Where We Go From Here....

 Where we go from here is anybody's guess. For whatever reason, no real inspiration was coming for this craft and I just needed to be done with it so, I gathered what I already had and sat down and just started.

I decided that since so many of the vintage characters have those ruffled crepe paper collars I would go ahead and add one to the wood round I decided to use. I could have "sewn" the paper to make a more even ruffle but again, my heart just wasn't in this today. I just squirted on some hot glue and used my fingers and the little glue tool to "squish" the paper into ruffles.

Then I glued on the Halloween scrapbook paper I had chosen just using Tacky glue. I'm not sure why this paper spoke to me out of all of those that I have but after getting a closer look I realized that this paper has the same kind of faux "crackle" effect that the cat has. Neither of them are very pronounced yet they are there. The paper also has the cat eyes and small spiders so it's cute but I think it was the colors and the scale of the design that made me chose it.

Once that was dry, I had to decide on the trim. At his point I had already ruled out a black tinsel and a thinner vintage silver tinsel. I draped these two on and again, for whatever reason, I decided to go with the orange/black/ clear "tinsel" that I bought a number of years ago at my favorite shop in Micanopy. In the past I have used it in my decor as a base for other things but it has been in my Halloween stash for awhile now so I decided it was time to let it have its day. Lol

Once I had that all hot glued on I added some $Tree "jenga" blocks to raise the image...

...and here we are. The only problem is that I have no idea where to go next. I didn't add a hanger because I don't know if it will. It really shouldn't lean because it will bend the ruffle on the bottom but...???

And so I wait...and so do you. You'll be the first to know if this craft fail challenge ever finds a home. Lol Stay safe and stay tuned.
