New Starlight Pumpkins Halloween Tree








Today I was working on one of my larger halloween trees. I painted a large wooden box that measures 8 x 8 x 7 inches.  I base coated the box with black. I painted a night scene with saltbox houses and a pumpkin garden. In the background is the moon and the swirling Milky Way. The Milky Way is sprinkled with a touch of glitter to give it a more dramatic effect. This is a Terrye French design.  Inside the box is a 24 inch tree with a string of 50 clear lights and a maple leaf garland. On the tree are hand painted wooden pumpkins that have a touch of glitter, cats, and witch hats. In the middle of the tree is a paper mache Jack O Lantern with a long black hat. There is a ghost, a cat face, a pumpkin face, two small round Jack O Lantern pumpkins, and a large round pumpkin with a rusty leaf. Scattered around the tree are frosted and shiny orange and black glass balls. Towards the top of the tree is a rusty clip on tea light holder with a burgundy tea light and a small wooden sign that says Pumpkins. At the very top of the tree is a rusty star and a pumpkin fabric bow. The entire tree measures 30 inches tall. This would be stunning as a centerpiece on your table or a great eye catching decoration for your entry way. I will be listing it on ebay today. Thanks for stopping by!!!!

  6. I have got to learn how to decorate trees like this. I haven't seen one yet that I haven't wanted for my own. This one is as wonderful as the last and that one was as wonderful as the one before it. I'm in awe in case you haven't noticed. Fantastic job, Denise.
