Just joined as a member...your attention to detail is amazing. I have watched so many of your videos I ran out. They are helping me get through a hard time with a sad divorce. I love your cats! And your patience and how you take your time with each small step is so cool. Thanks again!

Wow this is just incredible. I could never picture a skull being made so gorgeous. You are truly an inspiration Christine, so happy that I can support you!

Ashley Blue

Mesmerizing!

Martha Colhoun

I love the vintage jewelry eyes! And I pity the burglar who tries to get your jewelry from that skull! You could put a note on it saying, " Skull of the last guy to tried to steal my stuff"!

Jenna Hale

This was so soothing and satisfying to watch. Thank you Christine!

banglada

I adore the ruffle & pearl detail on the skull! I also love that your even LINED it! Stunning! I make fascinator hats so doing the fabrication & detail on a skull blows my mind!

Thomas Negovan

So absolutely wonderful.

Diane Lewandowski

So very pretty! If I don’t win it, I will most definitely make it!

I'm confused about that show too.

Ms.K & the KOOL Kids

Love it!!!

Lori Vanlandingham

I’m so inspired! This was really fun to watch & a really cool idea.

Wilma Castillo

Werewolf is so adorable, goodness🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Emma Cipolla

This 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.

Andrea Jane

Fabulous! 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.

Caitlyn ODonnell

So beautiful!!! 😍😍 definitely something I'll have try and replicate!

Wesley Anne Little

I love this so much! I find your show both inspiring and relaxing - my favorite way to feel!

Amanda W.

Very 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!

Gabriela Bello

Thank 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/

Christine McConnell

Thank you so much!! I just did that earlier this year and it makes the room so much more fun to be in :D

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Lovely creepy/elegant project! And is the carved skirting around the bottom of your kitchen cabinets new? It looks great!

Christine McConnell

Agh! 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

Rebecca Johnson

Can I just say how very much I appreciate that you shared your supply sources? ♥ 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.

Danielle Freeman

That is amazing! Not something I would have ever thought to do.

Katrina Dixon

Awesome! Can’t wait to go see what the crafts stores have for Halloween, maybe I can do something similar on a smaller budget.

Nicholas Frig

Beautiful project and loved seeing the new kitten!

Sarah Bear

What a great video!! Also loved the cats!

Kat Jones

The amount of detail you put into your projects is just breathtaking ever dang time.

Ellen

Can 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

elizabeth quinlisk

I had been hoping Wed get this one! I'm in love and want to make one for myself!

Kat H

Love 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 wasn’t 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!

Amanda Barnwell

You've definitely inspired me to ask for a dremel for Christmas ! Love this!!

Vicki Liu

This 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!

Kassandra Love

You are amazing and such an inspiration! My fiance and I are getting married in October and only wish we could have consulted with you when we were making our decorations for our masqurade reception. 🥰

KHAAAN Joger

...or maybe these can wait for the monthly Q&A...

Shawn Davies

Glorious! Just the right blend of spooky and elegant!

KHAAAN Joger

Thank 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!

Kelly

You are beyond talented and creative! 💎💀

Susan Koppang

Hi Christine! Thank you so much! Gigi, my 10 year old god-daughter, my husband Erik and I LOVED every second. We kept commenting...ohh look at how she added the lace, oh, look at wallpaper in the room, and of course oh my gosh we love the cat! Gigi keeps muttering "I'm blown away!" She just scurried off to her crafting corner in my house. Thank you for inspiring fans of all ages!
