Happy Halloween!

Scary Totoro by Sachsen
It’s Halloween, the perfect time to share this wonderfully twisted Totoro remix by Sachsen. Read some horror manga, dress up as a Japanese ghost, learn about the Kyoto yokai train (even if it actually runs during summer), and watch something spooky, like Secret Investigation Record (link to automatic video). Then come back here, because I’ve got some fun posts lined up for the week!

PopBetty - Hayao Miyazaki Crafts Round-up
From left to right, row by row: Nausicaa Ohmu bento box by Anna the Red // knit Totoro baby cap by Hello Yarn {via} // Howl’s Moving Castle papercraft by Ben Millett // amazing Miyazaki-themed nail art by AttackedAstoria {via} // paperdoll sweater pattern Totoro hack by Marianne (UPDATE: tutorial) // Catbus cake by Coco Cake  // Catbus embroidery tutorial by Chelsea Bloxsom // Totoro crochet plushie instructions by heavens_hellcat {via}.

Right now, I’m putting finishing touches on the next Queen of Reversals recap (expect it tomorrow!). In the meantime, here’s a roundup of awesome crafts inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki. All relevant links & info should be in the caption above, save for two notes: one, that I’ve previously featured Anna the Red’s sleeping Totoro bento box; and two, as the original model is no longer available, here’s an alternate free papercraft model download for Howl’s Moving Castle.
