Star in Southpark!!

OK, not really. But you can make a custom avatar of you as a character, like I did.

Me, all ready for Halloween, the BEST night of the year! :)

Caught in a Web: MSC's featured item on Mrs. B's 31 Days of Halloween!

Glad you stopped by...a spooky welcometo you!! :)

As most of you know, I am participating in Mrs. B's annual 31 Days of Halloween. Well, today is day that my donation is featured, a Spiderweb & Stripes Batwing Apron for domestic witches. :)

While you're there, check out the previous day's for exceptionally creative Halloween bloggers and artists. And remember, there are 10 more days til the BIG night!

What in the heck are Igor 's Curiosities?

What do you think of when you hear "Mad Scientist"? No, not menacing castles, although those are excellent locations for an alchemist's lair. And no, not getting struck by lightning or playing with cadavers. Why, experiments, of course!

Wikipedia makes the distinction between archetypes: "...A quick way to tell the difference is that a mad scientist thinks "can I do this" whilst an evil genius thinks "what can I use this for?" Those with Mad Craft Skills embody a bit of both in their 'experiments'. And the mediums have a wide range - from Photoshop to fabric to paint.

OK, getting to the point...

As promised when I started this blog, this post begins a random series to highlight clever creations which are aptly named "Igor's Curiosities". Curiosities are defined as "..a strange, rare, or peculiar object. An oddity." Rather than see the hunchback assistant as a bumbling liability, I view Igor as more of a creepy yet endearing muse.

So.....the MSC Lab is henceforth also a forum to give props to those who push the envelope. Or should I say "flip the switch" to try something unique and ingenious.

Shall we begin....*drumroll please*

The first installment is for those graphic art mad scientists out there who also love Halloween. Design Live shares 30 wickedly delicious tutorials to create creepy retouched photos or scary graphics to celebrate the season. Muhahahaha!

The debut of Friday's F Word!

Just for sake of twisted entertainment value, every Friday (cos we ALL love the weekend!), the MSC Lab will be passing along an online tidbit that fits the category of either "Freaky" or "Funny". It just so happens that the inaugural selection is BOTH. :)

The Domestic Witch herself, Mrs. B., recently introduced me to the most wonderful book site ever: Quirk Books. As a lifelong avid bookworm, moi was like a kid in a candy store perusing the twisted goodies in this store. From "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" to "Crochet a Cthulhu" to "How to Tell if Your Boyfriend is Possessed by Demons." Great fun for those who embrace the strange and morbid things in life.

Now go forth and celebrate Quirktober!

Oh what a tanged web we weave.....
