Festering Eyeball Pudding
I have been straightening my studio, re-organizing it really. Oh, how about a little peak in the studio!? We had a Witches’ Ball at the house last night for Halloween. But before the party, I snuck into the studio for a few pics of my handmade witches hat.
Yeppers, I was having fun with the camera!
I also created a necklace filled with dehydrated prince charming (just add water and a kiss…simple spells are always my favorite!)
One theme of the party was to bring food with gross names. My offering: Graveyard Gruel (Texas Chili) and Festering Eyeball Pudding (grapes, tapioca pudding, and pecans…actually VERY yummy.)
We had a great time! I loved all the energy from the event and have used it to take me into the first two days of Art Every Day Month. This challenge encourages creativity for the month of November. I did it last year and it gave me a real boost. So I have two days worth of art, both on the same theme.
Day of the Dead Embroidery
Tonight I am headed for one of MSN’s Top 10 Dia de los Muertos Festival in our hometown which is organized by K Space Contemporary. It is one of my favorite street festivals of the year. I hope to share some pictures with you (if my camera cooperates!) Till then, keep creating a beautiful life!

Love the hat!!
Rachél
Thanks, Connie. I made it several years ago. I am not much of a sewer so it took a lot to wrap my mind around how to make it all work. But now that I have it I love it!

Love the embroidery. The colors really pop against the black! The dehydrated Prince Charming necklace is quite fun & pretty.

Thanks, Sherry! I had a blast doing them. I have an affinity for frogs. I have a small collection of little frogs dressed in costumes. They crack me up!

Have you heard of Wonderfrogs? A friend gave one to me. Her name is Magenta http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkknitter/sets/72157624084923457/ The poor thing is a bit neglected. She’s been wearing the same outfit for over a year & hasn’t been outside!

Oh, those are adorable! I clicked over to the group to have a look-see. People seem to have a lot of fun with them! Thanks for sharing!

By chance did you make that hat at pre-party hat making get-together before another Witch’s Ball(Brew) all those years ago? I wore mine on Wednesday too!
Rachél
As a matter of fact, I did! It will always be my fave!
