Lolle ☾ A R T : halloween

Hi Everybody! (ﾉ♡ヮ♡ )ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ this is just a recap post to talk about the last days (halloween party) and my future projects! ♥ ♥ ♥

♡ H A L L O W E E N ϟ D I N N E R :

These have been really strange days... Halloween week was proceeding pretty normally...we watched horror movies, walked into the park, gone shopping for halloween decorations...but suddenly an huge series of earthquakes broke our serenity...

Fortunately me, my family and my friends are ok (scared, but ok)...but most of my favorite nearby little villages were destroyed... and this is so sad...they were really historical and suggestive places and now they're gone...

...so as you can easily foresee, we hosted our Halloween Dinner in a really sad and shaken mood... staying together for dispelling the fear and trying to distract ourselves from our worries...

...we spent the morning of October 31st watching some halloween classics (Arsenic and Old lace and my fav Hocus Pocus), carving the pumpkin (♥ヮ♥ yay! I'm so satisfied by this year lantern!!it looks so cute and weird), decorating the house and cooking scary dishes!

all in all, we had a good time...

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

...then I passed the following days working hard on my shop's orders (✳ヮ✳ aww!!I received a lot of orders during the Halloween long weekend), going out for some walks in the park, drinking tea and watching Harry Potter...

...and turning my favorite Inktober doodles into magical stickers!! *:･ﾟ✧

♡ U P D A T E S :

I decided to take a little Autumn break, I need to get some fresh air, relax in the nature and charge my batteries...so me and my bf are going to leave home for a few days for a little holiday in his parent's house...they live in a really magical place surrounded by nature...

so, reluctantly, I had to close my shop for some days... but I'm preparing some wonders for the reopening!!! I'm going to update the shop with new magical items, a new stock of kitten bags is coming soon, I finished to work on the 2017 calendar layout and... I finally decided to host my first giveaway!! I recently reached 50k on my IG, so I've decided to give away some lovely stuff to say thank you for all the love and support!!

♡ ♡ ♡ See you soon!! ♡ ♡ ♡

(ﾉ▲ヮ▲)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ yay! halloween is coming!!

yay! I'm super super happy, because my absolutely fav festivity is really near! and I can't wait to celebrate and have fun!
I've always been into monsters, spooky stories and horrors...so Halloween is my fav festivity since I was a little ghoul... but, I live in Italy, and this is not a traditional festivity here...so during the years I had to create my own personal halloween tradition! 🎃✨
(I also talked about this on society6 blog...take a look ^_^)

I really love to spend the halloween week hunting pumpkins, searching ghosts and watching spooky movies!

I really love scary and bizarre movies, and little by little I'm collecting my fav ones...

I also have my personal top 5 of my fav movies to watch on Halloween week ...on the top of the list there are Hocus Pocus and Beetlejuice (but since this is my fav movie ever I re-watch it about 100 times a year...so it's really hard for me to be able to watch it on halloween =_='')...

hocus pocus ♡ trick 'r treat ♡ arsenic and old lace ♡ satan's little helper ♡ paranorman

I really love to watch these movies while sketching spooky doodles, backing some creepy cookies or craving pumpkins...
each year me and my sister hosts our traditional Halloween Dinner for our friends at my parent's house (that is a really haunted place, full of ghosts and mysteries)...
we always have a lot of fun shopping halloween decorations, making spooky dishes and craving pumpkins...

bats dress : H&M ♡ bat-headband : H&M ♡ socks : topman ♡ shoes : quanticlo ♡ hair clips : similar ♡ tights : similar

I even found the perfect vintage jacket in the street market! it looks so vampirish!!! and it also looks great with my spooky pins!! booo!

Can't wait to bake spooky cookies, decorate the home and have some magical time with my friends!!! After Halloween I will post some pics of our spooky party!!!

This is also the best time of the year to make art... this season is so inspirational, I'm always really creative in this period...so I made some spooky paintings inspired by Halloween and my fav movie Beetlejuice...

Haunted House ϟ Gosh I'm a Pumpkin

the New Home ϟ the Ghost with the Most

(You can also see some speed-painting videos of my Halloween themed artworks on my yt channel) // art prints available here

I also worked on a new Halloween themed sticker series...

and I made some new spooky stuff for my shop!! Halloween is my fav festivity (Did I already say that?? >ヮ<) so I love to create weird critters for my shop!! I made a Skully version of my Maneki Neko thank-you cards ... I will add one with every minimum purchase of €10...and I'm also giving away a Spooks or Creeps postcard set (min purchase €20 // expires on oct 31) ... So this would be the perfect time to have a look at my spooky shop!!
