Halloween Count Down

Halloween Countdowns at WiddlyTinks.com

Yes, it is count down to Halloween and I am trying to get some projects done before October.


I download a great skull from Graphic Fairy  where you can get images for free.

On the right is what it looked like before I changed a few things.

I put it on Photoshop and erased the letters, cleaned it up a bit and made it to a black and white. Then I was going to print a small picture of it out to use as a projects but mistakes are great! I actually printed it out on a 8x10 card stock. Well I loved it so much I decided to use charcoal and shade it.

Here is the outcome of a mistake.



 Not bad for a mistake!!!

Mistakes are great....work with them and see what you can create.


 Happy crafting!!!

Halloween cat

A few people have asked how I made this picture. They feel it and can 't figure what it is made from because it is so bendable like leather. So here is the receipt: The secret is old paper and Golden Soft Gel Medium. I took a very old page from a torn up book and I put soft gel the back side to protect paper. I painted the front side with acrylics and to make it a little more layered I painted the cat on some acrylic paper then cute it out and used soft gel to glue it on. After I painted the front I also put soft gel on the front side to protect it and antiqued the sides with ink. Then I punched holes in the top and hung wire and ribbons from it.  I am planing to make more and sell them in a garage sell coming up soon since I have had such a great response on them. Maybe I will do some witches next! Happy crafting!

Crafting, crafting...things I made for Halloween

Happy Labor day to everyone.  School has started, fall is just around the corner and crafting is in the air. Every year I procrastinate on getting some decorations made BEFORE the holidays so this year I started before August had ended. Yeah for me!!! This is probably the first time in history I have done this and I am determine to stay on this roll. Here are just a few things I have finished so far!!!
