HALLOWEEN CENTERPIECE

The perfect centerpiece for my table for Halloween, thanks to my friend Debbie.  Would you believe she made one for each member of our local DIVAS art group!  Thank you Debbie.  Everyone who has viewed it is in awe.  The details are incredible.

DIVAS October Project

Debbie brought cigar boxes for all of us to alter with a Halloween theme along with a vast assortment of papers, stickers, elements and trims for our use.  Below is a photo of my completed box.

Put together another card using bits and pieces from my overflowing box of tidbits.

BEFORE AND AFTER

For several years, I have had these dress mannequins (8 inches in height) waiting for me to do something with them.  July is my month to present a project for our circle of friends art group so it was time to pull these mannequins off the shelf and put them to use.  Below is a photo of the one I altered for the sample project for the group.  I know, I know, you thought I'd do an oriental theme...next time I promise.
