Get
out your orange and black,
leave
the spider web on your front door,
encourage
the mushrooms on your lawn...
It
is time for Halloween once more!
I am not a huge fan of Halloween, like some of my bloggy friends (you know who you are!)
But I do feel a thrill when creating Halloween inspired art!
I loved going out to Trick or Treat as a child, even as a teenager. It
was so much fun to see everyone walking up and down the street dressed
as their favorite character.
I created a pair of *SpooKy* earrings for my friend and I thought I would share how easy it was.
I found this pack of skeletons at Archivers, sprayed them with walnut ink by Tsukinek, drilled a tiny hole in his head (he said he didn't mind...) and inserted a bronze jump ring.
On a bronze headpin I made a eyelet at one end, then slipped on a bead cap, orange crystal bead, a vintage rhinestone and then a Swarovsky green bicone crystal. I closed the end of the wire with another eyelet and then hooked the skeleton to the beads then the entire thingy to the earrings!
Presto Chango, Halloween Fun!
Happy Wednesday!
Hugs,
Terri

Great idea, must have a look for those skeletons! Valerie
these are beautifil! I am not a halloween fan either. But I think it is fun for children to disguise... some years ago it was something new and quite a hype in France, it was amusing to see the children having fun, and I bought loads of sweets...but the last two years the children just ring and ask for sweets without being disguised, that's not funny!! So I tell them they'd better get the right dresscode otherwise I will give them a treat!!!
But it is more an American tradition. In the Neterlands we have a similar tradition, Sint Maarten, in France we have Carnaval in some regions.
Ooh, they are perfect for Halloween!
I have a confession: we turn out the lights, grab a book and head to the back bedroom on Halloween. Mostly 'cuz giving candy to kids who are TOO old to trick or treat is just not right. The little ones go into town during the day to celebrate and have a parade, so it's safe and fun.
Like you, tho, I like the colors of the season but tend not to do spooky skeleton/bat/icky stuff!
Am I old????

Of course they didn't mind holes in their heads Terri. I mean, look how wonderful you made them look! Not every skeleton can look as good as yours - LOL!

Thanks for stopping by my blog Terri!
I'm with you, not a big fan of Halloween. Even when the kids were little, I'd rather have a party for them at home then run around door to door. It has a very pretty color scheme though! lol
Terri, they are so funny-I`m sure your friend will love them.
Here in DK, we don`t doo much to celebrate Halloween- but I learned from all my blogging friends- to decorate a bit :)
Hugs,Dorthe

Terri, I also am not a huge fan of Halloween, however, do like these earrings. Happy fall...Lu
Like you, Halloween is a day I tend to overlook...I like harvest decorations, and a porch with pumpkins is attractive & festive...but I don't do spooky. That being said,I like the earrings and know a few people who would appreciate them. Very clever Terri !
These are great Terri! I have those skelletons too. Thanks for the inspiration.
((HUGS)) Kris
Your spooky earrings are fabulous! Great idea Terri! Perfect for Halloween!
