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.

Spooky Goings On

Hi all. 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, so today I have a new project to share with you all and yesI know it is only August but Halloween is my favourite holiday so of cause I just had to do something spooky.

Now this piece I am sharing with you all today was inspired by Mike Deakin.....

So here is what I have been doing

Now I bet you are sitting there thinking what is spooky about this?........ Are you ready? ...... 

Oh hello Mr Skeleton ;) Yes it is a 3d picture. The above two pictures have both been taken with the flash on to show the colours and the metallic a bit more.

Now for some pictures of the canvas with no flash and some close ups

Close up pictures of some of the detail and texture on the canvas

I absolutely love how this turned out and can not thank Mike enough for the inspiration, as I have had some of these 3d Halloween pictures for a fair few years and they have just been sat in a draw, I may have to do the others so there is a set of them, If i do the rest I shall share them with you all.

The products I used to do this piece are as follows:

20cm x 20cm Canvas

Black Gesso

3d Halloween Picture

Metallic Acrylic Paints - Miss Moneypenny, Emerald City, Aladdin - IndigoBlu (two of the colours I made into a spray)

Dylusions Paint - Tangerine Dream (Made into a spray)

I hope you like my spooky mixed media canvas and it gives you some inspiration for Halloween, just like Mike's gave me inspiration to give this a go.
