I have been busy putting the trick or treaters stocking from Squigee together. The photos show my progress, and also why I need black paint! I have some black spray paint that I'll use on the little support later on today. Hopefully it'll be dry enough for a final photo tomorrow.
The back side is darker than in the photo but I adjusted the color so you could easily see the purple satin through the net overlay with all the orange fuzzy shapes and words.
The front is angled because I discovered that setting the stocking on the peg at a 90 degree angle overbalanced it and it toppled over. Can't have the kids lying on their sides! Now that I'm used to it, I think it's the perfect angle for viewing this piece. Most stockings are designed to be seen hung from a top corner like traditional Christmas socks, after all.
The next step is to add the fuzzy trim all around the perimeter while the black paint dries on the support.

I think it is great! And, then the support slips right out?
Oh Jane! That turned out wonderful! I just love Gail's designs and you've done wonderful work with it!
Glad you like it, Margaret.
Yes, Pat, the little peg fits inside and pulls right out when it is time to put the stocking away after Halloween.
