In a healing process it's very important to do silly things, if you definitely must do something. So I picked up all the glitter, glue, beads, flowers and cardboard to work with the Ghastlies Gallery.
It's a lovely printed cotton fabric from Alexander Henry.

I will add these pictures to our Halloween decoration for this year. I have yards of the other prints in this serie and will sew some cusion covers of them. On monday I will start working again, half time. The medicine have started to work and I feel ok but I'm still very tired.
I laughed when I read the poste were I was talking about walks in the forest and garden work. Silly me didn't realize I was going to sleep for a couple of weeks.
Oh my gosh, they look fabulous! That was an excellent idea to make little portraits out of it! I love the green colour - very sickly-looking, isn't it? I just got my Poe fabric today, and now I must see if I can find some of this, as well! Glad to hear you're starting to feel a bit better. ❤
SvaraRaderaReminds me a bit of Edward Gorey's work. Great addition to a Halloween party!
SvaraRaderaI love the idea of making them as prints! And the fabric sounds great, too!I need some of that! And the Poe fabric!
SvaraRaderaVilket fantastiskt tyg! Jag älskar hans tyger,
SvaraRaderamen detta har jag helt missat..!
Roligt att höra att du mår bättre,
hoppas att du känner dig piggare snart!
KRAM & trevlig helg, Jenny
Wonderful! They also remind me of Edward Gorey. I've really being enjoying your blog lately, more than usual. I love the Halloween and Autumn, perfect time of the year.
SvaraRaderaThanks :) Then you might enjoy my last year's halloween posts as well ;).
RaderaI love the idea! I never thought about using those portraits on fabric for real portraits... I wish I could celebrate halloween at your place, it looks ike your decoration is awesome!
SvaraRaderaI ADORE the Ghastlies! I have all the fabric too! I love what you did with the Ghastlie Galllery picture frames! Fabulous job! :)
