Project for Halloween


September is almost over and it is time to start thinking about Halloween. I purchased a couple of Pumpkin Head vinyl toys by Rose Art. They are called Color Blanks and come with markers and stickers for customizing. You can also use acrylic paint which is what I plan to use.

While working on some designs for my pumpkin heads I was inspired by some old-time Halloween decorations. Here are some sketches I made based on some of those decorations.



I just need to pick some designs and start painting!

I just Googled it and saw the Amazon link. There were images for a few of the cards. Cool old-timey images. I liked the six of ghosts -cute!

Kipling based some of the characters she drew in the cards on old Hallowe'en people. I recommend it highly. You might like just poking around her site and looking at her artwork:
