31 Days of Halloween Day 24 **Shadow Box Coffins

By
 I finished my set of three paper mache coffins you can find here in our shop. I painted them with gold paint and used deco paper and washi tape

  Inside I added Collage sheets for Halloween, Skulls, moss and flower decor.  This was really fun to make . Very simple and it sparkles!

 Gotta love the Death Cab and poem stamp from Smeared and Smudged . Paper Flowers, more Skulls.


 I Had fun making shadow boxes from the coffins, so many great ideas!! 

Happy Halloween

    When I was young and looking at old family photo albums I used to think the death photos were creepy. But it was a way of last honors. Now coffin crafts are becoming popular. At first a little off putting but then done so well they are a beautiful part of Halloween tradition.

    Awesome! Love all the details on the inside! Both coffins are great. I'm so glad y'all sell these, I randomly look for them, but can only find them around Halloween.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
