One more burst of Pumpkin love... And I won!

I had the urge to create just a couple more Halloween pieces before the season is over :)  I started with this orange and black cuff.  I wanted a grungey, goth piece to wear for Halloween that would be a conversation starter.  I layered fabrics, ribbons and used black sketch stitching to hold it all together.  A button closure secures it on the wrist.  I love that the colors are muted and not "in your face" orange and black.


Then I felt like making a couple little gifts for the season.  I made these pumpkin pins or brooches from layered, hand dyed fabrics and free motion machine quilting.  I simply sketched them as I went!  I made a set of 4 and gave one to my mom and the other is on it's way to a lovely bloggy friend ;)   I think it's too late to put these in my Etsy store, but if anyone is interested in purchasing one, I can hook you up!  I feel pumpkins go through fall and into Thanksgiving. Maybe that's because I'm such a big fan of them?

I must have created good karma by having a giveaway! I won a giveaway, just as mine finished up!  The Blog Guide Book is hosting a Pin it and Win it contest and I was their first winner! I get a copy of this poster! YAY!
It will look great in my studio, I'm excited for it to arrive :D

Your layered and stitched cuff is fabulous and definitely a conversation starter. It is always the best to wear what you create so others can avail themselves of your talents. Happy Haunting...

The cuff is amazing, more an eye-popper than just conversation starter. Congrats on your win too.
enJOY a lovely day,
Kimberly
