Halloween Fun!


Just wanted to share some Halloween fun! 





I feel like I'm more into the spirit of Halloween this year...

I think it has something to do with the cooler, air and autumn color!





Russell carved these pumpkins and I roasted the pumpkin seeds.









I STILL can't get used to the sight of these things around here. 

SCARY! 




Don't you just LOVE white pumpkins? 




We just watched "The Shining" again last night for an old fashioned movie scare. 




I am making "Autumn Cider" today and we are looking forward to 

seeing all of the Trick or Treaters, goblins and ghouls tonight! 









Happy Halloween!!

Here's a fun little Disney Classic Short Film.


(I don't think I embedded this correctly...you'll have to hit pause on my Halloween music on my side bar so it doesn't play over the video...sorry.)

WONDERFUL Halloween moments, Becca... and LOVELY to see you! Halloween is not that big a deal here, so I miss it sometimes. It's just not the same. So I've been loving seeing everyone's celebrations in blogland. :o) ((HUGS))

That Russ is quite the pumpkin-carver! Hope you had a nice Halloween; we didn't have a single trick or treater for the first time in 35 years. Spiders seem to show up here in August, a sure sign of fall. Scarily big, you're right!

Oh, how I love the post of the farmer's market. We used to go - when we had two vehicles and Tom worked just out the back gate and across the street. I miss them! Luckily, there are some farmstands that I get to, occasionally! All closed down, now, alas!

I'm totally with you on the hydrangeas!!! (but, I've said that before. ;))

Your halloween post is one long fun chuckle!

I'm sorry that I don't get here more regularly - but I miss very few posts when I do finally come!

and, thank you for the lovely visit, too! =] (I notice that I've got a big smile on my face, now.... and, now.... I'm going to go check out that guitarist. Anything to get me off the Christmas music jag I've been on. =/ It's so comforting and cozy but too early! I've been thinking that I need some mellow guitar to fill in the gap but not sure where to find it... =] Thanks!)

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the  second-hand store for 97 cents?

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

Creating Art with Tea Bags

Image
As summer approaches and the sunshine is plentiful here in the  desert southwest, I drink a lot of this... Making sun tea here only takes a short time. I've been using 6 regular size tea bags for the above container. (I like a pretty strong flavor)  You can add sugar or not, I enjoy it with a little mint leaves & lemon and  sometimes an added sweetener.  I started having so many tea bags and I've seen my friend Kimmie   create art with them, so I thought I'd give it a try!  I just let the bags completely dry,  remove the tag & staple then open them up carefully and empty the tea. Open the bags at the seam line and this is what you have,  beautifully tea stained papers for collage, sewing, etc.  Here, I used old dictionary book paper to create my flower design on water color paper.  I painted the flowers with watercolors.  Collaged torn tea bags onto the background, then stitched around  each flower for dimension.  This book mark I made using water
