I belong to an art group called "
In My Vintage Room & Beyond" and Friday night two of the gals, Doris & Beth, hosted a Halloween themed gathering, which was held at another member's home, Michele, who graciously let us use the dining room of her beautiful home as a meeting place.
Due to bad weather, last year's Halloween gathering had to be cancelled. However, our challenge for last year was to alter a paper mache Witch's Hat - because of the cancelation we never "revealed" our hats. This year the challenge was to alter a Tim Holtz Alarm Clock. So with our Witch's Hat and Clock in our bags we all showed up at Michele's for a wonderful evening of delicious food, desserts and great conversation! Everyone oohed and awed at the reveals! Our hands-on project for the evening was to altered an old wooden thread spool and to create a Halloween inspired pin to wear - sorry, I do not have pictures of them.
Unfortunately, I don't know the creators of all of the hats and clocks....we forgot to put the artist names on the artwork!!! But, nevertheless, I will share the pictures I captured last night and guess at the ones I think I remember:
