SPOOKtacular Parlor Mantle {Halloween 2013}

 

Thanks for coming into the parlor! Yesterday, you viewed the spooktacular entry chest. Today, I’ll share the parlor mantle.

I was so happy months ago when I spotted these scientific mercury glass flasks and beakers on a blog by The Paris Market. I knew I’d have to make a few mine to be used in October’s Halloween decor. I quickly contacted Michelle, manager of shipping, and had several sent my way.

On the lower mantle, two large Erlenmeyer flasks sit at various levels, one stacked on a collection of my vintage books. A holographic photograph adds some eeriness to the vignette.

Two battery candles with a raven and spider add Halloween spirit to the mantle.

Glittery hands and chains, preserved bugs, faux barbed wire, and a mercury glass beaker and pumpkin complete the Halloween mantlescape.

A gray chenille web connects the double mantle complete with glittery spiders.

On the upper mantle, glittery chains, and skull & crossbones votives add some Halloween flair.

I hope you enjoy my mantle as it is great in adding the Halloween spirit throughout the month of October.

  2. Ron this is SOOKtacular for sure! It's like a mad scientists laboratory...love the mercury glass beakers and the skull votives! The chain and barbed wire add a little "tension" to the scene and the holographic woman makes you look twice! The giant cob web and spiders make it feel really old and creepy- I love imaginative creations like this- Great job!
