Getting into the Hallowe’en Spirit in the Neighbourhood

Yesterday Kevin and I went shopping for our Hallowe’en treats to shell out this Friday. We’re feeling a little behind this year because of our recent trip to the UK. We did purchase our pumpkins before we left but we left them in the house so that the squirrels couldn’t feast on them.

The neighbours, however, started putting out their decorations at the beginning of October.

Macro Monday – Close-ups of Beadwork

from the Storehouse in London to the Toronto Art Fair

These close-ups come from this 12th century German made banner. The banner itself is not large, roughly 3 inches by 8 inches.

The following beadwork was on the back of a denim jacket that was on display at the Toronto Art Fair.
