It's almost Halloween!

While "Lee" and "Pearl" work on upcoming doll patterns, prepare fabric for sale in our Etsy shop and sew up holiday-themed face masks, we've also enjoyed spending time with our doll, sewing and crafting friends on Facebook, hosting free Lunch with Lee & Pearl livestream videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on our Lee & Pearl page.

All this month, we've featured costume patterns and craft projects to get yourself and your dolls ready for our favorite holiday — Halloween! And today, we've got a truly spooktacular craft to share with you.

Join us LIVE on Facebook at 2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, 12pm Mountain and 11am Pacific as Lee finishes turning this inexpensive plastic dragon door knocker from Target...

... into THIS gloriously painted fantasy dragon head faux taxidermy, perfect for all your castle walls and wizard's towers!

While Lee paints, we'll talk about the materials she's using and the application techniques that help her bring out the beautiful molded details that can often be found in such inexpensive plastic pieces, including lots of doll-scale pieces as well. And of course we'll chat with anyone who drops by and answer any questions you have about this craft, or anything else that strikes your fancy!

CLICK HERE to go to the Lee & Pearl Facebook page to join us live TODAY at 2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, 12pm Mountain and 11am Pacific.

If you can't make the live video, no worries. You can re-play this broadcast at any time, or catch up with any of our other videos in our Facebook video archive.

For instance, last week we talked about the inspirations, materials and unique design features of our Pattern 1054: Superheroes! Costumes and Accessories for 18 Inch Dolls.

And on Monday, we shared the design development, features and impact on our young company of our very first Tweak-the-Pattern package, the Ice Princess/Bridal/Red Carpet adaptation of our Pattern 1055: Skating Dresses for 18 Inch Dolls.

So come on by our Facebook page on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, 12pm Mountain and 11am Pacific for the live chats — or visit the Video Archive at any time to catch up.
