Halloween Delights

Oh dear I have been back in the UK now for over two months and finding the time to make miniatures is proving difficult. There are just so many other things that need sorting out first. While I was living in Jakarta my son's friend broke the original etched glass in our  front door. I have only just managed to get that sourced. Then the garden well, what can I say he just managed to keep it from dying.  I have had to weed, prune, replant and generally revive my once beautiful garden not to mention painting the shed and fence. The list goes on but I will not bore you with my woes.

Here are some little bits I have managed to create for Halloween.

Trick or Treat

I have been very busy preparing for a miniature Halloween. I remember when my son was small all the fuss over his Halloween outfit. Well it had to be just right especially when he was over 5 years old. Before that he was happy with the usual black cat, ghost, witch etc.
He would always go Trick or Treating with his bestfriends. We would meet at his friend's house for a Halloween party, the fathers would take the children out while we chatted and drunk wine.
I have to say I miss the spooky party games and scary ghost stories. My son is now 21 years old and is away at University.
So my Halloween celebration is mainly in 12th scale. Although I still curve a Jack-a-Lantern Pumpkin and have a big bowl of Treats for any little Spooks that come my way. Which here in London UK, I seem to be the only person in my street to do so.

I have been working really hard mini making over the last couple of days and getting quite tired. Yesterday I went to take some miniatures out of the oven as they had been in for 20 minutes. I opened the oven and it was empty. What! I thought surely no one could have stolen my minis. I looked up and they were still sitting on the worktop. Earlier I had checked the temperature of the oven and must have forgotten to put them in. LOL
That's when I knew it was time to stop for the day. This is what I have been working on.

Halloween Madness

I just cannot stop myself making Halloween goodies. I love the colours and the sheer fantasy. Yet in reality, if I ever saw a ghost and was aware of it I would probably be so scared I would faint. Here's my latest creation. A 3 tier cake featuring a pumpkin as the bottom tier, a haunted castle night scene with orange icing oozing down as the middle tier and a mummy's face on the top with black oozing icing leading to three skulls perched precariously at the base.
