		<description><![CDATA[It's all about the specimens...in jars, in bottles, and even around your neck? The slimiest and creepiest of Halloween contained in a jar or two.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-132" title="specimenjars" src="http://webspinstress.com/halloween/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/specimenjar.jpg" alt="specimenjars, specimen jars" width="122" height="156" align="left" />To create your own specimens, you need a good assortment of clear glass containers. Use canning jars, potion bottles, apothecary jars, wine bottles, or rinse out the spaghetti sauce jar from last night&#8217;s dinner. The concept is simple &#8211; refill the jars with colored water, add a slimy and creepy specimen, and embellish with labels, paint, and twine.</p>
<p>Wilton makes a Halloween drink-coloring dye set with green, orange, red, and black already mixed for you, available at your local craft store. Hard-boiled eggs, cauliflower chunks, mini skeletons, and light-colored creatures work well in dark colored dyes for the added appeal of not being able to distinguish clear details apart from each specimen.</p>
<p>I found a very inspiring display of potion bottle specimen jars arranged on an antiquated bookshelf with a full tutorial included. Create your own <a href="http://webspinstress.com/halloween/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2FyYW5hbXVlcnRhLmNvbS8yMDA4LzAxLzI5L3dpdGNoZXMta2l0Y2hlbg==" target=\"_new\">Witches&#8217; Kitchen</a> this Halloween for a unique party theme that will have your guests brewing and bubbling over (with anticipation, I mean. I certainly hope you don&#8217;t plan to stuff them into the cauldron&#8230;).</p>
<p>Use vintage-style potion bottle labels for added authenticity, such as this beautiful set from the talent behind Love Manor: <a href="http://webspinstress.com/halloween/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5mbGlja3IuY29tL3Bob3Rvcy9sb3ZlbWFub3Ivc2V0cy83MjE1NzYwMjc4ODIyMjIzMS8=" target=\"_new\">Bottle Labels</a>.</p>
