The Witching Hour

 Good Saturday Morning everyone.  It's a cold and rainy morning here in Michigan but I guess one will get these kind of days in the Fall.  I do alot better with a sunny day as far as being productive.  When it's a rainy day all I feel like doing is sleeping but I still love Saturdays.  Well, I was having a little bit of fun with some Halloween painting.  I had these gourds that my husband picked at an estate sale and I didn't know what to do with them.  Here is a picture of the gourds:

Well I decided to make one of them into a witch for Halloween.  It was the perfect size to make a witch's head.  So out came the acrylic paints and I painted the lower 2/3's of the gourd with a mixture of a witchy green color.  I painted the top 1/3 of the gourd with a black paint for the hat.  I painted the face features with black paint only and even painted the cheeks a soft black.  I made a brim out of felt and before I glued that on, I made hair with yarn and paper ribbon.

 After I glued the hair and the felt brim on I added some material ribbon around the brim and left that kinda of shaggy.  Glued some sparkly silver pipe cleaners coming out of the ribbon.

 She turned out a little shabby.

 I left her a kinda of a shabby looking chic witch.

 So what do you think?  Is it the Witching Hour?

Happy Halloween everyone.  Until next time, Dianne................
