Because I absolutely cannot post stuff in order or on time, apparently.
Halloween 2024 seems like a thousand years ago now. But I did some cool stuff, and I want to share it with the largely uncaring universe.
The front yard ofrenda with its table of lanterns, silk flowers, candy, and glowsticks was *the best yet*. I’m going to work hard to top it in 2025.
Some of the dreamy orange and purple ribbon-decked LED lanterns, hanging in my front yard.
Against blue western twilight, another view of lanterns and beaded garlands, hanging from desert trees.
Forest yokai! The haunting spooky centerpiece, a forest spirit with a head made of a metal basket filled with LED vine garlands. The body is draped white poly burnout fabric, LED rainbow cape. Top of metal basket is hidden by a floppy straw hat hanging with bells and floral tassels. The spirit appears to stand/float in a ring of wooden beads accented by yellow silk sunflowers.
Daylight view of the spirit.
The ofrenda table itself!
I had fun.
We needed it.
