31 Days of Halloween - LeighSBDesigns Halloween Hop 2025 Day 28

     

During October you will see many Halloween-y projects on my blog as I am joining in with





Find Leigh's main post here

This is my 12th year in succession of joining in with 31DOH!

As I am in Australia I am 18 hours earlier than Leigh at the moment!! 


I usually share a postcard  from Vintage Image Craft. 
Gorgeous illustration explaining a Halloween game from the past. Postcard circa 1910!


In September I altered a plastering float that I found in a charity shop.




However I found that because I had to hang it from the handle it didn't hang well and it annoyed me! 
I decided to repurpose it putting the decoration in one of my junk journals - it came off very easily!!


This time I decided to lie it on its face with the handle up. I then used this to attach a strip of torn corrugated card. I dripped ink along some of the corrugations and add a bit of distressing. The next step was to add fibre and the toadstools I had painted.


My next step was to add a collage of images from BeeArty (fussy cut from a paper), Gecko Galz, Conjurer of Dreams (all just printed and fussy cut), Smeared ink (no longer trading - coloured with markers and fussy cut) and Leigh (printed, coloured with markers and fussy cut):
Stack of Pumpkins
Grimm Reaper

In this picture I was just auditioning them... 


When I was happy with the positions I stuck them in palce and added the BOO - these were metal seat letters from an old stadium that I painted with neon orange.



This was the final result:


And here it is on my old sewing machine with some more ephemera.



I will add this to Leigh's linky!


 I always like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!!
