Halloween Matchbox Heaven

I have sooooo much Halloween to share with you

but have been too busy the past couple of weeks

to take pictures and blog.

I will try to play catch up over the next 10 days.

Yes, 10 days until Halloween!

Can you believe it?

 

My partner Michele

of

Nook & Cranny,

loves nature themes so I incorporated

as many flowers, berries, leaves and feathers

a matchbox top could hold.

 I even managed to fit a

mini witches broom in there.

I truly enjoyed working with all the different elements

and beautiful fall colors.

This is the finished piece... 

 with lots of

Halloween treats tucked inside.

 

Michele created a special box

for me also.

She really captured my love of whimsy

with this glam skelly!

 The altered faux watch

in the foreground

is another cherished piece she

created for me.

 

I partnered with two Michelle's

this Halloween

and this is the sweetly spooky

box I received from

Michelle

of

Something Special.

 And the box I made for her.

I covered it with cheese cloth and gesso,

then layered it with the

stretchy spider web stuff that you

find in stores this time of year.

I took a plain white mask and covered it with

white mica flakes

then embellished away!
