Haunted Family Portrait

This is probably the most spooky of the two frames that I made. I love the effect the holographic picture made with the bloody, full of guts mesh curtain.

My ideal spot to hang this frame is over an altar of candles (preferably battery operated candles), away from the wall so that the frame can twirl slowly in circles, with more candles on each side (these candles will be attached to the wall). This way the light from the candles will cast enough light, as well as, shadow on the frame so that the on-looker will be able to see the shape-shifting images the picture provides. (Watch the video, to see what I mean by shape-shifting.)

The guts are actually made out of hot glue and paint, but the effect is amazing! It really looks like guts, since the glue has a bit of shine to it, so the "guts" actually look quite juicy.

Here is a break down of the Materials used and estimated prices. Remember you can always substitute with things you already have, and stuff like glue and other crafting tools, most already have in their house hold, but I will put up the estimated prices for those too, just in case you really don't have any of these things!
