My mother and I went to Tucson to do some early Halloween shopping. I spent my Halloween allowance for the year in one day!
Despite that, I decided to get more into the spirit and make some more jewelry inspired by my favorite holiday!
I etched the copper for these earrings months and months ago and forgot about it until looking for something in my scrap copper drawer.
These were etched using salt water and a battery! Pretty cool huh? Etched onto the copper is a little spider web design. I thought it appropriate for Halloween. I want to learn how to preserve spider webs under glass and found several tutorials online. I just need the time and energy to do it.
I just adore these bat earrings. Like the bat necklace I made, they are taken from the weather vane design at the Haunted Mansion in DisneyWorld. I might be tempted to wear these on my trip if someone does not purchase them before then.
How I love eyeballs! This is a taxidermy eye. I bezel set it onto this ring along with some onyx stones I had laying around. I love this ring! It so creepy! I imagine it on the finger of a female vampire.
All these pieces can be found on my etsy shop by clicking here.
My camera battery is still MIA...darn cats...and my other digital cameras do not have a video mode with sound. So until the new battery arrives, or my cats decide to stop being so mischievous, I won't be able to do my sawing lesson.:( grrrrrrrrrr. Anyone want 6 cats? Free to a good home!
So does anyone really read this blog???
I went to Michaels last week-end and couldn't believe how wonderful their Halloween 'goodies' are.
ReplyDeleteSince the budget didn't allow...I just got my supplies...wishing I could afford some spooky goodness...but...maybe next year.
