There’s no information that is without worth, especially when you’re someone like me. I’ve been around just long enough to find out that every little scrap of information is of use, every specimen capable of sharing new secrets. When you leanr enough, you begin finding that everything is connected, and that the information you need may come from the most unexpected of places.

So, I have devoted my life to study… study of both science and the arcane. Somewhere out there, are my answers. Somewhere are my solutions. And these creatures, these lycanthropes… may hold a piece of the puzzle. I will admit, most of this intriguing case I did not collect myself. I came upon a large portion of the collection already gathered up by the anonymous author of the leather journal detailing one woman’s fascination with, and eventual infection of Lycanthropy. Other parts I procured through purchase, barter, or less civilized means. And some I produced myself, such as the Lycanthropic Suppressant, Repellant, and Pheromone.

Some day I will discover where the information garnered from this piece of the puzzle fits into the grand scheme of things… and I will find how this information will be of use to me. And to those dear to me.

I'll probably add to this later today... four in the morning is not a smart time to be posting, but anyway, here's the project I've been working on: My How to be a Werewolf Kit!

Those of you who had seen the “From the Desk of Seamus Theiss” Project probably saw this coming…

You see, I’ve been wanting to have a “How to become a werewolf” kit ever since I was a little kid… and now I’ve made one! Sure, amny, many of the items are fake (Like the blood, for instance, or wolf brain) But it’s been a long time in the works, really. In fact, many of the concepts, bits and pieces I’ve had for years… (some of it had been kept in the part of the prop-apothecary I have in my bedroom. Weird, I know). But anyway… I grew Fennel specifically for its ties to the benandanti and for projects like this. I made my own scented oils, and I’d saved odd bones and such just to use in this. I collected little bottles and filled them with dirt, or water, or fake blood… but the truth is it didn’t really kick off until I found the perfect case to build this into. Once I had something to actually build it in, I started up on more complex things, making salves, mummified werewolf parts, studies… and eventually got the whole thing assembled and set for display. I think it ended up kinf of Sleepy Hollow/Hellboyish... and while I didn’t make everything from scratch (I can’t blow glass after all) nothing here is left unaltered –pretty much everything is modified, even if only slightly. However, if you want to know what prop items are in it…
