AUTUMN IS IN THE AIR

And it's a great time to display creative candles.  These 7 3/4" jack-o-lanterns were poured in a two-part plastic mold.  The witch hats first in black (which have faded some as you can see in the picture) and then re-poured and partially cured to prevent mixing of the colors, before casting the pumpkins in orange.  The faces were applied with acrylic paint. 

An old basket, recyled, works well to show off a witch from the thrift store, silk flowers and candy-container  jack-o-lanterns.
