All six of the Halloween ornaments at As Nice as Mice are OMG-ded adorable. I’m torn between the Monster and the witch. I don’t like zombies, but this one is squeeable. In fact…*click* Couldn’t resist.

I keep wanting to do a full feature on death’s head watches, but can’t seem to find the time. Heh. So here are some pictures and links.
Memento Mori in the Golden Age of Piracy. Scroll a little for the watches.

And a few more pics from here and there:
It’s that time of year when we are farthest from our favorite holiday–which means it’s Secret Pumpkin time!
This year I got to make something for Pixel Pixie, who I actually know IRL. I have always wanted to spookify a box, but I was especially inspired by the work of Jamie Moore.
Of course, my stuff looks nothing like hers, but hey, that’s how inspiration works for me.
I didn’t take a picture, but this was originally a vintage Christmas box with kind of a weird Santa painting.
I gave it a fresh coat of paint, then I hand-painted the front and sides. The back and inside (except for the starry sky) are lined with pretty paper, and the whole thing got some satin lacquer. This was a blast to do, and I’ve been collecting jewelry boxes from thrift stores so I can do more makeovers.
