Skeletons and skulls! Day 7

Whilst ghosts come high on the list of Halloween spooks, skeletons play a big part too, so for today's themed post, we have skeletons and skulls!
Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci!

These skeletons can be found at stumble upon! Although the link doesn't actually take you to the skeletons! I couldn't find them on there. Click on them below to either save to your pc or to view the anatomy.
These skull favour bags were made with a potato print. Simples.

I LOVE these skeleton hand salad servers. They are from a store in USA called Pottery Barn. They were also on eBay but are a 'hard to find' product apparently.

Candles are something widely used at Halloween, take a look at these - very neon and sure to be seen - lit or not.
When it comes to food for my parties, I do like to make a good impression and if there is anything that would shock more - it is this meat head! LOL. I LOVE it and it will definately be on my Halloween table - alongside the Guacamoldy! *Ü*
The recipe can be found here - scroll down...(along with a different photo which I didn't like the overall appearance). The pic above is one I found earlier but I can't find the recipe to it. It turns out the same though. *Ü* I bought the skeleton head from Wilkinson - £1.58 and after washing it thoroughly, will cover it with clingwrap, then a layer of Phillidelphia cream cheese, then layer the meat slices over the top. I bought some Prosciutto ham yesterday. Make sure to check that your food products 'use by' date is well into November or your meat head will be well and truly putrid! *Ü*

Back in 2005, I found a skeleton - PDF on the Ben and Jerry website which I made and added to my Halloween tag albums for each of my daughters.

Lastly...this  Skull a day blog has been going for a few years and has a skull for every day. Noah Scalin began by making an orange paper skull back in 2007 and it went from there. His ode to Steve Jobs is on there too...just scroll down. Today's skull is this one by Chuck Scalin - aptly name 'Tacky'! It's for sale...if you have a 'spare' $275.00!!!

Have a Fab Friday ...I'm off to Wilkinson's to get me a broom...of a different kind...I shall reveal all in another post. Check in soon. *Ü*

Eugh! That meat head is so appalling to look at... guess you gotta love something that yucky *lol* Maybe making it early, and having go rotten would really add to the Hallows Eve feel to it. It may also keep the annoying kids from knocking the door more than once when they get a whiff of it! *lol*
