Bumping into the night

Uncle Crusty’s legs are knobby and boney.  Walk quickly down those creaky wooden stairs, before he loses his balance and topples right on to you.

Love all things creepy and crawly. Love scary and spooky. Love skulls and skeletons: they’re elegant, silly, and a great beginning point for creativity. Mixed Media Monday is hosting the best theme this week: Things That Go Bump in Night.

Uncle Crusty was made by punch needle embroidery and embellished with one glass eye, one commercial clock face button, and gold bugle beads for teeth.

    Love this piece Michele = it’s brilliant! It’s been forever and a day since I’ve done any punch needle, and I never did anything as creative as this!
