We've all seen those neat little framed art prints
with the subject matter being that of a bathroom
or bathtub. Some with a female figure
in the bathroom or bathtub and
in various stages of undress.
I think this kind of art is most likely
intended to hang in one's bathroom or powder room,
not so much in the kitchen or above the couch,

One day while searching the Internet I came across
a neat Halloween themed "Bathing" image
"Bathing Witch" 1964
I also think it's perfect bathroom art
for the Halloween season.
check out the details...
she's got her haunting license
and is deemed an expert.
She uses witch hazel in the bath.
and she has her familiar looking on.

This print isn't commercially available to buy, but
I reduced the size to fit in a 4 X 6 frame and
printed it out on my deskjet.
Now all I needed was a frame suitable for Halloween.
Here's a "memorial frame" common in Victorian homes,
I spied this in the Victorian Trading Co. magazine,
which is a good start.
I just think it's a little too frilly for my image.
After all, she is a witch bathing in a cauldron!
A few days later while at Michael's checking out their
Halloween offerings, I thought I'd have a peek at their
Halloween offerings, I thought I'd have a peek at their
frames and stumbled upon this one...
The whole thing should look
frightfully good!

Here's how it turned out!
Not too shabby, eh?
We found that Halloween hand towel at Kohl's
this year also.
Thanks for popping by,
and Happy Hunting!
It seemed very suitable in an old Salem sort of way.
Old dark stained wood....check.
black metal hinge-like details.....check.
2 sizes to choose from.....check.
Perfect!
I bought the 4''X6'' size frame.
I didn't size the image to the edge of the frame,
I gave it a little floating/breathing room.
It's about 3.25''w X 5'' h.
I plan to display it on the shelves
above the toliet
in my wife's bathroom
I also plan to complement the picture
with these three bottles sitting around.
from Oriental Trading.
Along with a green mercury glass mini pumpkin,
I found at HomeGoods.
And a Pier 1 ghost soap pump.
frightfully good!

Ha! I have that Botero print in my bathroom. I have two of his prints actually. Yes, that one for Halloween is perfect for your Halloween bath. I went by TJ Maxx and they had one mercury glass pumpkin. I couldn't be buying the day I was there but I may go back for it. HOpe it's still there on Friday.
