I love gloriously "foul" weather. It's days like this I get out
my humble supplies, snippets of scraps,
and of course lots of glitter to re-create ornaments of a gone-by
era.
These are soo simple and NO-sew. Just simple shapes cut from
batting , with a window cut in the middle for the bits of scrap to show
through, and cut-up cereal boxes sandwiched in the middle for shape and
durability.
The Only warning...I may be having a little bit of glitter served with supper tonight.....Ok!!make that Alot of glitter! ;-)

Olde St. Nick Hanging treat Container a.k.a. "Cone-Head"
I found a stash of heavy cardboard thread cones, at first, I didn't know what I would do with them, I just knew I had to have them! lol..
and these hanging treat cones are what I came up with..because of my nutty sense of humor, I've been calling them "Cone-Heads"
(see previous posts to see others I've made for Halloween)..and it sort of stuck..This is the first "Cone-head" of the Christmas Season. ;-)

Walking In A Winter-Wonderland
Halloween isn't here.. Yet, creating for winter and the Christmas season is now in full-swing here in my household.
This paper-mache' assemblage was just finished today, It's a candy box or maybe an extra-fancy gift box. The snowman and snow was sculpted right onto the box lid, and everything else is permanently attached..Although, I think the little altered paper-clay deer needs a little touch-up and something else (??) ...and maybe some little birds in the tree..(??)..just a thought..
I really can keep going with these thing..but I don't think there's much
more room on this little 6 inch box..;-)

The Unveil...A Halloween Tree Of My Very Own
And Here it is!!..
the thrifted 2 dollar Christmas tree from Good-Will, painted black for Halloween.
I'm really so excited!!!..I've always wanted one, and budgets being what they are, a purchase wasn't possible..So I put all else aside, and set out to make my own.. (something I rarely do.).
I had been working on it in between my work schedule for the last couple months, making all the ornaments myself.
I still have a few more ornaments to finish, but
I couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out.
I now have something I'll look forward to adding to every year.;-)

Another Tassel Doll..Pumpkin Halloween Ball Gal
This is my latest ornament for my Halloween tree..
I didn't have much time, as today is my only day off this
week, so I didn't go into as much detail as the tassel doll we
Learned in the Hive Class from Patrick of Cre8tor's Touch.
The tassel was purchased at my local antique shop for
only a dollar, and it just said pumpkin gal to me!..lol..
So, I just sculpted a simple head and shoulder plate,
and wrapped a single chenille stem around the neck post
to extend for both arms..then the head and arms were glued
right into the center hole of the tassel. Then I added legs to the underside bell of the tassel... added leafy bits for
hands, more trims and cut-outs for embellishments. and pine petals for her shoes.
I think she turned out right cute! ;-)..and I thank Patrick of Creator's Touch again for the original idea..I've been having lots of fun with these.

The "Ayes" Have It!....
Mache Kitsch'N Mistake turned into "Vlad", the blood sucking spider.
Originally uploaded by Kitsch N Sink Studio
Kitsch'N Sink mistakes are not too horribly bad..
This was meant to be a Finial Christmas ornament..but
whoops..burnt it to a fritter while It was drying..
So I scrapped the original plan, and here we have
"Vlad", the blood sucking spider instead..lol..Even with all the paint,
He still smells like burnt marshmallows!..;-D
Oh and a final note to Hive readers..I cannot express my appreciation
for all the comments..I really enjoy reading them..However..Come to find out..it's my 10 yr old comp. that is preventing me from responding!!..Seems it's not compatible with the message board...My son tested my page on his..so I know it's definitely time for a new one..so please bear w/ me! ;-)

Sinatra inspired "Blue Moon" ornament
Just wanted to share what I finished today..
I know the song has been around a long time before
Sinatra recorded it..I just love his version best!..lol.
this ornament will be a gift for my Aunt and Uncle who are
celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary..
..Blue Moon...
Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
