Vintage Halloween Spooky Cat Lantern

Spooky Cat!! I've had my eye on this vintage, Gibson Company Favors Halloween Cat Lantern (c. 1937) every since I laid eyes on it! Since it's a rare piece (& expensive, no doubt) I decided to do my best to replicate it. This collaboration was the perfect opportunity to step up to the plate!
I hope that you like it as much as I do!
Please be sure to check out all the unique talent in the collaboration! All of these ladies have a distinctive style and they're all very talented! You are going to love them! Not to mention, this is quite the international group, with 2 artists from Europe, one from Canada & 3 of us from the US. I've linked each channel, as well as the playlist below. You'll find my supply list below, too!
Many thanks for always being so kind & supportive! Love you all!

[@lauriewelsh8554]

He is so adorable. I totally could not figure out where you were going with the bottom lantern part. So neat. Please forgive me if I break an etiquette rule in the following sentences. I think Christopher Hienemann (spelling) and you might be kindred spirits in your spooktakularness. I love moons and he did a moon lantern and I think an owl for Halloween. He has also done some pumpkins and cats. I love both of your channels for there vintage vibe. Thank you for sharing your artistic endeavors with all of us.

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Laurie! Thank you so very much! I love Christopher!! I haven’t seen his moon video, but I have seen his owl & JOL! So happy that you like my cat! Have a happy weekend & thank you for your kindness 🖤🧡🐈‍⬛🧡🖤

Would you explain what tools you use for your clay work? I know nothing about them or what to purchase. Fun project - thank you!

[@UpAllNightDIY]

Hiya, Laura! Thanks so much! I’m honestly not sure what each tool is called, but Temu sent these to me. Prior to that I just used my paint brush handle & an old nut pick. I would recommend looking for rubber clay tools on Amazon. (Better quality than what I have, for sure!) They have sets that have multiple tools. I hope that helps. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be more specific for you. Truly appreciate your reaching out! Have a happy weekend 🖤🧡🐈‍⬛🧡🖤
