I thought I'd take a one post break from the Bachman's Fall Ideas House- you can visit the last couple of posts here to catch up, if you've missed them! Lately I've seen many fun projects using globes! I remembered a project I did several years ago for Halloween and decided to share it as a simple project! Just find a globe at a thrift store or garage sale- doesn't matter if the globe surface is damaged and newer ones work fine, too. I painted it out in a golden tone, and antiqued it to look like a harvest moon. You can see one side of the globe isn't perfect...
Martha Stewart has a great Witch Silhouette on her site! It's pictured below...There's a template there which can also be re-sized for windows. I decided to use it for my moon.
I used a standard graphite paper transfer to the globe for the template, and painted the witch with black craft paint. If you leave the painted globe on the globe stand, it looks like the witch is flying around when you spin it!
I decided to take mine off the stand this year and put it on top of a tall, chunky, black wood candlestick! I'm thinking I need to do a big "Man In The Moon" face next! So many fun possibilities!
I am joining Kim at Savvy Southern Style's Wow Us Wednesday
and
Angie at Knick of Time Tuesdays
Until next time...

This is awesome Linda! Now I must go find an old globe or orb of some sort!! Love this!!!
Pretty cool! I just came across an old, but not good globe, that my parents had. It's all faded and just on a crummy plastic stand...perfect for this! I was wondering what I could do with it not wanting to just throw it out.
Way cute!
Such a great idea! Now I'm off to get caught up on your last few posts!

What a fun idea, Linda! Yes, the man in the moon would be perfect for your next project! I suppose you could use an old bowling ball for this project too, but that might get kinda heavy:)
Really, really cute idea, Linda! I may just have to try this. Do you think my hubby would mind if I borrowed the great big one in his office?;>) xo Diana
Oh, that looks great, Linda :)
That is fabulous! I really like it.
Have a great day! Cindy
Linda, this is such a good use of a globe! Darn, I got rid of one about a year ago. I'll just have to pick one up on half off thrift store day!
Really fun....aren't you clever? ;) Laurel
What a great idea. I love the whitch on it. Adorable.
I'm thinking I like this Linda. I like this very much. Clever you!
That is such a cool idea... would love to see her in action flying around the world on your globe

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.
This is a fabulous idea. I have a couple of globes....just don't know if I can't paint over them. Now you've got me thinking about what else round I could use.
Perfect project, thanks for sharing.
