I cut the Halloween images from a pattern by Sheila Landry and from the Scroll Saw magazine.  They were cut from 1/8" baltic birch and then painted with acrylic paints.  The base was a piece of 3/4" pine which was stained green and then 1/8" slots cut in it.  I sent these to my grandkids and the slots allow them to move the pieces around and arrange them as they want.  I also put the initials of my kids and grandkids in the ghosts.

 

The witch is a hanging piece about 10" in diameter also cut from 1/8" baltic birch.

 

One of the pictures shows my first attempts at getting a "crackle finish" on the ghosts.  I did a couple of trials and finally found the best method for me to produce it.
