I know it seems like we've completed bypassed a couple of holidays with all of our talk of ornaments, snowmen, trees and decorations.... but I think we've saved the best for this week. In the spirit of Halloween...let me introduce you to my SKELETON FLYING ARMY!
Yes
folks - I took my inspiration from a skeleton fairy I bought Diane (who
loves all things macabre!) this summer. I thought - why not...
afterall - I'll need something to combat the march of the zombie
nutcrackers that are sure to make an appearance on our blog soon. So
here they are.
So
easy to make - I took apart a skeleton garland I found and attached
some appropriate colored butterfly wings to their backs. Then it was
just a case of raiding my stash of art supplies for accessories. I
added steampunk weapons to sashes and even created a steampunk shield
for another. Have to come up with some good names though..after all,
how can I direct my defenses if I can't call them by name? Any ideas?
I
know it's late - but if you're interested in picking up one or two to
fight your own battles - check our our ATA girl store. With luck -
they'll be flying into your home in time to battle your own ghosts and
goblins!http://atagirls.storenvy.com/
Oh goodness, they're so cute...if I may say that for "flying skeletons", lol..No, they are and you're so talented..maybe next year, it's great for the window! Thank you for your sweet visit and have a terrific weekend.
