October in the ground, on the wind

Couple-a storebought tombestones for the yard.
I like these dollar store skulls, I need to think of a more customized prop to make with them.
 

A few more tombstones. Sadie cat is under the bush.
 

 The witch I made last year has been converted into a wind-witch this year.
It's been warm, and the tree in the front yard hasn't dropped it's leaves, so she's slightly hidden right now.


A wind ghost. As grandiose as my aspirations for Halloween displays are, circumstances compel a cheap and cheerful approach. Plus, I think that there is a certain kind of special Halloween magic caused by making monsters out of the stuff at hand.

  4. Your yard is looking good! I remember that creepy witch from last year. That's cool that you thought of another purpose for her. She should look pretty spooky moving around on windy nights. It's fun to see the Dollar Tree skull being used in a different way. Mine is wearing a witch hat now, but it will soon be sitting in a candy bowl.

  5. Great decorations! The witch looks particularly malevolent, reminds me of my former neighbour.

    1. Ha! How could a witch not love a black cat?

      The village witch here in Eugene has half a dozen black cats. Now there's a real witch!
