My collection of Halloween originals for 2012 is almost complete! Oh what a good feeling! About fifty or so unique faces are all staring back at me, and anxiously awaiting to be seen at my shows. Vintage crepe paper bow ties and hand-sewn ruffled collars have all been affixed, but the very last detail adds that touch of vintage sparkle that I so enjoy! I ordered a last-minute round of both Black & Pumpkin Spice glass glitter from
Meyer Imports, and I think John Meyer sensed my urgency and promptly sent them this week! I thought you might enjoy a few sneak peeks taken yesterday from my workshop. JP snapped some random pics of me adding a
Pumpkin Spice glittered brim to a cat ball character that I will be taking with me to the
Trunk Show. And by the way, "Dottie Waverly" will be heading off to the
Ghoultide Gathering if she doesn't find the purrrfect pairing at this Saturday's show in Denver. Enjoy & happy creating!

* There I am, caught in the act of glass-glittering my folk art characters!
* First, I add a bead of glue to the front side base of her hat...
* And, a little tap-tap sprinkle, and the glass glitter is applied to the wet glue line...
* Then, I squeeze on a little more glue to finish that shimmery brim line...
* And here comes my favorite part ~ tap-tap sprinkle! A little goes a long way...
* Now, I have lots of photos to take as I typically document, via images, all the characters I create each year. IF I have a chance to post any sneak peeks before this Saturday's Trunk Show, they will appear here on my blog. No guarantees, but check back just in case time permits!
See you soon!

Your shop looks like I would imagine Santa's workshop does! Mine is mostly splattered in clay and dog hair, lol!
OH, seriously, mine's a mess too! :) You can't be creative w/o making a mess of things... LOL

You look sooo cute in glasses Johanna!
You're welcome Amanda, and thank you Amber! I feel a little dorky in my glasses, but my darn contacts aren't working so well lately for those up-close details, so the glasses have been a big asset the last few weeks!
It's funny, my mom thought that I was making a pun with the words - "glass glittered delights".... in reference to both glitter and my glasses.... haha! It's just a funny coincidence, I guess.......
What lovely Halloween art once again! :)
