Friday Fun Day and Halloween Shrine.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

With Halloween so close this had to be a fun time to make something Spooky and that's what I've been doing this week.
So here it is!!!!!!!

 

I started with this little beauty from That Craft Place.

 

First thing, painting with black Gesso. Some sections were left as they would be covered later and try to avoid getting too much paint round the slits as that can make it difficult to assemble.

I often leave areas without paint and complete this as I construct.

 

Once that is done it's on to the decoration.

I used Graphic 45 papers for this shrine mixing together, Rare Oddities and Olde Curiosity Shoppe.

 

I glazed the bottles with Glossy Accents giving a slightly 3D effect. This needs to be done and allowed to dry before going to the next stage.

 

I also glazed the bottles at the back too.

 

I love this time of the year as it is so easy to get lots of lovely creepy stuff like the bat I've used on the back of the shrine.

 

You may be able to see that I had glazed the eyes too just behind the bat and small blobs on the Pinnacles of the shrine.

At this stage I started adding other embellishments which were coloured with Stickles Glitter glue for a bit of bling. It makes them look as though the moon is shining on them (just use your imagination!!!).

 

When I was looking through the stash I found these googly eyes, no idea what I bought them for but thought they would look fun down the sides.

More fun stuff.... some skeletons arms, little tiny vials, painted frogs, centipedes  and a very! very! large spider!

Spooky or what!

No Halloween shrine would be complete without cobwebs so got out the kitchen scrubby again and pulled out some nice big pieces to use as cobwebs, lovely!

 

 You can probably see now that I wrapped the webbing under the large spider and around the eyes.

Then used a large section for the shrine to stand on.

 

A little extra tucked inside.

 

And so to a final look at the finished project.

 

I hope this made you smile, I certainly had fun making it.

Have a great weekend and a brilliant Halloween,

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.
