Fantastic Kaz!

Here is my ghost, pumpkin, and mutant 6 legged spider!!!!

I may reattempt these!!!!!

They're so cute - sorry if you were shooting for scary

The spider is my favourite. Looks like the one that scampered across the rug and under my tv last night

Love the witchy, ghosty, pumpkin and spider ! Im trying to think of something to make cos im actually going to have a go on the torch today woohoo.

Jane C ♫ · October 17, 2013, 09:59:22 AM

I made a hungry flying pumpkin monster creature!

(scuse the crack ... it was a bit big for the vermiculite!)

Skyblue · October 22, 2013, 07:07:17 AM

He looks like a very happy monster Jane

It's a good start Jane. If you make another, try squishing the green "wings" with your tweezers as that will turn them into fins.

Jane C ♫ · October 22, 2013, 09:18:19 AM

Aww thanks Skyblue.

Pat - I did squish them with tweezers but didn't want to make them too thin after my previous attempt at larger wings (a month or so ago) cracked off while I was working on it, poinged across the kitchen and set fire to the back doormat! Also I knew I was vermiculite annealing so wanted to make sure they had a chance of survival! Next time I'll put the kiln on before I start ...

Purplecobwebs - love the eyes on your spider, and your pumpkin has a real air of menace ...

I tried a Halloween jellyfish. (I will be having another go to try and get the tentacles more opaque).

Irene · October 26, 2013, 12:40:56 AM

those are great beads! I really like the spider, it has attitude!! And oh so beautiful jellyfish. I hope I can learn how to do that one day.

Pat from Canvey · October 26, 2013, 08:13:33 AM

Another great jellyfish Heather, and Jane, try leaving the squishing to last thing you do.

Nick, we obviously think alike...

ghost by Nammie's Pics, on Flickr

I considered bats and cats and even pumpkins but decided I had all the necessary skills to represent ectoplasm

(He's not quite just a blob, he is hollow under his 'skirt')

Nicknack · November 01, 2013, 12:25:13 AM

Gaynor (Purple Cobwebs) had the same idea, too! Yours is the smiliest.
