Zombie Outbreak & Keep Out Plaques

I've been doing a few new plaques for my up and coming Pumpkin Patch Craft Fair, here are a few just hanging around waiting for the varnish to dry.....


Making Plaques

The Zombie Outbreak Response Team plaque with the biohazard symbol seems to be the most popular thus far,

Some have been burned around the edges using a blowtorch, I think I must be a bit of a pyrotechnic on the quiet because I always enjoy that part, I always varnish after the burning to keep everything clean.

Keep Out Plaque

Some have been done with the girlies in mind... every year I get plaque requests for pink or purple scull and cross bones and no self respecting girlie scull would be seen without a bow.

Before I hop over to the Handmade Harbours blog hop I thought I'd share a picture of a lovely autumn crop...


A great apple crop


A yummy Red Apple

For me, a sure sign of autumns approach is apple pie and custard, apple fritters, spiced apple cake...... mmmm the list goes on


Have a great week

  2. It has been a fantastic year for apples - apparently due to all the (now I can call it that) lovely rain we had earlier this year. I knew it had to be good for something. I love the plaques, especially the Zombie outbreak one. Hope you have a good week.

  6. I'm sure the Zombie plaques will be a great success - all things zombie are the "in thing" at the moment.

    Mr Gertie came home from work the other day with a bag full of apple, just like yours, from a colleagues tree. I didn't know whether that was a hint for me to make a pie or crumble... xx
