned over a deep midnight blue with a sunflower yellow velveteen cuff. The rightmost stocking is also flannel with deep green striped toads, toadstool mushrooms with red caps, and green/brown ball pythons printed on a deep midnight blue background with a fluffy red cuff to match the mushrooms.

Practicing wood burning so I don't mess up my seance board...
The back side of a laser cut planchet with the beginnings of a billiard ball burned into it.A completed and signed 8 ball burned into the back of a ouija planchet.First strokes on a spirit communication board. The lettering is overwrought but clearly burnt into the board. The board is separated into wedges with each wedge saying, 'Yes, No, Maybe,' and 'Ask Again.' Graphite drawings on the board await to be burned into the wood. It's somewhere between baby, brat, and cottage core aesthetic.

Finished spirit communication board to use with pendulum.
A circular spirit communication board with dialogue options as: 'Yes, No, Maybe,' and 'Ask Again.' The words and images on the board are burned into the wood. The center is a cup flower viewed from directly above. Each quadrant is marked either by a narrow ribbon bow or thin bundle of flowers. One ribbon has a burnt out match and a heart locket hanging from it, the other a sprig of baby's breath and an 8 ball charm. The flower bundles are faded daisy-like flowers with their blooms facing down and a rose-like flower twining and proud. 

I've considered painting this, but have yet left it as it is described.

The teddy bear is more than 20" tall with a round belly and a cream and tan patterned color blocking. The paws, belly, sides of the head, and inner ears are all cream and the tan print covers the rest. How sweet!The teddy bear's head is zipped off and sticking out of the neck hole is a bottle of moonshine. What a naughty teddy!

Let's see dem faces!
Close up of an exagerated fierce expression on Rey of Jakku from the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Her brow is furrowed and her eyes and nose pinched together and wrankled. She bears her teeth in a wide grimace.An Alphonse Mucha inspired portrait of my friend. She is a large woman with a strong and gentle jawline. Her profile bears a strong Roman nose, full lips, and clear eyes. She wears a head band with a medallion her hair swept back into the halo behind her head. Her shoulders are draped with a necklace of large medallions.What if that sweaty, greasy creep, Marty Malt, from the Dark Backward were a frogman? 
This image is a close up of Marty as a frogman in the style of Rumiko Takahashi. He has dinner plate eyes on either side of his face, greasy dark hair parted on the side of his head. He looks stunned and worried, sweating profusely with his mouth a gape. His warty hands grasp at the front of his suit shirt. One warty hand reaching worriedly for his face.Drastic top-down angle of Aunkle Punkle looking wide eyed and freakish.
