Its Almost Halloween

Halloween is only 3 days away! My graveyard is almost ready, we lost a few store bought tombstones in the wind and I have yet to put them back up. Some of the neighbors stop by and admired the graveyard. Its great to see everyone who drives by smile and look at the graveyard.


I made a Grim Reaper for the graveyard this year. I bought a skeleton mask at a yard sale earlier this year that makes up the head and neck. I have a mannequin that makes up the body, and my friends gave me a nice grim reaper cape. We've had an antique sickle hanging in the barn as long as I've been alive. So I put all these things together and now I have a grim reaper. The mask was stuffed with an oversize black garbage bag and was duck taped to the mannequin. I wired the sickle onto the grim reaper and was trying to set it up when the sickle fell and hit my hand, its a good thing the blade isn't sharp or I would have cut off my finger. I wired it on better and used cinder blocks to keep everything up. The arms are from an old buckley skeleton that fell apart.









I got this cool skeleton from Wal Mart.com, its a better price than the ones you can get from the medical supply place, but its probably not as good of quality.
