Sugarwings saw all my decor for Romantic Gothic Ghosts and wanted to help. Her tastes run more to the traditional colors of Halloween, while I was trying to keep my palette orange and purple free.
But I admire her work and sense of style too, so I let her have free reign over her project.
We picked up a "Grammy" and a "Sugarwings" scarecrow (half price last week at Michaels) and clothed them in some witch clothes from our dress up closet.
Next came the make up. Lots of marker and glitter work went into this. At least an hour's worth of foofing.
Then, the ladies got some jewelry and accessories.
Ta Da!
Everyone who is coming to our crafty day in the studio knows how I feel about Sugarwings and her art work. I think they will appreciate her efforts to welcome them, even if she follows her own palette and differs from our theme, don't you think?
The room is ready for our guests, and the treat cabinet is decorated like a "haunted mansion" as Sugarwings calls it. I've been baking up a storm and this will be filled with goodies soon.
Family arrives here on Thursday and my Ghoul Friends, or Lovely Spirits come on Saturday. I'll be pretty busy having fun, so I have pre-posted on my blog for the next few days.
I have deleted the sign up page for Romantic Gothic Ghosts so I don't oversell accidently. We are keeping it limited to a small group. But if you are interested, please email me for info. karlanathan@sbcglobal.net
Those scarewitches look just like you two gals. It appears that Sugarwings regards art as serious business. Well done.

Sugarwings may deviate from the more gothic theme, but her scarecrows are classier than the usual purple and orange fair. She is very talented girl :-)

Your granddaughter has talent and adorable too! I also have a granddaughter who has her own style when it comes to crafting. Your sweetie looks to be the same age group as mine. Aren't they the best? Your upcoming event sounds wonderful. SIGH-too bad I can't attend. If you have leftover kits will you consider putting them in your etsy shop. Have a wonderful time!

Karla you are such a wonderful Grandma. Sugarwings is very lucky to be able to explore her creative side and create such fantastic witchy scarecrows. Your "Den of Desserts" is delightful and inviting. Falling into Autumn Bliss...

I love Sugarwings! Anything she does is alright by me. Ever so often, my mama asks me how the "fairy lady with the Sugarwings grandbaby" is doing in Kansas.... You have touched our lives with your art and your heart....
