I just listed some new Halloween cards on Etsy, and there are still some witchy ones left over from last year.
Of course I also have some prints that would be perfect for Halloween, like Conservatory, or perhaps this lot of three zombie prints. Have a look!

My Halloween costume for this year is Princess Aura, my favourite character from the wonderful Flash Gordon serials. It’s probably the most ambitious Halloween costume I’ve made so far, with props and all.

I’ve been working on quite an ambitious Halloween costume this year, but when my parents brought this playsuit that used to belong to my grandmother, and used to be in our dress up box when we were kids, I realised it looks a lot like those 1920s Halloween costumes you see in fashion prints.
I made some cardboard and crepe paper accessories, and made it an extra, pre-Halloween costume. A sort of 1920s Halloween witch chorus girl.
I have no idea how old this garment actually is, the fabric feels just like t-shirt fabric, but the cut is perfect for a 20s look.

I’m once again selling Halloween cards on Etsy. They would look great framed as mini prints as well!

A belated Instagram October, and a very meagre one. Work has been taking all my energy lately and you may have noticed I haven’t blogged much either. I didn’t even have the energy to make a Halloween costume! Though I did have grand plans which will have to wait until next year.

I’ve just listed two different types of Halloween cards on Etsy. The first ones are handmade cards featuring details from my Coven painting.

These are professionally printed matte postcards featuring my painting Fireflies, that I had made some time ago for an art show that never happened. I think they would make very elegant halloween cards.
