(08/22/10) Making witch kitchen jars and ingredients is easy and inexpensive. Any jar or bottle of any size will do. I collect jars from my own kitchen, from friend’s houses, from garage sales, and from one of the thrift shops in town that always carries a vast and bizarre selection for very cheap. Prepping Bottles They should be thoroughly washed and dried. I like all my stuff to sort of ‘flow’ in the the same color palette. My labels are all the same paper, processed the same way. I use flat black paint, sometimes painting the jars black too. I use a small amount of silver, and some times dress up the jars using aged looking binder twine. Almost all my jars get flat black spray-painted lids. I place all the lids on newspaper outside or in the garage, and spray paint them with light even coats, allowing the paint to dry before each application. One of my favorite spray paints for this is Excel because it covers nicely and dries fast. BBQ Sauce bottle ready to use Ingredients Fill the jars using...See less

(08/22/10) The above items were made for only a couple dollars each! It's easy if you have a few things around the house and a dollar store nearby. You just need a little imagination and an eye for mixing and matching. Who needs off-the-shelf seasonal Halloween decorations when you can make your own in an afternoon for a fraction of the price and get ten times the quality - not to mention something wholly unique? This is a process, rather than a specific How-To. Use a similar process on your own to mix and match different items to make your own jars. Wander through the dollar store and look at the various items in a whole new way! The most important thing is to think of a story behind each creation. This will direct your efforts. Once you have a concept in mind, the rest of the jar will pretty much make itself. Here is how the above items were made. Expand on this and make your own!See less

(08/22/10) Go over the top this Halloween. Here are tips to making it simple. Decorate in little stories. Story 1: three flanking spooky trees with cobwebs. Story 2: collection of apothecary jars filled with creepy crawlies. Story 3: Several burlap bags below filled with skulls and bones. Use clear jars to prevent a space from feeling cluttered and messy. Remember to decorate eye level and above to continue the room's ambience. Pair items in odd numbers rather than even numbers for more visual interest. Have fun and don't be shy this Halloween! Perch an owl in the foyer to greet guests or place a bedazzled metallic skull among your bags o' bones down below. http://xml.channel.aol.com/xmlpublisher/fetch.v2.xml?option=expand_relative_urls&dataUrlNodes=uiConfig,feedConfig,localizationConfig,entry&id=893654&pid=893653&uts=1276185086See less

(08/22/10) Empty the glue bottle into a bowl. Then fill the bottle halfway with water, shake it to dilute any remaining glue, and add the contents to the bowl. Stir the mixture well. * Inflate the balloon to about 9 inches tall and set it aside in another bowl. * Individually dip the cheesecloth strips into the glue, gently squeeze out the excess fluid, and spread the strips flat on the balloon. Cover the balloon this way, leaving 3 or 4 small gaps (as shown) and a 1 1/2-inch opening around the knot for tying on the spiders later. Let the glue dry, rotating the balloon occasionally to speed the drying process. * Pop the balloon with a pin and remove it. * Tie a loop for hanging the egg at one end of a long piece of fishing line. Near the top of the egg, insert the other end of the line through the cheesecloth, then reach inside and pull it out through a nearby gap and tie a spider to it. Gently pull the line back until the spider comes to rest against the inside of the egg, thereby securing the...See less

(08/22/10) What's a Halloween costume party without blood for special affects? Fake blood is available in novelty and party supply stores but making it yourself is fun -- and you'll see more realistic results. Mix up a batch before a party and keep the local vampires in good supply. Here are some recipes for you to make your own realistic-looking fake blood. Real blood is reddish brown so you may need to alter the amounts of ingredients for the desired affect. Keep in mind, fake blood is messy and some of these recipes may leave stains -- so use with caution and allow plenty of time for drying.See less

(08/22/10) When I mentioned cow tongue to my friends or Chefs, they think I am one of worst eater on few certain meats (calf brain, sweetbreads, pig jowls, and oyster mountains <pig's balls>. Yea, all tasted very divinely good after they are correctly cooked). One day I actually brought sliced cow tongue along with my crackers and mustard for my lunch to work. When I find a table where all employees sat, I made the demo of beef tongues--Lot of fun to watch their faces grimaced in disgust look when they saw me setting it together on cracker and ate noisy, then they left my table. Well, of course, I lost nearly all friends in praise of Beef Tongue and got peaceful lunch break on one sitting. I don't care about what they think about me. I like cow tongue and you should, too.See less

(08/20/10) I decided this year that one of my projects for 2008 would be a new “yet old looking” potion cabinet to place in the kitchen. Last year, I found a vintage hutch witch was painted black and then aged. It definitely was a conversation piece however I feel that it limited what could be done, and was a bit large for the area. So, I decided to build my own and will post pictures shortly! In order to get some inspiration for this project, I decided to start designing some labels for various bottles that would be displayed on the shelves that would be built into the cabinet. A friend sent me some great Photoshop brushes from Deviant Art to help give them that great look. Here are a few (below) that I feel are some of the best I came up with. I look forward to keep you all updated on this project! I’ll post pictures of the shelf within the coming days.See less

(08/20/10) You will need: apples whole cloves a few grains of rice 1/2 C lemon juice 2 tsp. salt Peel a large apple and coat with mixture of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of salt to prevent browning. With a potato peeler or small knife carve out eye sockets, a nose, mouth and ears. Don't worry about carving small details as they will be lost when the apple dries. Go for the big features and nature will take care of the rest. Use whole cloves for eyes and raw rice grains for teeth (the faces also come out looking great without these extra props, just carve and let dry if you want to keep it simple). The photo below left shows our freshly carved apples before drying. Sit apples on a wire rack in a warm, dry place for about 2 weeks. Shape the faces as they shrink and harden. You can speed the drying process a little by drying in an oven set at the lowest temperature. However, the process will still take several days.
