Here’s a look at some Halloween crafting I’ve done recently! Lots of vintage inspiration and Edgar Allen Poe and The Raven inspired pieces.<\/p>\n

\"book-mask\"<\/a>
\nI took a standard mask and added to it making it a vintage, gothic book inspired Masquerade mask! I used real pages from an old Edgar Allen Poe book and decoupaged them across the face. Then using paper flowers with newsprint\/handwriting motif, I accented it and added a crystal drop as well.<\/p>\n

\"halloween-jewelry1a\"<\/a>
\nA trio of Halloween jewelry including a Gothic inspired Ouija Board necklace in gunmetal, a Spirit Board glass tile pendant and an Edger Allen Poe The Raven “Nevermore” brass cuff bracelet.<\/p>\n

\"raven-journal1\"<\/a>
\nI took a plain journal and decoupaged real pages from an old Edgar Allen Poe book on the cover giving it a rough, ragged torn edges look. Then I added an image of a blackbird – a raven perhaps? – sitting on top of a pumpkin in front of an orange, harvest moon.<\/p>\n

\"raven-journal1b\"<\/a>
\nThe back of the journal was decoupaged in more book pages as well.<\/p>\n

\"spellbook1a\"<\/a>
\nThis witch’s book of spells started with a paper mache form that I painted orange and black accents and covered the front with a witch flying a broom image. <\/p>\n

\"spellbook1b\"<\/a>
\nOn the side of the spellbook, I hand painted “spells” and “potions” and detailed the spine in black accents.<\/p>\n

\"spellbook1c\"<\/a>
\nAnd the “pages” of the book were first painted a cream color and then dry brushed with a fan brush in a black to give the illusion of pages.<\/p>\n

\"bingo-tricktreat\"<\/a>
\nI took a vintage Bingo card and made a paper rosette and added a vintage owl drawing. I spelled out “TRICK” across the top and “TREAT” on the pennant stickers across the bottom turning it into an adorable hanging sign!<\/p>\n

I love Halloween and it’s so fun trying new things! I learned a lot of new techniques making these items and bought a lot of new supplies too. (Can you ever have enough craft supplies? LOL)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
