Some of us are not very traditional, and pink fluffy bunnies with pastel plastic eggs just won't suffice. To be used as a gift for yourself or someone else, or as a neat piece of home decor for the season, here are some suggestions on making Creeper Basket...on a budget!<br /><br />First, you need the basket. It does not need to be a traditional woven basket, or even a basket at all A really neat container will work, or try painting a basket black with spray paint. If you are creatively challenged, try one of these:<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/60282518/modern-damask-and-stripe-posh-printable?ref=sr_gallery_39&ga_search_query=black+basket&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/65350018/sale-sounds-of-hawaii-upcycled-record?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=black+basket&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/66559991/recycling-1960s-style?ref=sr_gallery_8&ga_search_query=black+basket&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />Ok, now you have your basket. What's next? It is now time to start thinking of what you would like your color scheme to be. Some kind of fill would be nice. No green plastic pastel "grass" here! Instead, try some moss or recycled fibers. Shred your own paper in black, red, purple, or whatever would match you color scheme. Even one of these ideas would be great:<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/35307709/gothic-halloween-skull-cardstock?ref=sr_gallery_3&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+confetti&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/40608075/lichen-small-natural-authentic-forest?ref=sr_gallery_8&ga_search_query=+dried+moss&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/62057043/oak-moss-cut-and-sifted-try-me-size?ref=sr_gallery_32&ga_search_query=+moss&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/51932534/chrysanthemum-flowers-herbal-miscellany?ref=sr_gallery_28&ga_search_query=+dried+flowers&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />It's starting to really look like something now! But the project is not over, because you still need to fill your basket with gifts and treats. Although they do not need to be the light & bright plastic eggs, this IS an Easter basket. What would it be without eggs of some sort? Here are some non-traditional ideas, that are also beautiful gifts/decor:<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/68180739/rag-eggs-old-fashioned-textile?ref=sr_gallery_22&ga_search_query=black+easter+egg&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/21748455/jet-black-eggs?ref=sr_gallery_35&ga_search_query=black+easter+egg&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/67956304/egg-candles-set-of-3-light-your-way?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_shopname=bizabiz&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+eggs&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />What else? Well you can't go wrong with a stuffed animal! But in this creeper basket, Peter cottontail is not allowed. Maybe try one of these instead:<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/65135230/black-eyed-gray-bunny?ref=sr_gallery_34&ga_search_query=goth+bunny&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/57834909/sale-halloween-plush-bunny-ornament?ref=sr_gallery_26&ga_shopname=Kitcameo&ga_search_query=black+bunny+doll&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/28632500/little-toy-bird-blackbird-knit-chick?ref=sr_gallery_17&ga_search_query=chick+plush&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />Just a couple more steps left! Gotta have treats or candy in your basket. Some of these, perhaps:<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/54319336/dozen-vegan-and-nonvegan-dipped-pretzel?ref=sr_gallery_39&ga_shopname=NattyKnits&ga_search_query=vegan+easter&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/67039056/cookies-and-cream-kandy-kiss?ref=sr_gallery_15&ga_search_query=vegan+candy&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/67552951/2-gem-candy-necklace?ref=sr_gallery_28&ga_search_query=vegan+candy&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />Your basket looks great! Just a few finishing touches, and you are DONE! Feel free to tie a black bow or ribbon to it for a final touch. These goodies would also make great additions to your basket:<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/41070931/gargoyle-egg-trinket-box-real-ceramic?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_shopname=sweetniks&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+easter&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/64833396/aceo-atc-hoodoo-bunny-original-art-card?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_shopname=sweetniks&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+easter&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/66693709/rabbithole-sugar-poppy-seed-scrub-4oz?ref=sr_gallery_17&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+spring&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/40773213/pushing-daisies-undead-flower-heads?ref=sr_gallery_34&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+spring&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/listing/52639493/wonderland-mini-print-magnets-extra-set?ref=sr_gallery_13&ga_shopname=CoffinCritters&ga_search_query=etsydarkteam+rabbit&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=<br /><br />There!

Consecrated by a real Witch (me) for good luck and protection<br /><br />*Graveyard Dust Skull-bottle is shaped like a skull, and the dust has been harvested from a real graveyard. Blending with a protective mixture, which adds a bit of sparkle.<br /><br />*Vampire Dust-An Ankh will appear on the front of the bottle. The dust is a deep sparkling red, like crystallized blood!<br /><br />*Zombie Guts Dust-the bottle has a zombie face on the front, male or female. The dust is a sparkly mixture combined with Graveyard Dust and with little "brain" fragments!<br /><br />Thank you to all of my past, present and future customers!faerydustpixyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659106571169130486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410730936009553280.post-10293893774259114472011-01-11T21:26:00.000-08:002011-01-11T21:39:08.230-08:00FREE!

If you do not have a Facebook, or do not want to become a fan, I will include this service (with the charm) for free with any order placed with my <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.faerydustpixy.etsy.com/">Gossamer Hollow</a> or <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.coffincritters.etsy.com/">Coffin Critters</a> shops. No minimum to order. Thanks for understanding!*<br /><br /><h6 class="uiStreamMessage" ft="{"type":"msg"}"><span class="messageBody">To thank my FB fans for your support, I am offering to perform a free Celebrate Life/Messages to the Dead ritual for you on Samhain.<br /><br />We have all lost people we love to the inevitable course of life. With October 31st being known as the day when the veil between the living and dead is the thinnest, it is the perfect time to speak to them.<br /><br />As a practicing solitary Wiccan or more than 10 years, I always perform a ritual on this day to honor the Dead. If you would like to participate, I will do the same for you and help to send your own personal messages to your loved ones! Be rest assured that this Ritual will be practiced ethically and with the best of intentions. If you would like to participate, please do the following:<br /><br />*Email a message for your loved one to me at: gh-artdesign@hotmail.com. Put "Samhain Ritual" as the subject line. Any email without this subject line will not be opened. You may send it from an unsigned, anonymous email address if you want to keep your identity private. There is no need for me to know who you are.<br /><br />*ONLY include messages that are positive and respectful, and written with good intentions. Any messages with negative or ill-spirited meanings will not be used.<br /><br />*Your message should be fairly short-think of it as a brief letter. Maybe share with your loved one a great accomplishment, give them a compliment, let them know what they meant (or still mean) to you, whatever you are feeling. It can be a sentence or a short paragraph but please limit the length of your message.<br /><br />*I will be printing out your message. If you would like the actual printed message used in the ritual to be mailed back to you, please contact me. I will simply ask that you send me money to cover a postage stamp. Unclaimed printed messages will be burned or buried.<br /><br />*Again, this is a thank-you and there is NO purchase necessary! However, if you would like a special charm made in Remembrance of the ritual, I would be happy to do so for $7.50 (including USPS first class shipping to US address-no insurance included). It is a nice piece for you to hold onto or wear in honor of your Loved One. With any luck, it will also be infused with their energy as they pass through the Land of the Living during the ritual. Email me if you would like this.<br /><br />If you have any questions, please email me!<br /><br />Looking forward to helping you in honor of your loved ones. Thank you for your continued support, and Merry Samhain!</span></h6>faerydustpixyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659106571169130486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410730936009553280.post-70131154648014090872010-10-17T17:10:00.000-07:002010-10-18T09:38:09.204-07:00New Logo, NEW CONTEST!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BO0eEwkcf3rRujt1CHvEc34w4GA19KdzsgsiaRVsZHQoshIfrGDLxg_ur6eo_AseleUXQKmXOB8Kt8nS1DbrQOxzuDJOoi6N96Cd-bSOfVCO0VDpKrfNd0EqHXwXKwz4rUQrkTv41U94/s1600/New_CCLogo_opt4.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BO0eEwkcf3rRujt1CHvEc34w4GA19KdzsgsiaRVsZHQoshIfrGDLxg_ur6eo_AseleUXQKmXOB8Kt8nS1DbrQOxzuDJOoi6N96Cd-bSOfVCO0VDpKrfNd0EqHXwXKwz4rUQrkTv41U94/s320/New_CCLogo_opt4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529426281322784514" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmHeEJc_gY6V7n_SLjitGnRH4LQAWbWmFCEm3oHU2xblo4mt0bdq899BM-2lBDk6kqeDKhm_PMBMjvBcg3f8oxbSWnM6OHzwIMzkhr3JV-nGK1sOxAVoUq1nqjnoWl1igxXdn1EDbdC2A_/s1600/New_CCLogo_opt3.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmHeEJc_gY6V7n_SLjitGnRH4LQAWbWmFCEm3oHU2xblo4mt0bdq899BM-2lBDk6kqeDKhm_PMBMjvBcg3f8oxbSWnM6OHzwIMzkhr3JV-nGK1sOxAVoUq1nqjnoWl1igxXdn1EDbdC2A_/s320/New_CCLogo_opt3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529175038823613698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLF-o8iX7vpFNX5D83PIl5QgREB6fBnaw6ZJewUFBAgcrzGKsW8JDvg8zmVHu9jCc_3fv0QnagKTAbEJ2iGCvQS_QRxZurlgS3gGEMFsujbP5o-igdDNWRbPndNk8LgDlGusvbGLcLJ1B/s1600/New_CCLogo_opt2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 297px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLF-o8iX7vpFNX5D83PIl5QgREB6fBnaw6ZJewUFBAgcrzGKsW8JDvg8zmVHu9jCc_3fv0QnagKTAbEJ2iGCvQS_QRxZurlgS3gGEMFsujbP5o-igdDNWRbPndNk8LgDlGusvbGLcLJ1B/s320/New_CCLogo_opt2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529175034813854162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09g-MTWhAPQKxPuYsb8sb5s-tiNi9_AitcDUu4MdIBCSWdtoAuYFOd_9cQNxQD8DhzLYPt2KR-s1UVForrezIBN510DbwL9sre2bSE6tNDlcVwi9gHYgjm7Q3AVBS2BkZWQPqDVR4ZRe2/s1600/New_CCLogo_opt1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09g-MTWhAPQKxPuYsb8sb5s-tiNi9_AitcDUu4MdIBCSWdtoAuYFOd_9cQNxQD8DhzLYPt2KR-s1UVForrezIBN510DbwL9sre2bSE6tNDlcVwi9gHYgjm7Q3AVBS2BkZWQPqDVR4ZRe2/s320/New_CCLogo_opt1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529175033449208674" border="0" /></a><br />Gossamer Hollow, LLC and Coffin Critters are undergoing a minor makeover!

He is a symbol of wealth, accomplishment, confidence, reliability. Although he doesn't come with all of the other items in these photos, he comes with an official signature card signed by the artist. Not including the cork topper, he is 2.5" high and a wonderful decoration or addition to your sacred space.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">One extra note:</span> Because of the cost of shipping to other countries and the delicate nature of this item, I am limiting the chance to win this Coffin Critter to US and Canada residents only.

But now I am back, and armed with a brand new Macbook Pro so watch out!<br /><br />To celebrate my return to the cyber world, I'm kicking things off with a new contest! And this one is EASY. Really, it is. All you need to do is:<br /><br />1) Become a <a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);" href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=lf#%21/pages/GossamerHollow/177873799537">fan on facebook</a>. If you are already a fan, then you're done with step one!<br /><br />2) Leave a blog comment on any of my posts, <span style="font-style: italic;">except for this one</span>. You can comment on this one too, but it won't count toward the contest.<br /><br />That's it! Simple, right?<br /><br />Ok, so what you get is really cool. You will get a Mini Me Coffin Critter! Yup, a little undead cutie made to resemble you. Do you have blue hair? A goatee? piercings? Your critter will reflect you as closely as possible, while still mainting the classic critter style (Artist's discretion). How cute would that be? Oh! And your name will even appear on the lid of the coffin.<br /><br />So that we are clear, you need to be a facebook fan and leave a blog comment. You have until April 30th to do so! Then the winner will be chosen at random and announced on this blog.<br /><br />So...what are you waiting for?

I'm sure it would have taken an experienced stitcher half the time it took me, but it was fun...I might make more dolls in the future!faerydustpixyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07659106571169130486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410730936009553280.post-8225408537962833622009-12-16T08:29:00.000-08:002010-03-29T19:41:04.472-07:00Tree Creepers in action!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3tU_kowYglvru4Dn6rHKfjGsp3SXYzOH8kH5W-eXj2o2EnyFfEM5ltFkczXptQ0md_cWFuzWFhQjWrkPQ806zgCy_r2tP0sZ_VEzgmTsWnx1eftiaWizBFWezua_lX5wgMW86V1TU1Dl/s1600-h/get_convo_image2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 174px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3tU_kowYglvru4Dn6rHKfjGsp3SXYzOH8kH5W-eXj2o2EnyFfEM5ltFkczXptQ0md_cWFuzWFhQjWrkPQ806zgCy_r2tP0sZ_VEzgmTsWnx1eftiaWizBFWezua_lX5wgMW86V1TU1Dl/s320/get_convo_image2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415892368284624898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-n1EOohAlAA3unijwxO_AGJSkwII6kMoCEL6khG9ywvihr_ltKbz2D-UtoUxF3he_3cPgz8l4bfJtZtLcoUNi06RQMt12km57ExrHqEvL83MnHRuwRmcUx7vGPVDaCNNKxvRRmcxDQiO/s1600-h/get_convo_image.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-n1EOohAlAA3unijwxO_AGJSkwII6kMoCEL6khG9ywvihr_ltKbz2D-UtoUxF3he_3cPgz8l4bfJtZtLcoUNi06RQMt12km57ExrHqEvL83MnHRuwRmcUx7vGPVDaCNNKxvRRmcxDQiO/s320/get_convo_image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415892253726032098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWHlJZopZFZ3u0eovtwYqTd82T_sqjKixoPS_-tIIQsMRcvsy2MIany65_QGknzunK3QTA8KoU_VttUjwbniRZooT8n6dMkQ7rTfmne1qihCS3VHe6aSG4L2uQqMb5kx5UJvchmoTOwQU/s1600-h/photo(5).jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilWHlJZopZFZ3u0eovtwYqTd82T_sqjKixoPS_-tIIQsMRcvsy2MIany65_QGknzunK3QTA8KoU_VttUjwbniRZooT8n6dMkQ7rTfmne1qihCS3VHe6aSG4L2uQqMb5kx5UJvchmoTOwQU/s320/photo(5).jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415892153086681202" border="0" /></a><br />I have a few photos from happy customers who haunted their trees!

The answers will either be in the first photo of the item or name of the item (that way you can find the answers at a glance) or in my shop announcements! Each entry with 100% correct answers uncovers a fun little surprise to be sent via etsy convo or email. :)<br /><br />*RULES*:<br /><br /><br /><br />*Hunt for the answers in the following shops:<br /><a style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" href="http://coffincritters.etsy.com/"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">CoffinCritters</span></a><br /><a style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);" href="http://gossamerhollowear.etsy.com/">GossamerHollowear</a><br /><a href="http://faerydustpixy.etsy.com/"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">GossamerHollow</span></a><br /><br />*Send a convoto me through etsy or an email to gh-artdesign@hotmail.com with your answers. DO NOT post them here or others will see your answers!<br /><br />*Most of the answers will be clearly visible in my shop listings. IMPORTANT HINT: don't forget to check the "sold" section! Items that are sold between now and the drawing will be in with my sold orders.<br /><br />*All correct entries will be placed in a hat for a drawing on New Year's Day, January 1st<br /><br />WHAT WILL YOU WIN? That is the big question, right? A custom piece of art will be created for you based on your New Year's Resolution! I will send the winner a short questionnaire with likes/dislikes and their resolution theme. Leave the rest up to me! Not making a resolution? Give me a theme to work with instead!<br /><br />The questions:<br /><br />1) I listed 4 items in CoffinCritters on 11-23-2009. Name one of them.<br /><br />2) I am closing one of these shops. Which shop is it, and name your favorite item from that shop.<br /><br />3) I sell art prints. Give me the names of two of them.<br /><br />4) What is the name of my unicorn doll/sculpture?<br /><br />5) What colors are in my FLOURISH handpainted handbag?<br /><br />6) Name one of my spell kits.<br /><br />7) How many dragons am I selling in my GossamerHollow shop?<br /><br />8) What do I offer for FREE with my Tree Creepers?<br /><br />9) Why is Cadavra being offered at a discounted price?<br /><br />10) Finish the name of this item: "Steampunk Flower________".<br /><br />11) Name an item being offered at a "GREAT PRICE".<br /><br />12) What is on Daemon Seed's coffin (besides him)?<br /><br />13) What is the name of the shoes I am selling?<br /><br />14) "Bathory in Blood" is a portrait of what type of fantasy/mytholigical creature?<br /><br />15) What is the name of my Zombie Pixie Sculpture doll?<br /><br />Thanks everyone and good luck!!!
