Hallowe’en Party Shrine Artwork + New Halloween Supplies & SALE

Filed under Beads, Halloween, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper
Update! A newer post about Shannon’s artwork is here.

Before I show off Design Team Member Shannon Cooper’s adorable Hallowe’en Party Shrine, a quick note: beside putting everything in Shannon’s supplies on sale, I added lots of possible substitutes to the sale, too! (More info below.)

Is that not the cutest little Halloween treats shrine ever?! Beside that tall overview photo at right, see 2 wider close-ups below. I love all the little cookies & candies Shannon made (and the decorations… so much to cover)!

Anyone else ready for a cool Autumn breeze? It has been unbearably hot here, like, if-you-go-outside-you-will-burst-into-flames unbearable, so even a temperature less than sweltering would be welcomed. Not interested in being aflame, I turned off all the lights, removed as much clothing one can before upsetting family members, and huddled over a little Hallowe’en project.

I started by covering an Arched Shrine Shadowbox with scrapbook papers. The table is made from a Set of Wooden Table Legs and a rectangle of basswood. It was stained with watered-down brown acrylic paint and a scrap of fabric was glued on top for the tablecloth.

I was happy to have a 3-Tier Cupcake Stand handy because otherwise I would’ve run out of space pretty quickly! (Actually, there’s still surface area there…darn.) All of the cookies on the stand as well as the black and white checkerboard cookies and bats and ghosts are simply slices of polymer clay canes. The white cakes were made with a Mini Bundt Cake Silicone Mold and a dash of glitter.


Great job, Shannon! By the way, I added the White 3-Tier Cupcake Stand to the sale collection (not the solid gold version Shannon used, but the same size). Just the first of 8 options added to the sale!

Read more and see more photos in Shannon’s blog post. Here’s her supply list (and remember that all these supplies are in today’s sale collection — more info below)!


 
NEW Halloween Goodies and in today’s sale, too!

Yes, Halloween is soon! Between our move and that evil virus, it’s past time to get some new Halloween items posted! Though not quite the style of Shannon’s artwork, I’ve added ALL 4 of these new items to the sale collection!

Hey, those Tiny Black Resin Bats at right are tiny enough that they could be cookies or trims on a similar shrine. See below for more info on the COUPON sale!

 
Lots of Items are Back in Stock!

Some of these are straight-up “back in stock”. Others, like the Victorian Cane Seat Chair Kit are updated, too (this is the same chair that was in a set with a table… used in that amazing Hagrid’s Hut by Nichola Battilana. More info in the blog and/or see the supply list.

 
FREE Gift with Orders

A Jack-o-Lantern Gift Kit is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight September 13, 2023)!

Starting with 1 of the Wood Jack-o-Lantern Cut-Outs (yes, the same one at the top of Shannon’s artwork, and already included in the sale, in case you’d like more than 1).

Next, I added an Antique Silver BOO Ghost Charm (kinda like the ghost at the top of the 3-tier cupcake stand). I also added these charms to the sale collection (and the related charm set that includes the same ghost).

Finally, 3 items that are not available separately: Tiny Bats Polymer Clay Halloween Slices, Glow in the Dark Moons & Stars, and a Resin Jack-o-Lantern Cab.
