Halloween Prop Potion Bottles



Halloween Prop Potion Bottles
I finally got around taking some photos of my "real size" potion bottles. I made these just for fun to display around my house. I have been collecting the bottles for a long time. I had WAY too much fun making them.
The labels are the same labels I made for my miniatures. I thought it might be fun for everyone to see a larger version of the graphic. You can see much more of the details.
I hope to add more every year. I still need to fill a few of the bottles. Trying to deiced what would be best liquid to use? Maybe I will have to dump them out and refill them every year. Today I bought one of fake snakes that grow larger when you put them in water. I am going to try and use them in one of the bottles. I do keep a vanity in my room with Halloween theme items all year around. But I kind of have a raven or black bird them for my Halloween decor.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have some photos to sow of my new "mini" potion bottles. I have spend too much time playing with my real size bottles.

I just realized I forgot to put my "black death" potion bottle in the photo. It has a rubber rat inside:-)

Miniature Vampire Hunter Cabinet



First I would like to say thanks so much for all the welcomes on my first post..

Something for Halloween...

Miniature Vampire Hunter Cabinet - I really like how this turned out so I thought I would show it off. I made the whole thing form scratch. It is a version of my Apothecary Cabinet. I wanted to find a way to incorporate a vampire skull into a vampire hunting kit. I think it worked out well and it has a bit of Victorian look to it.
