31 Days of Halloween - Day 11 - Never Leave Home without It!

Smeared & Smudged
31 Days of Halloween
Day 11
 
Just what every Witch in the know needs...
 
Acme's
No. 13 Travel
Potion Kit
 
 
I had so much fun making this kit.  It's actually a vintage watchmakers vial parts box. 
 
 
I stamped the front with various stamps...the witch and grave stones are from Third Coast Rubber Stamps; the poison, spider, skull & cross bones are all Alpha Stamps; the Danger sign (shown in the next photo on the spine is by Crafty Individuals.
 
 
The inside slots were made from chipboard so I was able to remove a few of the dividers to make the larger areas where the spare bones are kept...  The rest of the little bottles are tiny watchmaker parts vials - just a bit over 1" tall. 
 
 
Each of the vials is filled with something different...depending on what is called for.  For example the Moth Dust is white embossing powder; the roots are twine, the crushed acorn is dry walnut stain crystals; etc. 
 
It was lots of fun to make :)

    Love this! So creative, Roni, a real work of art.
    And P.S. Is Third Coast EVER going to be up and running again. They keep postponing their reopening, and it feels like they're never coming back!
