No, it isn't my photography this time..at least not all of it!  This is my version of the movie "Sleepy Hollow".   The sentiment and witch stamp are distorted due to the background ( a recycled box insert with a blue sky ) was very, very slick!  I was going to start over and thought the more that I looked at it that it was fitting so I even restamped the sentiment so it is red with black over it.  The ghost and pumpkin I tried for fierce but maybe missed the boat on that but they are ceramic pieces from my mom's former shop.  The headless horseman is a purple skelly with a red cape made of polymer clay and embellished with some glitter glue and chalk.  The horse ....yes he is  made of polymer clay from a faux my little pony mold I made....I know grounds to throw me out and disqualify me but I am honest at least?..The little bats on the wire were chewed off a lovely mummy figure that I bought this month by one of my grandpups.  But at least I saved him and the bats...lost an eye though..sigh!  Layered some burlap, deco mesh, and corrugated cardstock to make the bridge and there he is!  Come on, just pretend he is scary!  Tomorrow will be a yard sale of all the projects that I have left but decided to replace during the month and maybe some decorations?  Off you go to Susan and remember to pretend like I scared you silly!
Happy Crafting and see ya for the grand finale tomorrow!!


I will also be posting this for Oh, The Horror Challenge- October 2014 at Smeared and Smudged.

EEEK! I'm totally terrified! LOL Well, I do gotta say that that little pony's red eye does creep me out. Fun scene! Very creative and great recycling. xxD

Ah yes, the recyling of chewed items, I know it well.
the things some people might choose to toss!
Your blurred sentiment does work well. A sence of danger and action. Now I want more time to play with clay.

    My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
