The Promised Meatloaf Post...

                                                A special looking "Meat-Loaf"...!!!
                                  Those fingernails are bits of (baked) red onion...

                                   Here it  is with regular onion as fingernails...
This is a hand sized (and shaped) Meatloaf  ... perfect for Two or to make single ones as a serving for each guest.... it is served upon mashed potatoes (which you can add a few drops of red food coloring) giving it something upon which to "rest".... (Using Rice instead, could look a bit revolting).

                                The red onion makes for  better finger nails....

                                      And a thick onion piece as its "wrist"....

                           Well, there you have a disgusting-looking Holiday Meal idea...

Need a Hand....???

                
            a short tutorial on crafting "Creepy-looking" hands for your Halloween props....

                                                   First ...the "frame-work...

Use thin PVC piping... cutting most of the way through each "joint" of every finger....

                      with the wire under-structure ... you can position the fingers.....

                Next comes the "Skin"... Here they appear to have used masking tape....


                                                 Here is the "fleshed-out" Hand....

                                                 Next apply some adhesive...

                           adding some cotton fiber to give the "Hand" a bit of dimension...


                                               don't forget its "bony knuckles"....

               Coat the entire thing with latex paint and you have a great-looking prop....
