Halloween Adventure!

Yahoo! I love HALLOWEEN!
Ms Vanessa Valenciahttp://afancifultwist.typepad.com/a_fanciful_twist/2009/08/a-hauntingly-magical-celebration-revealed.html is hosting a Halloween Celebration Oct 17!
I am so excited to be apart of it!
I have many ideas still haunting my head from
years past! The lovely laser stenciled haunted haus from a local artist waiting be be on a spooky garland. The MARTHA Stewart's mini pumpkin chandelier from ages ago.
One of those hollowed out white pumpkins with spookiness inside.
Not too scary I like the whimsy side more especially with my little ones. who wants to be creeped out. Definitely by your parents! I can't even take them into MICHEAL'S craft store now! Well I'll say I stopped last month due to the gruesome animated creatures. NOT one of my children likes it. I have to go in and avoid 1/2 the store or just go with out them(very very rare). Oh I digress on to the what I have haunting me creatively!
Many new little captured witchies. I made one for the 1st Sinister Sweet swap and then for the blog. These are a pair I had on see tutorial I did last year for Kari Ranstrom ArtsyMamahttp://www.artsymama.blogspot.com/ here on flickrhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/52895107@N00/sets/72157607793003603/ Kari has a lovely BLOG YEAR OF COLOR just for all of us artist learning from other FABULOUS ARTISANS. She is hosting this years Sinister Sweet swap therehttp://artsymama.blogspot.com/2009/08/its-back.html.
I also will love making these sweeties.
I made them for an old group of mine ArtErratica hosted by Melissa McCobb-Hubblle http://thegardenofpinkshadows.typepad.com/my_weblog/Melissa is a Fabulous artist who is a contributor to Sommerset as well as for the new look of
