SPIRIT

Halloween approaches...or Samhain as some may call it...I go all out every year with a yard haunt, completely transformed interior and a big party. Each year I plan all the new props and crafts I want to do...and each year I run out of time because I can never get in the mood until about a month before because it is so darn hot here in the desert! I kick myself but I just can't muster the energy to work on things when its 110 at 10pm. So, this year I started working on the Booooook from Hocus Pocus. It's not done yet, but almost.

I used an old book and tore the pages out then sanded the cover and applied terracotta clay and tissue paper with mod podge. I used half a ping pong ball and a printable iris that I got online and made the eyeball. I used the clay to make the snakes and hand clasp but they keep crumbling and breaking so I'm looking for another way.

I can't wait to add printed pages from the movie book and display it on my Witch's Kitchen Rack with all my potions this year!
