November 1st

November 1st, came and went.  I truly meant to post this yesterday but time got away from me!  Jill, my daughter has been waiting on pins and needles for my next post so here it goes.....

I had been wanting to create a halloween tree with various ornaments for some time.  This tree did not turn out exactly how I wanted it to but I am posting it anyway....I also could not get the pictures just right which was driving me crazy!!!   I created the ornaments out of Sculpey clay.  Rolled the clay out, i placed a tea towel over it and rolled again to give the clay texture.   The ornaments were cut with cookie cutters I already had on hand , then baked according to directions on package.  I used stamp pads and a paper towel to put color on the ornaments,  sprayed them with a matte protective finish, then used raffia to make a hanger. 

I placed the ornaments on twigs that I spray painted black and placed in a halloween box.  Would have preferred a bucket but it was short notice.
