Ghoulish Glassware

In preparation for my favorite spooky noir holiday, I've decided to make some more spooky glasses.  I played around with some black furniture paint I had left over to make a broken wine glass into a Halloween decoration.  I loved the way it turned out.  So now it's time to try some more, with better paint & a variety of glassware.  Fun FUN!

I made a big mess & the kitchen kind of looked like a mini murder scene (too early for Halloween, bummer... had to clean it up).  But now I've got a creepy bowl, candy jar, goblet & delicate champagne glass.  Blood & ghostly ectoplasm make for delightfully eery decor I think.

And a weeping angel in the cemetery scene of the candy jar was a fun inclusion.  "Don't Blink"

Now I want to make more...

Bearded Iris- my sexy bearded lady

She's almost done after last night's work on the cluster of carpels known as the beard, of the bearded iris, which I prefer over the more aquatic adapted species with their thinner flowers.

See the stamen in the back, hiding among the standard (upper) petals? 

Beardeds come in every single color you can think of, and some combos you'd never have imagined.  And they are super hardy, plus poisonous.  A triple threat type of lady...

So far, I'm liking how she's turning out. Should be all finished soon, a week or two hopefully.  Getting excited!  :)
