			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I used to make a lot of copper foil stained glass but it&#8217;s rather tedious, toxic, and requires a dedicated work area unless you want glass shards all over your house.  On one of my journeys to the craft store I bought a ton of this Gallery Glass stuff which is just a liquid that you can use to make cool stained glass-like art.</p>
<p>I recently made a spiderweb and a Jack O Lantern scene. I did them on the 8&#215;10 glass from a store-bought picture frame and then hung them up with fishing line in my window:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/spider-glass.jpg" rel="lightbox[31]"><img border="0" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-44" title="spider-glass" src="http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/spider-glass-218x300.jpg" alt="Spiderweb stained glass" width="218" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pumpkin-gallery-glass-v2.jpg" rel="lightbox[31]"><img border="0" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-42" title="pumpkin-gallery-glass-v2" src="http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/pumpkin-gallery-glass-v2-280x300.jpg" alt="Pumpkin in graveyard stained glass (gallery glass) " width="280" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>On the spider one I painted it on with craft acrylic after I had finished the main design. </p>
<p>This stuff is fun and easy and the best part is if you mess up a bit, you can easily cut out the part you don&#8217;t like with an exacto blade and redo that area &#8211; I did that on several sections of the pumpkin one and it ended up looking great in my window&#8230;it won&#8217;t last as long or have the same effect as real stained glass, but it&#8217;s about 1/100th of the effort so for now I am going to make a bunch more of these things <img src='http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m gunna post at least 3 different craft-type things I&#8217;ve had fun making in these days leading up to Halloween. The first was the easiest to make but was super fun and I&#8217;ll keep it up year-round cuz I love the way it looks.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/halloween-floral.jpg" rel="lightbox[40]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-41" title="halloween-floral" src="http://www.darkandcreepy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/halloween-floral-211x300.jpg" alt="Halloween floral arrangement" width="211" height="300" border="0"/></a></p>
<p>I have been going to Michael&#8217;s craft store a lot lately, I love the drive out there (here in Santa Barbara) and they have a lot of cool stuff. Almost everything I used for this floral thingy was on sale, I had no idea what I was doing but I looked at their pre-made arrangements to get some ideas, bought some mini pumpkins, pomegranates, black and burgandy flowers, and some peppercorn-looking things, and stuck &#8216;em all in some styrofoam stuff in this cool urn thing that was 60% off&#8230;fun!</p>
