DecoArt Halloween

I love Halloween and found this amazing plastic skull, it was on a plain metal stand so the dremel had to come out, I found a cheap candelabra and removed the central candle holder so that the skull could stand in its place
He now sits atop a more fitting structure
 I started applying DecoArt Media Texture sand and crackle paste, followed by a coat of Matte Medium to seal

The outside was painted with Carbon black and dry brushed with Dazzling Metallic Rich Espresso which gives a finished effect similar to cast iron
 The inside of the skull was painted with DecoArt Elegant Finish Glorious Gold
 The candelabra was painted with Multi Surface Satin followed with a coat of Carbon Black which was rubbed back to reveal the colour underneath and the metallic finish


 I finished dry bruising the candelabra and skull with Dazzling Metallic Rich Espresso

 The wings were cut on a Cricut and covered with Texture sand then Painted with Carbon Black and dry brushed as before

 An artificial candle sits within and I decorated with a plastic painted chain

 Happy Halloween

  2. Eye-wateringly cool! Just spent the weekend on workshops with Andy, playing with all this fabulous stuff, and am so inspired... just lacking the time to sit down and play!
