Halloween Carousel Class at the Castle!

Saturday's Halloween Carousel Class went hauntingly well!  Six wonderful women joined me at the CASTLE for a day of Halloween fun.  I don't often teach classes where everyone starts with the same materials, so it always amazes me that despite this, everyone ends up with something different.  If you look closely at these, you'll see many little differences in each carousel (including a couple of clowning skellies) that makes them unique and special!  BRAVO GIRLS!!!

Vintage Halloween Patent's...

Look at these!  The second one looks more like Mr. Potato-head then Halloween, but still wonderful!!!  LINK

Goblin Fruit's Delicious Autumn Feast!

Beneath the Crook

by Marlo Dianne

Beneath the crook, the bones will wait
Silver shook and minnowed bait
Bits and bites, earthen churned
Twisted rights, nibbles earned

A strand of lash
A split of skin
A soup of tears to mat it in

Leafy veins
And ferning eyes
All gather close to green the guise

Beneath the crook, the bones will creak
Rain sobbed and marrow leaked

No hand or flame
No salt or sign
They clatter close, baubles benign

Beneath the crook, the bones will kill
And rattle down to slurp their fill

Come Enjoy the Delicious offerings that GOBLIN FRUIT has prepared, and enjoy the thrills of being scared to the bone!  (photo link)  Thank you Midori for the reminder!

Emerging Illusions Fashion Fantasies!

Once a year in the spring, San Francisco plays host to The Emerging Illusions Alternative Fashion show.  Designed to showcase up and coming fashion and costume designers from the Punk, Goth and Industrial scenes, its a tour de force of creative inspiration!  I love the grab-bag feel of these outfits.  Bits and pieces of fabrics, zippers, lace, and trims, deconstructed and then reconstructed into costumes any fashion Magpie would adore!!!  Link

Halloween Carousel Class this Saturday!

This Saturday the 25th, I'll be teaching a Halloween Carousel at the CASTLE!  I think there is still a spot or two left, so call 510-204-9801 if you are interested!!!  For this carousel I decided to use 'iconic' halloween images and cut them out as silhouettes.  I used parchment paper and added rubber stamps for details.  They have the appearance of flying in a haunted forest...  The roof features a witches hat top and fun crepe paper finial!  I love how the whole piece turned out, let me know what you think!!!
