Skeleton in a Coffin

 

I bought some plastic skellies from Pound Stretcher. I pulled the head off and added a pair of bat wings.

Then I positioned the arms and put the head between them and just sat it in the coffin shape purely just to dry, or so I thought!

Then, just to keep everything together, I placed the lid on the top of the box.

I decided to decorate the coffin. I used texture paste through a stencil and painted everything black.

I used white paint to dry brush to bring out the textures.

I was playing with the idea of what to put on the coffin and I ended up with just these two.

The rain stopped so took the opportunity to take some photos outside.

This will be up for sale in my on line shop.

Skull in a Jar

 

I cast a skull and coloured it up.  I needed it raised out of the lid so I used a cotton spool and some cardboard.

I glued a large spider on the top of the jar.

I added white shredded paper and some mini resin embellishments.

I used brushed iron alchemy wax on the embellishments.

And after I'd coloured them I decided that it needed a proper more stable base, so covered a coaster with black powertex and added in some small sand balls.

I used white powertex to dry brush over the coaster to show the sand balls and texture.

And then finally a shot in the garden.

Dolls Head in a Jar

 

I started off playing with plastic spiders, a jar and black tulle.

I painted the dolls head and gave her some make-up!

And this was the end result.

Skellie in a Coffin

 

I picked up some plastic skellies and skulls.  I decided he needed a coffin.  So I made one out of cardboard.

I gave it a coat of black powertex and played around with some fabrics and resin pieces.

Then I decided I wanted to mount it on something and use a technique shown to us by Finn aka Anna, in one of her live shows.

After a coat of black powertex I dry brushed in white.

Then to see how he fitted in the box with the fabric in.

Once I was happy with everything I mounted the coffin on the background piece.

And a view from the bottom to the top.

And from the other side.

Bookends or Treasure Boxes

 

I painted the drawers I took out the top part of the cabinet.

I added patterned papers in the back and bottom.

Used texture paste on the outsides and top.

Then I decided to paint them both in purple metallic acrylic.

And I also did the tops.

I then filled them in with mini bits and pieces.

I added some tulle on the bottom and heated it to curl around the bases.

They can either be used for bookends of display ornaments.

These are for sale in my online shop.

Cabinet of Horrors

 

I picked this jewellery cabinet up at the car boot last Sunday.

I painted it with black powertex and then took the door off and painted the inside.

Then I added some grit paste and covered the insides with Halloween patterned paper.

I created a shelf on the left hand side.

Then I decided to give it a coat of black paint with silver in it.

It looks quite good with the texture.

Close ups of the patterned papers in situ.

Then I filled the shelves with lots of tiny and mini horrors.

And from the side.

Then it stopped raining, so I took some photos outside.
