Spookies

Hello dear readers

Last week, we took a little vacation visiting my home town Haifa.  I'm always happy to go there and reunite with some of childhood friends with whom we keep in touch.  We returned on Friday to stay home for the Day of Atonement - Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur is a day when everything comes to a stop. No
transportation, public or private, except for emergencies. No open restaurants or cinemas, theaters or other entertainment.    Religious people fast on this day.  Those
who are not strictly believers eat but try not to offend the others.  No local broadcasting on TV and
Radios except for foreign channels. It's also a day when you ask pardon from anyone you offended.

It's really relaxing to be able to sleep late without having to listen to noisy traffic outside.   Friends and family can arrive unexpected and a good time is had by all.

Today is back to normal and I can show you a few of the spooky minis I collected for Halloween.

The sculls are plastic beads. The gold plated necklaces, bought two years ago, are scull masks.  The earrings were very cheap, about $0.25 each pair.

I painted the golden sculls with acrylic beige and "dirtied" the too white beads with a brown wash.

I have to find a better way to make ghosts.

I forgot to show you this photo of me at the exposition entrance.

Here are some pictures from the internet of the Haifa beautiful Bahian Gardens.

Now I'll go visit your blogs and see what I missed.

Blessings
