It’s nearly that time of year! When I’ve had a chance I’ve been working on a little diorama project for Halloween. Have a look on The Year Of Halloween blog for a detailed account of how it was made. However, although I planned it out and put it together, there are things I can’t take credit for.

This makes me both happy and sad. The Museum of Bad Art has put ‘so bad they’re good’ pieces on display, though in my opinion no art of any kind will ever replace The Room‘s ultimate position as Worst Ever Anything. Anyone wanting to see more can skim through this best of collection of photos from the unfortunate museum pieces. Here’s my personal favourite:
Well, there we go. Try not to weep at the beauty and I shall see you next time.
