Handcrafted Halloween
The days until Halloween are numbered. By the time I post this, Halloween will be TOMORROW! The kids are so excited. One of the things that I enjoy are all of the handcrafted ways to celebrate this holiday. Since we are all in the Halloween spirit by now, I just thought I’d share a few happily handmade finds.
First, sweet treats. These were enjoyed by my son’s Kindergarten class last week.

Next up are some incredible porcelain beads by an artist named Joan Miller. The detailed silver components that really make the difference are by Penny Michelle. What a great collaboration.

Here’s a cute sculptural lampwork glass bead by StudioMarcy: girl with a pumpkin hat. For when an ordinary witch’s hat just won’t do.

This set is called “Skull Closet” by PalmTreeQueen. What a silly bunch. Have you ever seen a skull with a rose garland on it’s head?

Wow…I found the sweetest paintings, this one is entitled “the gang in disguise”. You just have to visit Creative Thursday’s website for more. Now I’ll need to go back and get on Marisa’s mailing list…

Here’s a little something warm and woolly: a knit cuff by TickledPinkKnits.
More to come soon……
