It's amazing!!! i'm so blown away by your diverse abilities and the way you put it to work! It's so inspiring!
Tony (asmoody)
That is one lucky Captive. Class and hands on skillsets that both can be productive, in the current endeavors, and later, maybe great in a second season charming and calming the beasts: ) Definitely some Druid skills there.
Tatum
I absolutely LOVE this! Your creative talent blows my mind every single time. Thank you for sharing!
Kitty Lang

"Patiently" waiting for a certain link to buy a certain something... πππ
Amanda Doyle
The way your mind works & the amount of effort you put into everything is just wow. No words ππ»ππ»
Gina Radford
I would love to see a closer and slower look at the finished product, this is fabulous!
Brynn Carroll Art
Thank you so much! Not sure why I can access them if there isn't a link?
Lauren Carman
This is so fun! Do you need a stepstool to be able to lean over the sink and into the wall cavity?
Carlie Brashears
Flabbers are gasted. π I'm stealing that for my personal vocabulary collection.
Holly
Complete the scene: Christene powders her face in the mirror and gives pause when she hears a blood curdling scream. She opens the mirror and returns the powder to the cabinet before proceeding to open up the wall. She removes the false eyes and looks out. What does she see?
Brandy Byhoffer
CONTEST IDEA: you choose a room that needs to be redone and your patrons pitch a color scheme/theme/design. You pick the winner and take the theme and run with it!
Nora Dallaire
Oh, to be the person who owns this house 100 years from now, taking off the previous owner's art and stopping cold in my steps- wha- why is there a hole??? WAIT I NEED TO GET INSIDE THIS ROOM AND LOOK AT THE WALL-!!!
Tammy R Dowden
My flabbers are utterly gasted! Every time, you pull off even more amazing things!!
Destino
This is brilliant - can you share what it looks like on the outside when you switch from the painting eyes to yours.
Lisa Donohue
ooooh boy.. I've been wanting to do this to our old house! We have a perfect little spot behind our medicine cabinet, which I've wanted to recreate/replace since we moved in. As always, you're so inspiring, Christine!
Ashley Bosworth
Is there anything you can't do? haha ! This was so fun to watch! I love it!
Marti Kennedy
My head has officially exploded. This is just amazing.
Veronica
Terrific idea. I found a space in my kitchen to do this. I was lucky enough to only have plaster and lathe to cut through. When it's completed I shall share the end results.
Sarah Kane
My boyfriend has yet another reason to think I'm insane now, because upon the final reveal I started squealing like a giddy school girl and clapping my hands π€£ it's just too good lol
Cee Fee
That was absolutely brilliant Christine. I loved every second of it.

Holy smokes Christine!!! This is soooo amazing!!! Itβs PERFECT in the stair well! I canβt believe how creepy the finish project was π π€
Lynnetta
I think this is my favorite project. It's bonkers and so extra and I love it!!
Brynn Carroll Art
Hello! For some reason I cant click the play button? Can someone give me a direct link? I am not sure if it is because of my VPN? Thanks! Forgot to mention, the only way I can access any videos is when they are posted on her home page where there is a list of links by month. Help?
Maxim Nikolaev Linkov
Christine, I was wondering- what happened to the video where you painted the room with the medallion? I cannot find it on Patreon
Tonya Moore
Happy Halloween Christine! Thank you!
Christine McConnell
This is a fantastic idea!! π€©π
Christie Aldrich
Truly amazing! This whole project is by far my favorite. Such a great creepy cool feature in a house. Love it! Thanks for all of your incredibly hard work to bring this to fruition.
Jennifer Urrea
Here is a cool website if you ever need to re-silver an antique mirror when the silver backing flakes off. https://angelgilding.com/knowledge-base/re-silvering-old-mirrors.html
Kiki Reef
That was incredible! Totally the kind of thing people talk about....and absolutely NEVER do! Except you, lady!!!!! You're such a smarty pants!!!!!!
Racheal Jones
Love the secret message you left for the future! Wonderful project - and storage is always a plus. As well as sneaky, Scooby Doo spying.
Starla Lester
This is my favorite (so far) of all your projects! Brilliant! Thank you for taking us on this journey.
Danee Paullin Kaplan
As my daughter used to say "Happy Havoleen".
Patricia Kelly
That makes sense. Horsehair was used to strengthen plaster from the 1800s all the way to the 1950s. It was generally used with lime based plaster.
Leslie Langenegger
Ok... let's add masonry to your list of many talents. I would definitely have been afraid that something wouldn't work out. Your projects always come out awesome. Great that you have extra storage too!
Anna Radaelli
The really cool thing is that no matter what you do, I always know it will be awesome and beyond the pale! You are the Goddess of ghoulish delights and visual nightmares! Happy Halloween everyone!
Roimata Ness
This is amazing! I love it.
Veronica Kjellberg
Stunning work! Beyond cool!
Cheri LaTorre
This is one of my favorite projects you have done. I've always loved movies that have the eyeballs in the painting effect and you actually put one in your house! It's just wonderful.
Marnie Kaler
Reason 8,621 why I need a huge victorian mansion
Deb McGrath
That was so amazing!!! I think I would have cried when I saw the bricks. I admire you for persevering and pushing through. The result is incredible. I just had one question. Doesn't the sink get in your way when you're trying to look through the portraits eyes? I'm trying to picture how you would do it. Regardless, I love this!
expandingnebula
so cool!!!
Tracey Warner
This was so much fun! Thanks!
Griss
I love this! These are the sort of videos I would love to see more of. Word working, spooky baking and sculpting weird and wonderful things. X
Hayley Bagley
Everything you do, I'm just beyond impressed at what you can accomplish! You've absolutely blown your original haunted painting out the water and I thought that one was already incredible!
Emy AUBIN
This is the best month ever!π§‘π
Noelle Nurmi
Really making my week with all the videos and the livestream was amazing! Hoping youβll have a soul ownership program in exchange for the new collab comingπ ready to sign mine away!
Skelly Bones
Now you just need to film your eyes, upload it to an iphone, stick it in the cabinet, and when you have Halloween parties it can be playing the eyes moving around and you can host and when people ask about the painting with the moving eyes you can be like 'what painting'
Tori
You are so talented!
Carlie Brashears
Secret tunnels!!
Deborah Wiltshire Whaley
This is spectacular! I love the painting and the hidden storage wall concept. Any plans to make the painting available for purchase? If so count me in!
Victoria Aubrey
Sensational!! As always <3
Sherrie Potgieter
Ooooooooo!!! I thought we might be digging a tunnel from the carriage house to the house!! But I'm super excited about the compartment too ππ
EdenValentine
Wow it's like Christmas
Aunt Debbie Halloween
Oh my gosh I love secret compartments and passageways! You are so much fun!
Martha Thursday
I can't believe the turnaround on these Christine! You must have actual magical powers! Thanks for such an amazing effort this spooky season! Happy Halloween!
