Project: Scarecrow Face CraftStick Keepsake with Satin Cord!
$2 Processing fee, please

Scarecrow: I’d unravel any riddle, For any individ’le, In trouble or in pain…
Dorothy: With the thoughts you’d be thinkin’ You could be another Lincon If you only had a brain

To celebrate the arrival of fall weather, we have a handsome little assortment of popsicle sticks and adhesive foam shapes that form a decorative fall keepsake in the form of a scarecrow’s face! It’s just darling, and it’ll scare away any pests lingering around your garden or your office or your front door.

Daylight savings is here! You know, the practice of turning the clocks back an hour to make it easier for people in 1918 to tend to their crops? It’s here! Just like McRib, Fall is BACK, and it’s darker, rainier and colder than ever! Get in here and we’ll warm you up, Akbar style!

See you at the Craft Table,

Halloween Frames • October 8th, 2014

October 07

price_eggs

This Wednesday, October 8th, 2014 from 9pm to midnight or later at Akbar it’s CRAFTNIGHT!!!
Project: Halloween Keepsake Frames
$2 Processing fee, please
$4 Drink Special is The Lyla, a refreshing whiskey/ginger beer specialty, the toast of Silverlake!
UPCOMING
•    Oct. 15th – 9pm Black Light CraftNight DANCE PARTY with DJ Kenefunkport and GLO-KRAFTS!

•    Oct. 29th – 9pm Pumpkin Carving Karaoke Carnival!
INTERNET ART SPECIAL
Visit Gothtober! Why? Special Blood Moon Craft Project Download by Billy Kheel for DAY 8, but also, in the words of Homo Jedi, Wendell Jones:

See super cool horror videos by local tree hugging, eco friendly, anti-authoritarian, often feminist or LGBTQ malcontents and some occasionally very cool kids, all who are intent on destroying normality! Go to the link and each day a new treat will be revealed!

It’s a FULL MOON and it’s the BLOOD HUNTER MOON on October 8th! What does it mean to have a Blood Moon? Lunar eclipse, nothing more, except it is the fourth and last of the year, and some believe that this has special significance, and maybe it does!

Some people (not us) will see the deep red eclipse covering the moon, but for the rest of us, we’re just going to gaze at that bright white globe and enjoy it’s brilliant ghostly light.

It’s early yet in the month, so this week, I’ve got Halloween frames for you to make for yourself or a loved one. I’ll have the polaroid to take a snapshot of you ($1 please, polaroid film is expensive!) and you can mail your keepsake far away or hand it over to someone who will be delighted to have it!

This moon is also called the Falling Leaf Moon or Shedding Moon, and indeed, have you noticed the extra dryness in the weather, the crackle, the sharp crisp blue of the sky? Winter is on the horizon, and though it is hot, it’s going to cool down, change is in the air. It is said that the veil between the spirit world and our world is at its thinnest in October.
