A Few of Ghoul's Favorite Things

Ghosts in white sheets who are who are bleached, washed, and pressed.
Witches who fly on their brooms, over-dressed.
Goblins who feast on hot deep fried bat wings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Bones picked quite clean by the local town buzzard.
Skulls who remind you of Great Uncle Fuzzard.
Spiders who lurk by the dark bathtub rings.
These are a few of my favorite things!

Scarecrows who dance while the full moon is shining.
Witches who waltz while deep spells they're divining.
Cauldrons that bubble with brew the witch brings.
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the hound bays, when the cat howls,
When ghosts clank their chains
I simply remember my favorite things
And sit down to dine on brains!

Bond. James Bond.

In the past, OctoKitty was the beautiful head of a ring of jewel smugglers who wanted to start a nuclear war in their down time. She was an arch-nemesis of James Bond.

But OctoKitty has done time and is a new woman...er, spider... er, cat.

Photobucket


She no longer wants to start a nuclear war, but she is inordinately fond of jewels and beads and bling. That will never change.

OctoKitty is made from lampwork glass, pewter bead caps, bugle beads, and seed beads. She is beaded, legged, and dangerous... if you happen to have a Faberge egg lying around.

She is living in a rehab house at etsy.

Blanche du Bwahahahahahaha

Meet my latest spider creation, Blanche du Bwahahahahahaha. I made a beaded web strand for Blanche so that she can hang alluringly on the wall, be taken for a walk, be worn as an ornament, or be safely tethered to one spot.

Blanche has had a rough life. She lost her mate a few months back. No... she didn't bite his head off. She's not that kind of spider. He lost his life in a tragic accident. Rolled-up L.A. Times. (It could have been worse. It could have been the rolled-up L.A. Times before they downsized it.) She found herself with 543 beady babies to raise all on her own.

Then she lost her web. Yep. Foreclosure. Sign of the times. She got into one of those Re-Fi now loans. There's no way she could make the payments, especially with her husband gone. And she's not as young as she used to be. It's not like she can pull all that spider silk out of her... well, maybe she can. But not as quickly as before.

Photobucket

Fortunately the kids are grown now, weaving webs of their own. Blanche can finally relax a little. Take it easy.

Photobucket


Her requirements are few: a couple of beaded flies, a web to call home, maybe a pig to watch over. Can you help. Adoption is available right here.
