Considering this, it's odd that I almost never create anything with a Halloween theme. I enjoy makings things for other holidays, so why not Halloween? This year, a dear online friend mentioned that she loved Halloween and the ensuing crafty endeavours, and for some reason, it sparked something in me to make some Halloween-inspired items. Looking back, I realize it had me thinking outside the box, and getting out of my comfort zone. So I had some fun with traditional Halloween colors and images. These little creations helped me break through the wall that is artist's block, and got me back on track, artistically-speaking.

These are so freaky and cool Jessica! I really like the mix of B&W with color here, it adds a spookiness that totally drew me in. (Perhaps because the film The Wizard of Oz has always terrified me?)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love spiders IRL, the raven one is calling my name with it's warm orangey colors.
Can I trade you one of my ATCs for one of these?
Thanks, Dana! I liked the B&W, too. I originally tried coloring their clothing, but it just didn't look right to me. And I'd love to trade with you! Luckily, I made extras of these for trading.
