one last fun fright…
it’s hard to see in the light, but this vintage portrait (recycled from last year) was made spooky in the twilight by removing the image from the frame and piercing the eyes with an ice pick. (gruesome!) two battery operated tea lights were taped behind the holes creating a menacing, red glow from the eyes of the grinning lady…who, quite frankly, was already perfect for Halloween! everyone loved the effect which appeared as the light dimmed…
Spooky!
so many simple ideas to enjoy!
