Eerie Elixirs

My favorite holiday has finally come (again), and with it my final set of Halloween decorations, shown below. All of the potions are handmade. I purchased the glass bottles from Hobby Lobby, ...  

... and the ceramic skulls from Michaels.

Below, from left to right, are elixirs of poison ivy, snake venom, and mermaid fins. Each contains liquid glue, along with green food coloring and fake leaves for the poison ivy, yellow food coloring for the snake venom, and blue food coloring plus tiny pieces of aluminum foil for the mermaid fins.

For the deadly nightshade, fairy tears, and graveyard dust, I used dried parsley flakes, Epsom salt, and ground black pepper, respectively.

The last 3 potions feature mythological creatures, specifically unicorn horns (crushed eggshells), dragon blood (liquid glue mixed with red food coloring), and werewolf claws (coffee grounds).   

Perhaps next year I'll make the following ingredients, as listed in "Song of the Witch" from Shakespeare's Macbeth: 

Eye of newt and toe of frog

Wool of bat and tongue of dog

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting

Lizard's leg and howlet's wing

In the meantime, I hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween!
