October! Halloween! Spoolie Dolls!

Hello Friends!

OMG, It's October!
Where does the time go?
Well, at least I can say, in part,
some of it really did go into my Halloween crafting.

This is my sample for a spoolie doll swap I'm hosting in MAMA:

 

Made from a large wooden spool on the bottom, festooning,

tinsel trim, a rosette, a skewer to support my little bat girl,

assorted embellishments and a cocktail umbrella!

 

After looking through my partner's beautiful blog,

Art JOY Stuff,

I challenged myself to make her spoolie doll in whites, creams, and black:

 

I think the ripped netting behind the girl contributes a sinister look, don't you?
Hope she likes it!

In another swap I am in,
we are trading altered, embellished paper mache coffins:

Of course we are stuffing crafty goodies inside!  :)

This is a matchbox I made for my partner, JoAnne,
who is hosting a swap in her Vintage Dragonfly Matchbox group:

Again, crafty goodies inside!

One of the four handmade goodies we were to create

in addition to the matchbox is this little top hat box:

 

They are so fun to make, and, confidentially ;)

they are made from toilet paper rolls!! :D

 

I'm so behind on posting freebies

so here are some fun ones for you:

 

 

 

Don't these children look like they've just seen a ghost?  :D
