New Halloween Decor

 

I picked up a bunch of apothacary type jars at Goodwill, to use in my Halloween Kitchen decor.  I've only gotten two jars done, going to have to figure out what to put in the others.  Hopefully I'll have that done by next Halloween! LOL... 

Jellyfish Tentacles  jellyfish_swimming_hg_clr.gif picture by HalfaCent

Jellyfish Tentacle jar.  The tentacles are made using Hot Glue, just squiggle lines of glue on your countertop, pull them up when cool, & drop into a jar of water.  I used food coloring in mine, but if you soak the cartridge from a highlighter marker in the water, it will color the water, & also GLOW under a blacklight.  ( Doesn't that ^ picture make you want to reach in there & push the top down properly?  LOL..... )

EB before Eye Balls

Next I took old eyeball balls I'd gotten at the dollar store a couple of years ago, & perked them up by painting them to be more realistic.    Why didn't I do that years ago?!!?!!! 

JF-Eyes

Then tossed them into another jar filled with just clear water.... Actually there are 3 jars I put stuff in, & you can kind of see the 3rd one back behind & above the jellyfish stinger jar.  It needs some work, but at this point it just has a bunch of cheap mini skeletons stuck in it, I'm calling them goblin skeletons.  Not really sure what else to do with them, but I'm sure there has to be something I can do to make it look better!!!

 

Hope everyone has a Safe, & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

I love those EYEBALLS.....the way you "perked them up" is GREAT!! Was that YOUR idea to make some of them CLOSED, or did they come that way??

@clintspirations - The picture on the left is the way they came.  If you mean closed as in the orange & green eyes, those are slitted to be lizard, or something other than human eyes.  :smlSpider:

@HalfaCent - Gotcha....but I'm wondering if YOU made them slitted when you perked them up, or if they CAME slitted? The pic on the left only shows two OPEN eyes. I just think that was a GREAT IDEA (the slitted eyes).....it goes WELL with the OPEN ones....

@clintspirations - Ooohhhhhh..... No, I slitted them, they only came with the round eyes like in the pic either red ones or blue. :Nuts: I don't know why I never thought of or bothered to paint them before now, they definitely look better!  :zombie:

@HalfaCent - Wow, that idea of SLITTING them was absolute GENIUS, in my opinion!!! I mean, to go with the goal of UPGRADING the eyes and then thinking to, in essence, CLOSE them is....WOW!!! "Thinking outside the box", on your behalf!!! I'm just in awe of you and your work, kiddo!!! Speaking of WORK, I gotta GO there now....but check out the portrait I did of a xanga couple, in my new post.....bye!!!!
