Gargoyle swing

front of swingMore carnival! Here is a swing made with the cardboard side view gargoyles from Alpha Stamps. I decided to make this instead of the Stare Down a Gargoyle. I used styrofoam balls to glue the sticks into thus the big pumkins on the side!

More carnival

 

My welcome signMore carnival! The Witches Broom Ride actually sits on a lazy susan so it turns!

the waiting benches for the Broom ride and a decorative tree

This is the Witches Broom Ride. It is a paper cone attached to a pie pan and then covered with tissue paper and mod podge. the brooms are small dowels I cut to length and added dried stuff wrapped with sinew. They are attached with jewelry chain and jump rings. I didn't have a tinker toy part so I glued six wooden beads to a round cog from a tape dispenser with the holes facing out to attach the dowels which I ended up using sucker sticks as they fit in the bead holes great. I put a large bead on top to hold the sign. I think next time I will just buy the tinker toy from Laura! LOL

Balloon cart and Scare Meter

Whole front view

 I decided to use a wooden coffin for my balloon cart. I Have changed the balloons since this picture. Ther are now all in a bundle. I only had two balloons from the collage sheets so I used some of the kitty heads and a few of my own images.

This is the Scare Meter from the collage sheet. I made it mostly like Laura's with the ghost picks holding up the beads.

There will be more pictures to come!

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.

Halloween carnival-challenge piece

This is a front view

 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.
