It’s a dark and stormy night in Grimsley Village, the kind of night Dr. Deranged has been waiting for. Tonight he will be taking advantage of the lighting storm to further his work on animating a giant brain.
With help from his mechanical minions, Dr. Deranged hopes to see the culmination of his diabolical plans.
Inside all preparations have been made. The brain is resting on the platform being fed by tubes of fluid. The electrodes are in place leading up to the lightning collector installed on the roof.
In a fevered frenzy, Dr. Deranged works to finish the construction of his electrical plasma machines which he hopes will harness enough energy to animate the brain. His work is cutting edge and dangerous. If things don't work out, no doubt Cadaver and Digger will be the first on the scene.
The Brain-O-Scope is his own design and has been instrumental in his understanding of the brain.
It’s that time of the year when I get my Halloween groove on and bring you new spooky projects. The first one of the season is a new addition to last year’s Halloween Village, a Mad Scientist Laboratory.
It’s sort of a mix of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory, meets old 50s and 60s Science Fiction movies with a touch of steampunk.
On a side note, the previous year’s Halloween project tutorials and image sets never go away. Also, Alpha Stamps still carries many of the products I used on the older projects.
Alpha Stamps is carrying all of the cool products I used for the Mad Scientist Laboratory, with the exception of a few items from my stash and some unusual building materials such as;
Ping pong balls, straws, plastic curtain rings, and an ICEE drink lid.
NEW COLLAGE SHEETS & DIGITAL IMAGE SETS
Specific to the laboratory project is a two sheet Mad Scientist Laboratory collage sheet set. In addition, there is a companion digital image set which contains all the images in the collage sheet set plus many more.
I’ve also cooked some images that have a broader use. There is the Old Open Books, Letters, Music & Parchment Collage Sheet and the Old Books, Parchments & Letters Digital Image Set.
This set includes 73 images. All of the images from the Mad Scientist Laboratory Collage Sheet set are included plus lab machines, metal panels, plasma rods, switches, control panels and more.
All of the images in the set can be re-sized for your project as they are high resolution (300dpi) PNG formatted images.
This collage sheet contains a variety of paper related images. There are several open books, some blank and some with writing. You’ll also find letters, paper with writing, sheet music, and some parchment paper.
This digital set contains 67 book and paper related images that would be useful for various themed projects. Included are:
21 - Book covers
12 - Book sets
15 - Open books
4 – Parchment sheets
11 -Paper with writing and writing collages
4- Sheets of Music
OLD BOTTLES HALF COLLAGE SHEET

I have been thinking of mad scientists lately. This project is, as always, MAGNIFICENTLY AMAZING!! My own brain seems to expand every time I look at your work...hopefully Dr. Deranged won't take an interest in it, lol
This is so amazing and you have created another masterpiece. I always look forward to your creations, especially around Halloween. Thank you!
Laura, honey, I'm beginning to worry about you, LOL!

Frightfully wonderful! What terrific details and very elaborate. Inspirational.
Amazing work and Wow....you have the most animated imagination ever. Inspiring and so clever...so very clever! Love your work Laura! Goul-a-liscious! :)
I cannot believe this scene - it is amazing, once again. The whole story is intriguing and then the details. Thank you so much for sharing this. I need to do some ordering.
You have outdone yourself this time--and that is nearly impossible to do. I want to be you when I grow up!
extraordinary! I love this!!!!
This is such a fun, creative project! I especially love the steampunk creatures, and how you worked out all the lighting details. A great, spooky addition to Grimsley village.
I just love this so much!! I am down to the last thing of making the brain platforms. If I have time and find some parts I might make a minion or two. Thanks so much for the great tutorial. As soon as I am finished I will send you some pictures!
hugs Karen
