HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP & GIVEAWAY

Here’s more Halloween fun coming at you.  Tee at The Crafty Paper blog is hosting a Halloween Blog Hop Giveaway.  You all know how I love witches apothecaries so my giveaway is the miniature apothecary pictured below that is approximately 6 1/2" x 3".
If you are interested in being in the drawing leave a comment on this post or email me using the email button in the right-hand column of the blog.  You have until September 30th to let me know if you want to be in on the drawing.  On September 30th I’ll use Random.org to choose a winner.

Now a few details on how I made this apothecary.

The cabinet is made from an  ATC Hutch Kit pictured below.  Rather than attaching the spider web pediment to the front of the hutch as you see in the picture, I attached it to the back to give me space on the top of the hutch to stack more stuff. 

The books are made from layers of chipboard and covered with decorative paper.
The skeleton legs attached to the front and back of the cabinet are the ones leftover from the Spinning Cauldrons ride.  If you have watched the Carnival Videos you saw me cut off the legs of the skeletons so they could ride in the cauldrons.  Here is where they ended up.

Most of the bottles are miniature perfume bottles.  The crystal ball is made from a clear marble and a bead cap.

If you are new to my blog and looking for more Halloween fun, check out the Halloween Carnival Event which is in full swing and runs until October 31st.  If you are also into apothecaries then check out last year’s Pretty Potions & Poisons Apothecary Event.

    You post fantastic tutorials! It takes me so long to do anything, however, and I'm still working on the ticket booth. Those potions and poisons would look perfect next to my ticket booth. My ticket booth would read "Take your medicine -- one dollar, no cash refund."
