Halloween 2012 - Costuming and Carving

Greetings!

Here is the long awaited (Sorry for posting this late) post on Halloween. :)

 I didn't end up doing much, except the usual of reading folklore/carving/eating candy...*Shifts*

Although I wasn't able to Trick or Treat, I did dress up, here are the photos!

(Does this count as an outfit post? xD)

Costume: Witch. (Disney, fantasy, suchlike. I decided to be cliche, as I had never had a Witch outfit before.)

Me and my weird posing skills. :)

See the nails? xD. They were fun but hard to grasp stuff with. I pity anyone who actually has nails like these. :D

Bat wings? Plus smashing broom.

I've been waiting awhile to show you these lovely stripy socks! Found them in an Op shop (In an area full of scene kids) for only $1.

My potion bottles. I was supposed to do a tutorial on that...

My Bat lamp, which I showed you last post.

:)

Half my potion collection, with bonus candles.

Mom's decorative skills

I GOT AN AMERICAN PUMPKIN IN COLES! Cost me $20 but it was so orange and large!

Below the pumpkin are my 4 carved turnips. :D

Sorry the shots are so bad! I spent an hour on my makeup, making myself really old and Witchy, but the stupid camera didn't pick it up. :(

And just for an added bonus, here is a quick look at Halloween LAST year. xD

Back when I watermarked my pictures...Ehee...Here's me as 'Mrs Lovett/Lydia Deetz.' Note: At that time, I hadn't actually seen Sweeney Todd, so I had no idea what I was doing.

Back when I had a better camera....*Sob* Although smaller, those pumpkins were grown out of our garden, and it was my first time carving stuff. :)

 Well that's all for this post!

See you all in another post (whenever I decided to take a break from reading truckloads of books/gaming/watching movies)

Note: New favorite movie I just watched: Stardust. Completely awesome, I intend to find the book and read it. :)

New favorite books: The Mortal Instruments. Absolutely amazing book series, and The Infernal Devices are EPIC BEYOND MEASURE as well. :P

Hmm, I might as well add Artemis Fowl to that list. xD

Well, I'll stop rambling now and leave you in peace.

Farewell!

PS: Go check out AsylumAlice and OddGhoulOut's epic Halloween costumes, they are awesome. :D

Halloween Shop Finds

Greetings!

I was supposed to post this a week ago, but due to Halloween preparations, I was late. *Sorry*

 Anyhow, here is a photo post of Halloween items I found in a little shop. Although I'd thought that Australia wasn't that festive, I was pleasantly surprised to find all of these:

Glow in the dark spiderwebs! Can be joined like this, or used as 4 individual corner pieces. I intend to put them in the corners of my room. :)

A black plastic rose, with just a hint of red at the top.

Cauldrons! All pretty tiny, but they're quite cute. <3 The large one says 'Witches' Brew'

These are amazing! In a dark room they have a faint glow when the little lamps are on. Plus PURPLE AND BATS! *squee*

Bad picture sorry. These are 10 Jack o' Lantern lights, that glow orange at night.

Same as the pumpkins, except these are ghost lanterns. :)

Kind of a weird picture, but this stuff is called 'Freaky Fabric' :D I plan to drape it over my wardrobe.

A cheap Witch hat. xD

Well, those are all my finds. (Which shall be decorating my room for the whole year and beyond) Next post should be Halloween 2012, with my costume, and carving skills. :P

Farewell!

Ps: What Halloween decorations did you find, dear followers?
