W.I.T.C.H.

I found this old potato grater (that is what I call it) at Warrenton last weekend. At first glance, many people would see it as a potato grater. I saw it as an awesome surface for one of my Halloween assemblages.

The Black Hat Society

Long before there was ever a Red Hat Society, the BLACK hat society witches ladies were getting together to have their "girl" time.

I created this assemblage in a big clock that I picked up while shopping at Warrenton last weekend. It is complete with spider webs, a clock, an icky spider, and even a little mouse if you look real close. I took it to my booth at Third Coast where I have lots of cool Halloween items.

A very vintage Halloween

Jenna of JennasBeachRetreat put my cabinet card in her vintage treasury on Etsy. Her shop is loaded with wonderful shabby chic beach items.

Cheezburger award

This is the funniest award I believe I have ever received. I received the Cheez Burger award because of the way Etsy abbreviates the Item Titles. Hilary spotted this on Etsy and couldn't stop laughing. Little did I know that I was offering Captured Witch Ass!

Witch Cabinet Card tags

I just came back in from my sweatshop (studio) where I made these Halloween tags. Adobe Photoshop allowed me to digitally alter these cabinet card images. My son will be so proud of me. I did these without his help. Photoshop is so complicated. As long as I can travel the same paths, I don't usually get lost. I've even learned to use overlays and effects.

Aunt Trudie

It was always a bit creepy going to Aunt Trudie's house, but Mom insisted. Truth be told, I think she was afraid to refuse Aunt Trudie's invitation.

You never knew what you would discover at her house either. There was always some "super-weird" thing happening over there. I'm just so glad that we never had to spend the night . . .

HaLLoWeen graveyard

She is in her element and loves the cemetery at night - especially on a full moon.

This is my 2008 version of this particular shadowbox and I am very pleased with the way it came out. This lovely lady is actually a distant cousin of mine. I hope she doesn't mind that I have made a witch out of her!

Witches, witches everywhere

I don't know if the hurricane stirred them out of hiding, or if it is just the time of year when little witches start coming around, but for about the last week, I've started catching these little darlings. They've even started getting into the house.

I heard a noise in my kitchen and found this witch rummaging through my cupboards. Since I was afraid that she might bite me, I put on my oven mitt and grabbed her. Let me tell you, it was a good thing I thought of using the mitt; she fought, bit, and screamed like a banshee. I just wish I had thought of wearing earplugs too! I put her in a pint-size jar and drilled holes in the lid to keep her comfortable.
