Happy Halloween!
In 2012, I finally got around to making a half inch scale
Halloween Scene.
I had been planning to do one for many years, and when I got out all
of the Halloween items I had collected over the years, I found
that I had enough to make SEVERAL scenes!
This scene was inspired by something Jane Coffey did years
ago,
except that I used an actual costume witch's hat for the witch's cave.
Come on in - if you dare!
Wooden stepping stones will lead you through the pumpkin
patch -
but don't worry, it's a good witch who lives here!
Inside, this lovely witch (made from a Laurie Sisson kit)
is brewing up something in her cauldron.
But when the lights go out, the skulls on the wall start
to glow.
Meanwhile, outside the cave you'll spot three other witches
working on a spell under an autumn tree, while assorted ghosts hover about.
A haunted tree sits just outside the cave. Can you spot
the watchful owl?
Behind the tree rides a headless horseman, endlessly searching
for his head.
At the back of the scene is a cemetery. One grave seems
to be a little active.
Assorted ghosts guard the pumpkin patch. No great pumpkin
here!
The stacked pumpkins seen above and the trick or treat
bags around the hat are all lit by batteries, as are the skulls inside the
cave. Look at the second picture again.
Hope your visit didn't spook you too badly!
