Tree and Pumpkin Pets

I made a tree like I saw in Laura's carnival out of black pipe cleaners wound all together in the shape of limbs. I added a skeleton and pumpkin and decorations.

 This is the Pumpkin Pets cart I cut out different pumpkins from Laura's collage sheets and put them on the cart by putting the double stick foam tape on the back to give the pumpkins a ledge to glue it on.

The treat cart

This is the treat cart. My treats are just a little different. Instead of heebee jeebees I have beads that look like food. I also have bats on sticks instead of spider on sticks. I have two colors of cotton candy. My cart wheels are wooden ones I inked.

 I am making the Halloween Carnival (at least some of the pieces) from the tutorial by Laura Carson. She is also having a challenge to make your piece not in her carnival. I have made the Spooky Time Puppet theater. I had the graphics on file on my computer except for the ones I got from Laura's collage sheet which included the lanterns. the scary pumkin on the beanch and the scardy cat saying on the white banner. I hope top take pictures today of othere pieces I have made and then take a picture of the carnival set up.

I think I have forgotten how to blog!

 This is a pendant I made for a swap. It is made from a heart base of watch, button, earrings and a decorative hairclip.

These are three ATC's I made to trade. They have the theme of sewing.

 This is a doll I made from fabrics in my quilt guild's opportunity quilt. It will be given to the person who sells the most tickets. The theme of the quilt and also our next event is French Country. Here is the link to the guild page with a picture of the opportunity quilt.

The following three pictures are Marie Antoinnette projects I made for the Art Doll Studio in CDA.  The first is Marie jumping out of a cake! With laces and gold and fans and roses and bling. It is on a 9" x 13"canvas.

 The second one is a small picture of marie with bling and shoes, and a crown and some butterflies.

The third one is a 3-d picture of Marie in her bedroom.

 This is a Cone Cat I made for a swap. It was from a free pattern from Cart Before the Horse.

 Here is an item I made for a personal swap. It is the Doodah bird from the Cindee Moyer pattern. I hope my parter like it!

This is the quilt so far I made from the swap house blocks I received in a swap with one of my Yahoo groups. I made the extra blocks that aren't houses. I plane for shashing the same around the edge and then maybe a wonky flying geese border.

My 2013 Hoffman Challenge Doll

Here is this year's Hoffman Challenge doll. I have mailed her off. The piece is called Wonderland. Alice is made from Judi Ward's free Bluette mannequin pattern. I made up the catepillar and rabbit myself.  It is 14 1/2 inches high and the base is 6 3/4 inches diameter. I used beads to represent the legs on the catepillar. He has a little fez on. I used lots of the challenge fabric. The print was big but I loved the fabric,

Its been a few months!

This is the tine I recieved in the tin swap from Nancy. I love the Alice box :). Look at all the goodies she put in my box!

 These three pictures are of a wooden chest I covered with some graphic 45 papers called Le Cirque.
