These shots are from my work this week. But read on to see my ARTSY friends at play.
I began with the darling Foundations Decor WITCHES BOOT. I painted it with DIXIE BELLE Paints for my base coat.
Then I added Art Anthology Sorbet in purple for subtle sparkle and texture. I added a die cut from our Halloween papers...'Toil and Trouble'.
The buckle was coated with Art Anthology Sorbet and while wet I sprinkled purple mica chips for a bit of bling. The piece of orange ribbon was added to make the buckle POP.
I played with various ribbons and lace for the photo stem.
My cigar box was covered in our Halloween papers and our Halloween 6x6 Die Cut papers. I chopped up a plastic skeleton and applied him to the top of the box. I then used a Prima Flower as his "masquerade" outfit!
A game piece number from our ephemera packs added the right touch! I will also attach, with a screw, another game piece from Parcheesi for a knob to open the box.
Each of the sides is different, lace, wood, cutouts, game pieces for the front and the legs.
My supply list:
I was fortunate enough to be able to create my blog post along with friends who came to make art with me! This week I hosted an art gathering and WOW did they CREATE great stuff!
Our agenda for the upcoming months include a wooden garden totem, and some holiday decor using Dixie Belle paints and Foundations Decor.
