More progress in the Gothic Mansion...

More progress in the Gothic Mansion today. I did some of the drapes in the sheer chiffon. This stuff is not like working with the gauze. Right now it's pinned, and not hot glued onto the walls. I did two lower windows to see how it looks. 



I pulled out all my spooky props, including my King Tut sarcophagus. No gothic mansion is complete without an Egyptian sarcophagus greeting you at the door. Or with gargoyles everywhere!


Mistress of the Manor and her dripping candlestick! About this time, some of the 'guests' start to arrive........





It seems Thelma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo have arrived and are wondering where Daphne and Fred are! They were supposed to arrive ahead of them??Hmmm...let's hope the Count didn't decide to have his own 'Scooby' Snacks....lol....It appears Shaggy doesn't like that sarcophagus in the living room either!! 

Currently my GLOSS Starlight Poppy Parker is going to be Daphne and my GLOSS CI guy is going to be Fred, who I am making his Fred outfit. So they will show up dressed later...

I did some experimenting with the 2nd floor....



Tried to get an idea if I supported the 2nd floor with pillars inside and did maybe a wood framework as well as pinning the floor to the walls...I will have a better idea when the third wall is in place. But it does look kind of cool with a ceiling. 
All for now- Lisa

Hi Lisa, you're doing a wonderful job. I love the names of your characters (Miss Danvers....I love Rebecca!)
and when I saw Velma and Shaggy, you cracked me up!!!

Wow, great progress on this! Supporting the second floor with pillars looks like a good idea. Your pillars look like PVC pipe -- that seems like a good, study option!

I laughed out loud when I saw the Scooby-Do gang. That is really funny.

It's coming along really well. The colors and the small details are perfect. I love that you used Scooby-Doo and the crew. Brought me back to my childhood when I used to watch the cartoon.

thank you both! I adore scooby doo. I have been trying to get Daphne and Fred's outfits together and that has been a losing battle. Hopefully some progress will be made on that soon!
