Halloween Crafts

Halloween Goodies

Hello All,
It is getting to be that time of year when we think of fall colors and black cats. I am getting into the "spirit" of Halloween and making a kinds of mischief in my art room.
I belong to a really fun group of creative people called Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group. We make art and participate in swaps that center around Marie. Swaps are so much fun because they make me try new things. Today I am showing you a few of the swap items I have been making. The first photos are of shoes that I have made.

I have a free video tutorial on the side bar to make shoes. I made this tut earlier in the year, it is the same template but a spring version of the shoe.
This is my Halloween version. I used all vintage materials, except for the papers.

It is hard to see, but there is a gorgeous black rose on the front of the shoe below. I received some of these roses from a Halloween swap last year and they were perfect for the front of this shoe. Can any one tell me how to get good clarity in a photo with dark items?

I loved making the bow out of cheese cloth. I love cheese cloth!

These are little doily bundles that I tucked into each shoe. They are filled with Halloween textile treats like fabric, vintage lace and ribbon.

These triangles are for a banner swap. I have never made a banner before, so I was excited to give it a go. I will send these off and receive back triangles from other swappers to make my banner from. I can't wait to see all the different creations.

These are some Marie Halloween ATCs I have been playing with . I coffee dyed the cards first and then stamped and added to them.

Thank you so much for coming by today.
I hope that your week is full of creative opportunities.
Hugs,

Terri
