       UPDATE  11.08.2007 - Skullcrafts is undergoing a massive website overhaul and product restructuring. During this process we will only be able to offer Medium Basing Kits.

       NEWS  09.26.2007 - New lower cost "economy" international shipping rates have been applied as an option to those over seas. New "FREE" shipping has been included for standard USA shipping on all orders of $150.00 or more. Check out the updated Shipping & Handling tables. Multi-colored Leaf Litter Packs are now back in stock (for a limited time), although they are now being called Multi-colored Leaf Scatter Packs.
       NEWS  09.24.2007 - I'm currently out of stock for the Multi-colored Leaf Litter Packs. I'm in the process of creating more stock, however they will have to be for a limited time as the seasons are changing and product availability is scarce. Also note that there has been a price increase for the Medium Basing Kit and the Large Basing Kit ($5.00 and $10.00 respectively). I am no longer able to keep the lower prices due to time constraints, shipping costs, packaging, and numerous other factors. On the flip side, the Small Basing Kit price remains as it was. One final news worthy note: Shipping & Handling have increased (slightly) for USA domestic only.
       UPDATE  08.12.2007 - Updated tables, colors, and hyperlinks for nearly the entire website (a few sections are still being worked on). Added custom Skullcrafts graphics for the site. Added Multi-colored Faery Dust, Multi-colored Lichen, and Multi-colored Raffia Packs to the Online Store.

       NEWS  07.02.2007 - There have been several delays in getting the basing kits back in the online store. I apologize for this, I am diligently working on making them available as soon as possible. The leaf litter, hobby sand, and raffia multi-color packs are also being added as soon as possible. Final production and packaging is being done as I type this.

       NEWS  06.20.2007 - New feature of the Skullcrafts forums called Skullcrafts Contest: Arts & Crafts which gives forum members a chance to enter their projects to win free products. The contest is held twice a year, once in January and once in July. All free products awarded are free. Free to forum members, free shipping...yes, it's all on me. Also in the Skullcrafts news, we have brand new dyes and are testing them out on certain products to see how they endure and take punishments. We are hard at work to bring you the best types of products we are able to.

       UPDATE  05.12.2007 - Upgraded entire look of website. Removed "Basing Kits" product line temporarily. Added new links. Added "light on" mouseovers to links. All links are now white with a purple glow highlight. Removed old miniature bases and replaced them with new and improved products. Removed old pictures except for the miniature bases, those will be updated soon. Work is being done to improve the website in it's entirety, please be patient as it evolves.

       NEWS  02.16.2007 - Skullcrafts website is now up and live. I have plans to add an online store in less than a month. Hopefully I have everything prepared and ready to go. Products should include; miniature bases, basing kits, and basing supplies. Hopefully I can add a new forum to this website, the old forums just won't cut it for what I want.

       NEWS  10.08.2006 - Finally got around to making a MySpace account. You can check it out HERE. Also have begun to make progress on the website. I have totally redone everything here. No side navigation, no dead links, no crooked tables, no mistakes...so far. I keep checking if the name Skullcrafts is taken for a .com address and so far so good. By next year, I should be ready to go live with the website and the products I hope to create.

       NEWS  09.02.2006 - Been a long time since I updated the website. Have been working on making this website into something that I can share with other crafters. I'd love to add a store where I can sell some of the things I make. Anyway, that's a long way off.

       NEWS  06.25.2006 - Added a new feature to the message boards called Friday Night Crafts. I'm excited to see what some of us crafters can achieve on a bi-weekly basis. Also updated the look of the message boards to gray and black. The blues were just too much for the eyes.

       NEWS  01.29.2006 - Well after an amazing Christmas, I've had a wonderful birthday. John & Tracie got me some Hirst Arts molds and Dad got me some plaster. I've been casting bricks like there's no tomorrow! I think I may have a new addiction, in fact, I'm sure of it. I need more molds!!!...who knows, I may actually be able to sell some of this stuff to others on the website after I rebuild it. Kind of plain jane right now.

       NEWS  10.18.05 - Lost all information on the website due to my computer crashing. It took me several hours just to get back to square one on here. I did, however, have time to redesign the layout of the website look. I wanted more purple, so all the bar seperators and links are now purple...er...lavander...whatever.

       NEWS  10.16.2005 - Began work on small diorama. Cut out foam and glued several hill shapes down. Started O'Brien Message Boards because I have no host at the moment and wanted a place for all of us to chat. Sign up and check it out! Did more work on this modest website, making tables and charts and what not.

       NEWS  04.19.04 - I have discovered something very interesting. A little website called Hirst Arts. They sell molds of miniature bricks and decorative items. I am seriously thinking of investing in these molds in order to build some of the dioramas I've been wanting to. I guess they use plaster of paris and pour it into these molds and viola! instant miniature building bricks. I guess they are used sort of like Lego blocks???
