From a post at UltimatePaperMache, these pumpkins were made with, yep – you guessed it, good old fashioned Paper Maché. The technique has improved slightly over the years – these pumpkins are sturdy enough to display outside with Christmas lights instead of candles!

Richard’s designs over at Amalgamate Works never cease to intrigue me – often leaning towards the grotesque and macabre, this is a fine example of the sort of work we can always count on from him. This creepy Jack in the Box seems to have crawled right out of a horror flick with it’s almost lifelike welded steel composition.

Loopy Boopy’s handcrafted dolls are truly one of a kind pieces – though her Etsy Shop holds a variety of these spooky creations, “Penelope the Ghost of St. Phillip” truly stood out. Hand sculpted from polymer clay, it’s one of a series of French Quarter Ghosts that appear to be more for decoration than for play, but she would certainly serve as an eye-catching piece in anyone’s Halloween decor.

Have you been up to anything crafty for Halloween?
