Wax Scarecrow

May 23rd, 2011 by John Wolfe

If you read the comments posted under the Music to Corpse By entry, you may have seen the conversation ssflipo, Camile and I were having about ssflipo’s really cool wax scarecrow (with perched bat) creation. He was kind enough to let me see this pic yesterday and I think it looks great! I’d love to have a ‘crow like that sitting on my desk watching over me as I work on SoS. :) Ssflipo did have a question pertaining to sealing and hardening the wax sculpture. So, I offered the suggestion that he may want to try “Sculpt or Coat” found at Sculptural Arts, as that seems like it would be a good product for protecting it.

Speaking of Sculpt or Coat, a big thanks goes out to “Krough” over at Grim Visions for first turning me onto the product back on the old Methods of Madness forum at Terror Syndicate. Anyway, I know a lot of EXTREMELY talented, artistic folks visit here, and I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions for another good sealant (maybe one that is meant to be used specifically for wax) to harden and protect his scarecrow.

Again, great job, ssflipo, and thanks for sharing the pic!

Music to Corpse By

May 21st, 2011 by John Wolfe

I was first turned on to the foreign, dark ambient music scene through raison d’etre, via Pumpkinrot, several years ago, and ever since I’ve enjoyed listening to many artists in the genre. As time’s gone on, I’ve found my favorite stylings to be dark ambient combined with chant-like sounds.

Speaking of which, today’s vid features just that. The project is called, “Arduinna”; the song is “Memento Mori”; and the album (though there’s no CD released yet) is “Weris.”

I’d love to feature this track in the Halloween Radio section. I’ve been in touch with the creator of Arduinna and I’m keeping my fingers crossed I receive permission to bring the song on-board the player.

Since this type of music puts me in that creative spooky mood, I’m headed out to the shop to get back to “corpsing” Little Grim. I’m hoping to have him finished come mid-summer, so I can post him in a giveaway before Halloween.
