Mr. Percy always gives me "the look" whenever I want to decorate for Halloween... in early September. But it's one of my #1 favorite days of the year, so I decided I'd wait a few weeks to get him eased in to it.
I went garage sale shopping Saturday, and found some great little Halloween decor finds! These homemade wooden stakes are so kitschy! I decided to buy them, and then upcycle them by painting them myself. We have an owl, a crescent moon, a skull and a bat. Props to the maker who spent time cutting these out, but didn't do quite as well on the painting skills.
Here is what I did to them:
I haven't finished the crescent moon yet, still sketching.

The Witch - a Treasury
Bird Skull on 18" Chain, by mrd64
I love making beautiful treasuries, and this one: The Witch is no exception. I've already started thinking and planning for halloween, as I'm sure a lot of you are, and although the witch is categorically the most popular costume, I thought I'd look around etsy to maybe bring up the style a notch or two.
