Halloween Lantern Parade (week 2)

The first set of lanterns have vanished around the corner - and here comes the next parade participants of week 2. (Following is more from the summer lantern sale liquidating Bindlegrim's studio stock of vintage-style 2012 lanterns.

But first, how about some decorating ideas with black crepe paper and a Bindlegrim lantern, displayed for autumn with rusty antique objects, surplus wooden boxes, vintage lighting,  and an authentic early century paper Jack O'Lantern pumpkin?

 

Lantern pictured above is from Series #6 The Horrid Decor, #2 Pus & Bruise on Ghost Skin (unsold on Etsy, now in the permanent collection of the artist). However, there is another one of these designs listed this week in Hitchcock Blue on Ghost Skin (see below).

Here is stock as it stands as of this blog posting July 10th, 2013 :

And here are the following 2 lanterns (from the list) that will end Sunday, July 14th, 2013.

1: The Space Witches: (one of 2 left) - The imagery for this lantern was based on Fifties plastic candy containers of witches and rockets, expanded to see what happens when witches (and their cats) reach outer space - like white mice running loose inside your space helmet - or what if your cat gets stuck on the moon?! It's a cyclonic cavalcade of electrifying horror! (A personal fave - I did a poor job of letting these go last year).  BINDLEGRIM Vintage-Style Lantern #2/5 WITCH & CAT in SPACE Steampunk Halloween

2: The Horrid Decor: (a non-limited edition but last of these on hand) - This series was not originally created as a limited edition, however there were only about 5 made, and is each a bit of a rarity since the colors and window-pane materials varied. The third in colors blue & white were inspired by some spooky illustrations found in old Hitchcock short story collection from the sixties.  Vintage-Style Lantern #3 THE HORRID DECOR Blue-White Halloween Design BINDLEGRIM
