We had a lot of fun putting this Halloween scene together and think it is possibly the first project where we have used all three of our materials, i.e. Lutradur, Evolon and Zeelon.

Evolon provided the perfect screen, which we stapled as taut as possible to the sides of a large sturdy box.  The clouds of cobwebs around the house and pumpkins were formed by teasing apart the fibres of some Zeelon Light. Everything else was made with Lutradur.

Here’s a brief description of each item –

1. Haunted House and Spooky Tree
   Both made from two layers of Lutradur XL (the thickest and most rigid weight), coloured with grey and black acrylic paint with battery operated lights sandwiched in between.
   
2. Large Bats
   Cut from Lutradur 70gsm Black with machine stitching and eyes made out of Evolon.
   
3. Pumpkins
   Lutradur 70gsm coloured with orange transfer paint, decorated with green transfer painted Evolon leaves and stalks.
   
4. Witch and Little Bats (behind the screen)
   Cut from Lutradur XL, painted with black acrylic paint and fixed to thin dowelling rods to allow them to be operated like puppets.

We closed the blinds and put a light behind the screen to create the desired shadow effect and hey presto we had our very own shadow theatre!
