I got a little craft happy today

Post by Hallowed Eve » Wed Aug 31, 2011 7:08 pm

Visited my local hobby lobby for supplies, and came home and made this wreath. It's my first! I even painted the jack o'lantern. This won't be on the front door for a while, but I got my fix. :D

Very cool wreath, Hallowed Eve! Well done. :)

Very good Hallowed Eve, I like it! :)

By the way I like the title. I remember in Scream 2 Mrs. Loomis saying "I got a little knife happy" when talking about Randy's death. :lol:

I love the bright orange color you used for the base.

Is that ribbon or gloss paint?

I confess that I collect craft supplies but rarely use them. My projects end up looking like something made by, oh let's say, Sarah Palin's youngest child...

I am jealous of people who can make things that wouldn't be cause for alarm if displayed out doors.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

I hate to admit it, but the only art I can do is photography. I couldn't make a nice pice of craftmanship like that on my best day.

Again, you did a nice job.

Thanks y'all! Andy- it's wide satin ribbon wrapped around a wreath form. I left spaces open as I was wrapping it around for the black gingham, then wrapped the polka dot on top of all that. My shoulders are hating me today. :lol:

We bought our son a craft set for his birthday back in May. We're gunna start making some Halloween things with him soon. My wife's quite creative so i'm sure she has a few ideas in mind! :)
