Binding a Coffin Book

This week we’ve come to the final installment of our Halloween themed video series. This week’s project is an homage to the classic movie monsters. Bryonna show us how to create a decorative coffin for the Spooky Photo Album. The coffin holds a flip-book full of classic movie monster portraits (drawn by me, G.J. Sieck). Bryonna also shows a number of crafting techniques. Have you ever heard of Japanese stabbing? If not, you can learn about it in this week’s video!

Medusa and Her Babies

In this week’s video, we return to the Spooky Photo album. I was unaware that Medusa hatched babies from eggs, but I guess that’s a thing. Sounds creepy, so I’m into it—perfect for Halloween! Moreover, Medusa and her unhatched children are great inspiration for the next page of our Spooky Photo Album. There’s so much in this video. Among other crafting techniques, Bryonna shows a bit of sculpting, hand lettering, and even some painting.

Check out this latest video for even ore Halloween inspiration. Create your own Spooky Photo Album to keep in your haunted library!

Is it assemblage art? Is it art journaling? Is it mix media? I don't know, maybe it's all three. What I do know is that today we're decorating a page in our ...

Ghost in a Mirror

As we continue further into “Spooky Season,” with our Spooky Photo Album in hand (see last week’s video), we crank the creepiness up a notch. In this week’s edition of our Halloween themed video series, Bryonna shows how to put a ghost into a mirror. Well, not really. Actually, Bryonna makes a ghost mirror; it’s not only a really fun Halloween decoration, but an appropriately ghastly edition to the Spooky Photo Album.

There’s a good chance you already have much of what you need to create a ghost mirror. As usual, though, links to necessary tools and materials can be found in the description beneath the video. And be sure to hit the subscribe button as not to miss the next update in the series.

Halloween is Upon Us

Halloween is upon us, and that means that we’re pretty stoked at 1134 Press. Clearly, this Halloween is going to be a bit different from those of the past. That’s okay, though, because there is plenty that we can do to get into the spooky spirit right from home.

This month we are creating a Spooky Photo Album! It’s an awesome project for this time of year and the materials are easy to come by; they’re linked in the video, and you may already have most at home. Make sure you subscribe to the channel to be notified when the next video drops!

In a gothic Halloween dream, I envisioned a SPOOKY PHOTO ALBUM. I picked up dollar store Halloween décor and upcycled a thrift store photo album and made thi...
