Got Frost On Your Pumpkin?

A special "Thanks you" to my friend Tracey of Glitterbug Studios for making me this new awesome Halloween banner! Isn't it cool?

Brrrrr, it may possibly frost this weekend here in Northwestern, Pa! The weather in this area around Halloween is a total crap-shoot. The big joke is that you know you're a Western Pennsylvanian if you buy your Halloween costume 2 sizes too big so that you can get your winter coat on underneath it! That saying inspired me to make this 3 by 5 inch collage. The witch is wearing her winter coat because it gets pretty chilly zooming around on a broom. The background was digitally created with elements from Tangie Baxter and the rest of the collage was handcut and glued from my bits and pieces from my own collection. of goodies.


The Autumn Key Pendant winner is Jill at Bucks County Folk Art. Congrats Jill!

Saturday Quilt Show

My mum and I went to a little quilt show that we've attended for many years now together. The collection is small, but there were some beautiful quilts. This one is my favorite, I believe it was called Seaside Wheel. Just check out those colors! I love blue and brown together.

I thought this little snow guy was so cute!

Here he is in the quilt.

How about this one? All black and white and red all over. It kind of makes my eyes go all crazy!

I purchased this cabinet card last week at the antique show.

I copied the card and made this little 5 by 7 Halloween collage tonight.

She doesn't need a broom, she's got her own wings.

Halloween Buddies!

Even though Snooks the Kitty took all of the chocolate kisses, and left only the Jolly Ranchers for the little Devil Darla, she didn't mind because they were buddies! This 8 by 10 inch canvas is a mixed media piece consisting of painting, collage of decorative papers and rubber stamping. It's finished on all sides and doesn't even need to be framed! You can purchase it at All Hallow's Evening.

Percy and Percilla

I realize that it is the middle of summer but I got this urge to make a few Halloweenie things......

These pennants are 8 X 6 X 6 and will be soldered in between 2 sheets of glass. I'm going to patina the silver solder black and add a ribbon hanger with a few charms hanging off of it.

I've made 4 pennants over the past week and will share them over the next few days. The pennants are 2 sided. This is the first one I made, I call it "Percy and Percilla". The little boy is Percy the pumpkin on the back of the pennant is Percilla.

The little boy is a copy of a vintage photo. I cut a bat out of black card stock and painted on the eyes. The boy's wings and hat are wallpaper as well as the paisley on the left. Background paper is called "rustic ornate" from The Paper Studio company. I used paper punches (circles and flower) to chooch it up a bit. Don't you just love that intense/placid expression on the kid's face?!?!?!This is the back of the pennant. Everything is hand cut with scissors. I painted the eyes on and cut out tiny stars with the Sissix machine. I like the aqua and orange color combo. I'm thinking about using it in another collage pennant.
