First Try This is the 'Prototype' |
| The written invitation is wrapped around the 'Guardian of Darkness' necklace and placed in the coffin. The coffin is lined with satin cloth (red in the final version). The paper is dyed yellow and burned at the edges to give it an 'old' look. | |
 |
Laying out the coffins to be cut. |
| The coffins are 6" high and 2.5" across and made from .25" plywood. | |
 |
Tops and bottoms cut out, waiting for sides |
 |
Coffins in various stages of assembly |
 |
Slave labor used to help paint the coffins. They liked painting, Really! |
| These are my nephews, Tyler on the left and Brock on the right. I think most of the paint got on the table. You will see at the end they did a great job. | |
 |
Painted and assembled coffins with engraved and painted cross. |
|
A cross was routered into the top of each coffin and then painted. I painted half silver and half red. The tops will be painted black, highlighting the crosses.

Next step, gluing the lining in the coffins.
