Sorry for the dark crummy picture (no flash).
Most of us have, at some point, spray painted branches or bought them pre-painted to use for centerpieces. A cool thing I did the other day was spray paint a dead tree that I was going to throw away. (I have a limited green thumb.)
I sprayed it with silver spray paint including the dirt and cheap plastic pot. I hung metal words from it that read "spooky", "boo", "trick or treat", etc... and put one green apple in the dirt with a crow.
There are so many things you could do to this - group several together for greater impact, add spider webbing, crows in the branches, black bows, hand from the ground, tombstone, etc... or nothing at all for simple eerieness.
Gina and I took only a few pictures this year. We were working back-to-back jobs, so we rarely stopped to shoot photos. I'll post the others later.
I made two fake gourmet foods (grilled salmon with herbs and grilled swordfish with a bosenberry balsamic sauce). Pretty cool since this was the first time I've done anything like this (except for the fake oysters I made last summer for another theater production.) It's more amazing given the fact that I'm like Carrie on Sex And The City and use my oven for storage. I don't cook, but I'm a great fake 'n bake chef, so that counts for something! :)
