Tim Holtz Halloween Inspiration

Hello everyone! I have a last few Halloween projects to share with you before the 31st is past. I was inspired by one of Tim Holtz's recent Saturday Facebook Live tutorials, Halloween tips + tricks 2. He showed us how to make 'drippy candles' that light up too! Wow!! I knew I had to try them also. I created a little scene in one of his Display Domes. Check out the link above to his blog where you will find the video tutorial on how to make them for yourself. (Also learn how to make a glowing crystal ball!) Enjoy the photos and happy Halloween:

The little cat figurine I found at Michael's at the beginning of the season. It's perfect for this project!

Flick on the Tiny Lights switch and feel the glow!

Here's a better view without the glare of the glass dome. Scroll on for more details…

The tall pedestal is one of the finials from the Vignette Finial Set.

I hid the wire coming down from the top candle underneath a piece of gold ribbon. (After painting the wire and a stray light bulb over with grey paint to camoflauge it) I also tucked a Creepy Eye underneath as a detail for the viewer to 'discover'.

These candles really are a lot of fun to make and I have Christmas ideas for them too. I am also entering this project into the Country View October Challenge 'Make a Scene'.

Thanks for stopping by!

Capturing a Bit of Spring

Hello there, I have more projects to share with you! =) I really wanted to make sure I joined in The Funkie Junkie Boutique 'Little Things' Challenge so I got my act together and made a little spring scene to fit into one of the new Tim Holtz Display Dome.

It's a bit hard to photograph under the glass dome so I'm glad I didn't glue it on! Here are some peeks:

I've been experimenting with making spun cotton mushrooms. It is fun but I need some more practice. This one turned out pretty well though. =)

Thanks for stopping by. I hope the rest of your week is a good one and that you have a chance to relax and get crafty amidst all the disruption that is going on. Stay safe and healthy!
