October Challenge

That's really cute Cornish.

Love your spider RowanWolf.

Great little braclet Cornish, nice bit of fun those fangs - creepy.

Hopefully will get something done this weekend.

Loving those fangs Cornish!
I'm still waiting on that blooming husband of mine to do my photos grrr.......

I think we should all havea whip round and get Lisa a digital camera of her own

Cornish, your bracelet is so full of character and I am not surprised that you have been wearing it so much. However, it is the fangs which I really love ... simple, but very effective.

Thanks Pru.

hmm not sure how many posts ive made on here so id better start saying something rather than just reading it all in the meantime I will think of something halloweeny .

Oooh, I spy my batty Cornish!! Cute - and love the fangs too. I adore spiders Rowanwolf and I love that necklace too.

Will take the issue of the voting etc off to a new topic so we don't distract from the comp. So - who else is working on a piece? I'm loving this month so far, bats and spiders, I'm in super-mega-goth heaven

I have a couple of ideas, but no time to work on them yet. I'm hoping that the month doesn't finish before I even get started!

I'll confess that I'm not working on this month's comp. It's a really busy time for me right now and, whilst I love halloween, it's not my thing to make jewellery around festive themes.

I have finished my entry and I am just waiting for the right conditions to take a photo. The only outside area we have is a balcony and the light conditions can be a bit tricky at certain times of day. My photography is a bit dire at the best of times so I need all the help I can get!

umm I havent started mine yet , we have the plasterers in doing the whole downstairs and the dust is unbelievable ! I feel like emigrating

I'm sure there will be a few lastminute.com entries lol. Odonata I know what you mean and I'd probably be the same, only I love gothic stuff so this one will be a pleasure for me :-)

I'm just putting some finishing touches to my piece, which will help to defend the troubled at the witching hour............
oh blimey, even scaring myself a little there

So here is my entry. I found these howlite skull beads a while ago and they have been waiting in my stash for the right moment. Once I had made the bracelet it reminded me of those rows of skulls you see in documentaries about the Khmer Rouge, so I added the purple jade beads to soften the look. I fear it is still a bit grim!

Oooh wow, I don't normally like skulls but I'm loving that :-)

Skulls are not my fav thing either but very inovative use of them and the purple works well.

Thanks Tinker and Ashlynn.

Ashlynn, do you realise that in the last two MJ challenges you and I have used the same material. We both used paua shell for the sea challenge and blue goldstone for the night sky challenge. However it sounds as if you don't have a ready supply of skulls for this one!!

Ooh I like this Pru, the purple really sets it off.
I'm waiting on the photographer to get back from Istanbul so mine will be a lastminute.com!

LOL...............working on mine at the moment, now where could I find a skull............lol

That's fantastic!

I like the skulls Pru, very nice with the purple.

Here's my entry a Witches Broomstick Brooch made mostly from my silver scrap pot hence the rustic finish.








..............and Pru not a skull in sight...............lol

Great idea ... great design ... great execution!

Wow Ashlynn I really like that and rustic is good with a broomstick.
