Spooky Inspiration

Tunnel under the Neuschwanstein Castle
Happy Halloween Everyone!

 I am a huge fan of Halloween and the whole fall season. I love supernatural related stories, movies, the leaves changing colors, spooky decorations, black cats, giving out candy, costumes (of course), and more! Spooky inspiration is all around us.

 Every year I want to create my own costume but then it's October and I never have enough time to make one from scratch. Does this ever happen to anyone else? Hopefully next year I will get my act together for 2019 and actually make my own Halloween costume. I would love to do something that looks easy but has a ton of details like one of the Sanderson sisters looks. 

 I currently have a few projects I want to start working on, however I also want to snag some on sale Halloween printed fabric for some basic vintage inspired silhouette dresses. So not entirely sure what my next project will be!

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself."   When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character.  My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the
