2019-09-02 20:35:33 +0000 UTCThis video has far surpassed my expectations for something from a Patreon subscription. Everything from the music to the production was spot-on and I am ever more thankful for having a venue to watch you work your magic again. You are such an inspiration.
Emma Cipolla
2019-09-02 20:34:28 +0000 UTCFabulous! You are so amazingly imaginative. I have a Dremel tool (with the handy attachment too) and I'm afraid to use it. Plus I don't know what all the different tips are for. If you are ever up for a more "practical" type video a Dremel how to would be fabulous.
Andrea Jane
2019-09-02 20:30:50 +0000 UTCSo beautiful!!! ๐๐ definitely something I'll have try and replicate!
Caitlyn ODonnell

Wesley Anne Little
2019-09-02 20:07:20 +0000 UTCVery inspiring project! I am always looking for an occasion to use my dremel tool. Thank you for sharing some thoughts on the face shield you use. As someone who must wear corrective lenses, safety glasses are always a hassle and this looks like a great option!
Amanda W.
2019-09-02 20:05:34 +0000 UTCThank you - I love this. So excited to create my own. Want to style it similar to the decorated skeletons of Saints. Think you would find the topic ineresting. Been reading via Paul Koudounaris' book Heavenly Bodies: https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2013/10/the-beauty-of-death-catacomb-saints-photographed-by-paul-koudounaris/

2019-09-02 19:56:25 +0000 UTCThank you so much!! I just did that earlier this year and it makes the room so much more fun to be in :D
Christine McConnell
2019-09-02 19:36:12 +0000 UTCLovely creepy/elegant project! And is the carved skirting around the bottom of your kitchen cabinets new? It looks great!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2019-09-02 19:33:43 +0000 UTCAgh! It's the worst! I'll do my best to always provide that info! Most of my shopping is done at large chains, so most of what I buy can be easily picked up by anybody else, so long as they have the internet :D
Christine McConnell
2019-09-02 19:27:09 +0000 UTCCan I just say how very much I appreciate that you shared your supply sources? โฅ In the costuming realm, so, so many will refuse to share sources, or if they do it's something vague like; "Oh, an internet seller. Tee-hee!" and that is such passive-aggressive gate-keeping.
Rebecca Johnson
2019-09-02 19:20:57 +0000 UTCThat is amazing! Not something I would have ever thought to do.
Danielle Freeman
2019-09-02 19:20:22 +0000 UTCAwesome! Canโt wait to go see what the crafts stores have for Halloween, maybe I can do something similar on a smaller budget.

Kat Jones
2019-09-02 18:55:12 +0000 UTCCan you include info on what attachents you use for the dremel? I have one but am never sure I'm using the right bit for each job. Thanks
Ellen
2019-09-02 18:50:14 +0000 UTCI had been hoping Wed get this one! I'm in love and want to make one for myself!
elizabeth quinlisk
2019-09-02 18:44:20 +0000 UTCLove this! Really enjoyed watching you make it as well, but I do wish there was a little more explanation as you went. What was the dowel-type thing you were cutting? Was that (and the cork) for stability for the skull, or maybe to support the back of it? What type of glue do you prefer? I did see epoxy but wasnโt sure if that was for all the attaching (vase to stand, skull to vase, finial to skull). I especially appreciated your asides about the dremel and safety gear. Your dremel seems to be more industrial than a typical crafters and now I covet it! Thanks for the great vid - the high production values made it extra enticing to watch!
Kat H
2019-09-02 18:44:06 +0000 UTCYou've definitely inspired me to ask for a dremel for Christmas ! Love this!!
Amanda Barnwell
2019-09-02 18:40:21 +0000 UTCThis was absolutely phenomenal Christine!!! Loved the elongated incisors as well (I see what you did there ;). The kitty cameo was also very much appreciated...adorable! Thank you for being such an inspiration, you knocked it out of the park (again) with this piece!

Shawn Davies
2019-09-02 16:53:10 +0000 UTCThank you, Christine! I'm not sure I understand what's going on at a couple of points. While I really like that your video is mostly just showing work on the project with the very cool and stereo-eerie music playing, could you add a few more comments about what you're doing and what your intent is? For example, it looks like at one point you're cutting a candle-thick dowel to a short length for mounting the skull to the candleholder, but later it appears that you've got a couple of corks for that, or maybe I'm just confused. How does that all work? Earlier, when you're cutting off the top of the skull with the dremel, do you need to angle or bevel the cut to help the top nestle on the base of the skull, or does straight unangled work OK (or not matter due to the fabric and ribbon)? Which dremel tool are you using? How do you keep it from skipping on the skull when doing the first passes on the arcs? Sorry for all the questions, but it looks like you've got a lot of stuff really figured out!
KHAAAN Joger
2019-09-02 16:52:35 +0000 UTCYou are beyond talented and creative! ๐๐
