Altered Halloween Pumpkin

Hi Crafters

Today is the start of my 7 days of Halloween makes, now before I go any further I just wanted to say that it will no be 7 consecutive days, as I am off on a Crafty Retreat this weekend so most of my craft supplies are packed up ready eeeeeek.

Anyway enough of the babbling on........

Here is what I have been busy creating, well altering and making it different than your usual pumpkins.


I have to admit I absolutely love how this turned out, I had a rough idea in mind and it came out even better than I thought when I had finished this one I had another two ideas so you may see another two altered pumpkins sometime this month.

Now for some more pictures of the pumpkin






Now who wouldn't want to display this elegant but eerie pumpkin all year round hehe.

Supplies used to create this are as follows:
Prima Marketing IOD Moulds
Prima Marketing Paper Clay
IndigoBlu Metallic Paints - Miss Moneypenny and Emerald City
Black Gesso
Gold Acrylic Paint
Prima Art Alchemy Opal Magic Wax -  Green Brocade

I hope you like what I have done, as much as I have bringing it to life.

Mixed Media Tag

Hi all

I am sure there are many of you who like me struggle when it comes to doing something masculine, but I really did enjoy doing my inspiration piece and I hope it gives you plenty of inspiration too.

I thought I would show you all how my project first starts out as I like to call it planning my layout so here it is 


This stage is where i place my embellishments and other bits on and start to play around with where I want things to be until I am happy, I then take a quick picture so I have a reference to look at for when it comes to sticking everything down. As you have probably noticed the base layers are already done.

Now to show you what it looks like once It is all complete
