Crafty Cornerstones

Day Eight featured a skeleton mug with ghosts, and I leaned into a simple but effective design.

I framed the scene with a scalloped stitched frame over orange patterned paper. For the mug, I added shading with a brown ink brush to give it depth. Multiple ghosts floated up like steam, and I popped them on foam tape for lift.

It’s a quick build, but one that feels both fun and spooky.
