Let's Make Some Noise


A Spooky Witch Clicker
Amazing graphics

Blow your horn!

Shake it up!
A Ratchet

Another Clicker
A Banger and Owl Click

Most of these amazing tin litho noisemakers are from the 1950's. Many are made my US Metal and were made in the USA. I think it would be great if these were once again manufactured. I think the clicker style would be perfect for the tricker treaters!

Welcome Fall

Hi friends it's officially Fall! I have been a busy gal and just wanted to pop in and say hello. Wishing you all a joyful and magical Autumn! I painted these real acorns like jol's and was thinking is it ok to start pulling out the spooky stuff?

Vintage Inspired Pumpkin Head

I made this guy and he looks great the top of my spooky tree. Yes Halloween is slowly taking over my house. I made him with a paper disk covered in paper made and then paper clay. Then secured him to an old ribbon container. The festoon garland was a perfect fit where the ribbon once was. The back has spooky sayings on aged paper. He was somewhat vintage inspired. I have another one to finish maybe he will be a white pumpkin.
I am still having some online issues but I check in as often as I can. Wishing all a wonderful rest of the week!

Meet Jack


I've been told I'm unconventional. I take that as a compliment why be normal. So I've been making spring bunnies lately. I was missing Halloween. So what do you get when you cross the Easter Bunny with a Jack O' Lantern. You get Jack Rabbit! Jack is here if you'd like to see more of him.

Happy Friday!


I love the look of a classic Jack O' Lantern. I found my candy molds and made this JOL ornament. It's amazing what I find when I'm cleaning out the basement. I hope to start making a studio down there. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Hungry Candy Corn Man!


I belong to SEHA the Society of Eclectic Halloween Artist on Ebay. Our August Challenge was Candy Corn. Here's my take on a Candy Corn Man. Although I do like making cute smiles and happy faces we all have a darker side. I thought my version was funny but to my 3 year old this Candy Corn Man is disturbing! So for now this is as dark as I can get.
Candy Corn Man and little Jacks are here if you'd like to more of them.

SEHA is also having an August Giveaway click on the SEHA Facebook link on the right for more info!

Jack O' Lantern minis


Something new from me. I've made some mini Jack O' Lantern spool boo's. They were fun to make so I'm making sets of these. Got some Witches and Black Cats started too. These JOL's will be part of a SEHA giveaway check out our FB page for more info!
Now off to paint I've got a Scarecrow ornament I've got to finish! Have a bootiful day all!

Just some Wips


I've been working on lots of Halloween Ornaments trying to get ahead. I've got some: cats, scarecrows, skeleton keys, leaves, a harvest moon. The Jol's are from chocolate molds. It's amazing what you find when you start cleaning out the basement! The weathers been wonderful here and outside is where I'd rather be. It's hard to focus when the garden is calling.
My friend Wendy is having a dark and lovely giveaway at her blog. You must go see you won't be disappointed! I'm off to water the pumpkins so have a delightful day everyone!

Pumpkin Man & Cat Bucket


I think he may need eyebrows and teeth. I'd love any input. I'm finishing up some eggs and bunnies too. Wishing everyone a wonderful day. More snow here today and I know some of you are getting another boat load today. Stay safe and warm.

Missing Halloween


Well, I'm knee deep in candy canes and glitter but I haven't forgotten about Halloween. This is the very last Jack O Lantern left in our yard. Where did the others go? I'm not sure but I have been told about Big Foot sightings in the area. As you can see something took his lid and has been nibbling on his face. Poor Jack I'm sure it's only a matter of time until he disappears also.

A Few Halloween Favorites





The first pic. is of a vintage plastic pumpkin. I know they made Gurley Candles like this. We used to have Gurley Halloween Candles. If I smelled one it would bring back some strong memories. I'll have to check for some on ebay.

The next pic. is some favorite die-cuts they are not vintage. They are Beistle reprints of vintage Halloween. I have these hanging all over. The witches do tend to scare the kids.

The last shot is some older primitive wood do dads I've made. They are scarp wood painted up silly.

Have a fantastic Monday everyone!

New WIP's Owl, Witch and JOL


Here's what I've been working on. The Witch is taking longer than I thought. Her hair soaks up paint like you wouldn't believe. I was going to mount her on a spindle but her head is too big. The Jol box is almost done and I hope to post his happiness on ebay later today. Lastly, I'm happy with the way Mr. Owl is coming along. He's about 7 1/2 inches high. He's holding two Jol buckets one grumpy and one happy. I love Owls! If he doesn't find a Happy Halloween home I've got the perfect place for him! Have a Spooky Day everyone! :) Becca
