I don't actually make Halloween cards, but I just had to share with you this delightful witch made by a good friend of mine, 'constantweader' , who is the queen of the bookcrossing world (see www.bookcrossing.com for details of what that is).
Gorgeous, isn't it? It was made as an ATC, or artist's trading card, so the actual size is 3 1/2" by 2 1/2". The bristles of the agreeably vibrant broom are actually made from one of those net bags used to store oranges, teased out; the broomhandle is a cocktail stick, artfully painted, and the witch's hair is the wonderfully-named 'eyelash yarn'. I particularly like the fact that the moon isn't a flat white disc, but a creamy textured affair. I recommend checking out constantweader's other work at http://flickr.com/photos/constantweader
(By the way, to find out where the name 'constantweader' comes from, read Dorothy Parker's review of a Winnie-the-Pooh book).
Happy Halloween!
