  • What you’re about to see is actual footage of what happened when I tried to create this piece. I’ve watched the footage back so many times and still can’t figure out how this all happened. I highly suggest watching this video with a white candle burning. And maybe grab an apple cider donut. Ya know, for luck.

    This is inspired, Jenn! I love the staging props you created. The foam turned out to be the best thing ever! You created authentic roots and vines. Love the eye dropper trick. Question: is that bottom drawer cedar lined? I hope, now that you have helped and painted it, the chest’s spirit is feeling loved and it won’t be leaving you any more messages because that would be spooky! Kudos for the film and sound editing and for the music selection. A special nod to the Beetlejuice-inspired nail art! Absolutely excellent! Every bit of all of it! Chef’s kiss!🌸

    • @CopperCactusDIY
      @CopperCactusDIY  2 роки тому +1

      It surprised me just how great that spray foam worked. I've used it for it's true purpose before but I wasn't sure if it would work for this. Sooo much happier than if I did sheet foam! This project (the piece AND the video) was so dang fun I'm actually sad it's over 😆 But it's made me excited to up my game even more on future projects. You're totally the best, Deborah!

    • @CopperCactusDIY
      @CopperCactusDIY  2 роки тому +1

      You're right, it's definitely cedar. Back in the day it was common to find a tall boy with a bottom drawer cedar lined to protect against moths and other bugs getting into wool clothing. I'm still not convinced of how this was built or who built it. Wish Cavalier wasn't out of business!
