Comments

It's amazing!!! i'm so blown away by your diverse abilities and the way you put it to work! It's so inspiring!

Marianne

That is one lucky Captive. Class and hands on skillsets that both can be productive, in the current endeavors, and later, maybe great in a second season charming and calming the beasts: ) Definitely some Druid skills there.

Tony (asmoody)

I absolutely LOVE this! Your creative talent blows my mind every single time. Thank you for sharing!

Tatum

This turned out so incredible! Itโ€™s such a fun addition to your home. Please tell the captive this episode had the BEST music! So magical!

Kitty Lang

"Patiently" waiting for a certain link to buy a certain something... ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

Carlie Brashears

The way your mind works & the amount of effort you put into everything is just wow. No words ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Amanda Doyle

I would love to see a closer and slower look at the finished product, this is fabulous!

Gina Radford

Thank you so much! Not sure why I can access them if there isn't a link?

Brynn Carroll Art

This is so fun! Do you need a stepstool to be able to lean over the sink and into the wall cavity?

Lauren Carman

Flabbers are gasted. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm stealing that for my personal vocabulary collection.

Carlie Brashears

Complete the scene: Christene powders her face in the mirror and gives pause when she hears a blood curdling scream. She opens the mirror and returns the powder to the cabinet before proceeding to open up the wall. She removes the false eyes and looks out. What does she see?

Holly

CONTEST IDEA: you choose a room that needs to be redone and your patrons pitch a color scheme/theme/design. You pick the winner and take the theme and run with it!

Brandy Byhoffer

Oh, to be the person who owns this house 100 years from now, taking off the previous owner's art and stopping cold in my steps- wha- why is there a hole??? WAIT I NEED TO GET INSIDE THIS ROOM AND LOOK AT THE WALL-!!!

Nora Dallaire

My flabbers are utterly gasted! Every time, you pull off even more amazing things!!

Tammy R Dowden

This is brilliant - can you share what it looks like on the outside when you switch from the painting eyes to yours.

Destino

ooooh boy.. I've been wanting to do this to our old house! We have a perfect little spot behind our medicine cabinet, which I've wanted to recreate/replace since we moved in. As always, you're so inspiring, Christine!

Lisa Donohue

Is there anything you can't do? haha ! This was so fun to watch! I love it!

Ashley Bosworth

My head has officially exploded. This is just amazing.

Marti Kennedy

Terrific idea. I found a space in my kitchen to do this. I was lucky enough to only have plaster and lathe to cut through. When it's completed I shall share the end results.

Veronica

My boyfriend has yet another reason to think I'm insane now, because upon the final reveal I started squealing like a giddy school girl and clapping my hands ๐Ÿคฃ it's just too good lol

Sarah Kane

That was absolutely brilliant Christine. I loved every second of it.

Holy smokes Christine!!! This is soooo amazing!!! Itโ€™s PERFECT in the stair well! I canโ€™t believe how creepy the finish project was ๐Ÿ™€ ๐Ÿ–ค

Luanne Hermann

I think this is my favorite project. It's bonkers and so extra and I love it!!

Lynnetta

Hello! For some reason I cant click the play button? Can someone give me a direct link? I am not sure if it is because of my VPN? Thanks! Forgot to mention, the only way I can access any videos is when they are posted on her home page where there is a list of links by month. Help?

Brynn Carroll Art

Christine, I was wondering- what happened to the video where you painted the room with the medallion? I cannot find it on Patreon

Maxim Nikolaev Linkov

Happy Halloween Christine! Thank you!

Tonya Moore

This is a fantastic idea!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽ‰

Christine McConnell

Truly amazing! This whole project is by far my favorite. Such a great creepy cool feature in a house. Love it! Thanks for all of your incredibly hard work to bring this to fruition.

Christie Aldrich

Here is a cool website if you ever need to re-silver an antique mirror when the silver backing flakes off. https://angelgilding.com/knowledge-base/re-silvering-old-mirrors.html

Jennifer Urrea

That was incredible! Totally the kind of thing people talk about....and absolutely NEVER do! Except you, lady!!!!! You're such a smarty pants!!!!!!

Kiki Reef

Love the secret message you left for the future! Wonderful project - and storage is always a plus. As well as sneaky, Scooby Doo spying.

Racheal Jones

This is my favorite (so far) of all your projects! Brilliant! Thank you for taking us on this journey.

Starla Lester

As my daughter used to say "Happy Havoleen".

Danee Paullin Kaplan

That makes sense. Horsehair was used to strengthen plaster from the 1800s all the way to the 1950s. It was generally used with lime based plaster.

Patricia Kelly

Ok... let's add masonry to your list of many talents. I would definitely have been afraid that something wouldn't work out. Your projects always come out awesome. Great that you have extra storage too!

Leslie Langenegger

The really cool thing is that no matter what you do, I always know it will be awesome and beyond the pale! You are the Goddess of ghoulish delights and visual nightmares! Happy Halloween everyone!

Anna Radaelli

This is amazing! I love it.

Roimata Ness

Stunning work! Beyond cool!

Veronica Kjellberg

This is one of my favorite projects you have done. I've always loved movies that have the eyeballs in the painting effect and you actually put one in your house! It's just wonderful.

Cheri LaTorre

Reason 8,621 why I need a huge victorian mansion

Marnie Kaler

That was so amazing!!! I think I would have cried when I saw the bricks. I admire you for persevering and pushing through. The result is incredible. I just had one question. Doesn't the sink get in your way when you're trying to look through the portraits eyes? I'm trying to picture how you would do it. Regardless, I love this!

Deb McGrath

so cool!!!

expandingnebula

This was so much fun! Thanks!

Tracey Warner

I love this! These are the sort of videos I would love to see more of. Word working, spooky baking and sculpting weird and wonderful things. X

Griss

Everything you do, I'm just beyond impressed at what you can accomplish! You've absolutely blown your original haunted painting out the water and I thought that one was already incredible!

Hayley Bagley

This is the best month ever!๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽƒ

Emy AUBIN

Really making my week with all the videos and the livestream was amazing! Hoping youโ€™ll have a soul ownership program in exchange for the new collab coming๐Ÿ˜… ready to sign mine away!

Noelle Nurmi

Now you just need to film your eyes, upload it to an iphone, stick it in the cabinet, and when you have Halloween parties it can be playing the eyes moving around and you can host and when people ask about the painting with the moving eyes you can be like 'what painting'

Skelly Bones

You are so talented!

Tori

Secret tunnels!!

Carlie Brashears

This is spectacular! I love the painting and the hidden storage wall concept. Any plans to make the painting available for purchase? If so count me in!

Deborah Wiltshire Whaley

Sensational!! As always <3

Victoria Aubrey

Ooooooooo!!! I thought we might be digging a tunnel from the carriage house to the house!! But I'm super excited about the compartment too ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Sherrie Potgieter

Wow it's like Christmas

EdenValentine

Oh my gosh I love secret compartments and passageways! You are so much fun!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

I can't believe the turnaround on these Christine! You must have actual magical powers! Thanks for such an amazing effort this spooky season! Happy Halloween!
