About this design:
Well there is nothing like going over board with the Halloween things. The funny things with wings are gargoyles. I have another pair that I think I'll highlight with a silvery purple so they can be Gargirls.
Sold the spiders and the frogs yesterday. No farmers market next week. The city of La Mesa has a BIG OctoberFest the first week end in October so we won't try to compete with them. But I'll have these new Halloween Things ready for the following week.
Components:
pewter spiders, mystery metal witches and gargoyles, acrylic sea horses, Czech glass, gunmetal findings and chainRead the comments (or add your own)

Nancy Mc, You are right about the gargoyles they do look like the flying monkeys! How fun is that? I have another pair I just finished. They are accented with white and light purple…. TA DAH! Gargirles.
