I picked up some items from a charity shop the other week to alter. The first was a small photo frame, with enough space for four photos. I didn't want to use it in this way though, and i had wanted to make a mixed media halloween piece for ages. I started by taking out the back and the glass, before covering the front with sand texture paste. Before it dried I die cut some cobwebs and pressed them into the paste. I cut out the frames in two, but left the cobwebs covering the frames in the other two. I painted it black and coated it in wax. I then added halloween paper to the back, reassembling the piece. Then onto the embellishments. The left hand side had a word band and some mini bottles. These had been coated in glaze then inked with alcohol ink before rubbed with silver wax and a label added. To the left of this was a die cut candle from regions beyond. The next section had icicles coated with red alcohol ink and glossy accents to make blood, a word band and some skulls. A hand with an eye is next to that. The web has spiders and flowers, and there is a grave at the end with a chipboard quote between the grave and the hand.
I love this piece!
Also here is the update on the stitch.
Not as much progress as I would like as my neck has been very stiff the last couple of days
