It is that time of the week again where we show off our spaces so here is mine Yep that's a Christmas card right there in the middle I'm trying to figure out embellishment and sentiment part but I have no idea what I want lol (as par normal crafting for me)
I'm also working on a new HEAD for Halloween he's still in the working on stage seeing. Not painted and I'm going to maybe add in some more GROSS details before I paint him up even more gross lol. For those of you wondering this is one of those dollar store crappy skulls they have they can look really amazing when altered up painted and sealed up the last set I made I still have to put out. He's covered in Tissue Paper and some sort of dollar store paper clay which I really like to work with for this keeps it light. Gonna go see if they have any more.
Yep he's pretty freaky looking right now but eventually he will look worse lol
Found a picture of my last ones made up . They needed a little touch up last year.
they where covered with paper and moss and flour and water paste
that's my space at the moment
hugs Nikki
Hello Nikki. Your Christmas card is looking great and as always it will come together before you know it moving on to the next one.Should start making a few myself soon.....or I will never get any done.I love those skulls you made and can not wait to see how the new one looks. Oh and have to say also I showed your niece the ones you finished and she likes the way they look too. Have a fabulous day and thanks again for all your help earlier. Always your little sis~Anne (no number yet hopped over to your blog early)
ReplyDeleteThose skulls look fun!! Our local Thrift warehouse has some fab Halloween costumes at the moment.they are new, and every year they do a big promotion for Halloween. I love the textiles they have used on some of the costumes!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how much Halloween stuff our stores are carrying. I have become addicted to the celebration myself and could spend a fortune. Nothing better than pressing the buttons on those animated characters when out shopping. Of course DH keeps a tight hold of the money 'cos he knows what I would be like LOL.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your display nearer the time.

I haven't started thinking about my Christmas cards yet, I think I will keep them very simple (even more simple than most years) lol! Great spooky things going on! Helen #2
ReplyDeleteIt's all looking very spooky on your desk today - you've really made a difference with those skulls, they looks great! And I can't say anything about your Christmas card when my desk is covered in festive stuff too, lol!

ReplyDeleteYour skulls look amazing! Can't wait to see how this year's creation turns out! Enjoy your week! zsuzsa #22
ReplyDeleteBit of a scary space this week - LOL BJ#37
ReplyDeleteHa! Love that you've got both Halloween and Christmas going on right now. I hadn't thought to alter those plastic skulls, but what a fab idea. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that dollar store paper clay as well. Hmmm. Oh, the possibilities. Thanks for the inspiration and here's hoping your skull turns out super creepy!! :)

Nikki, your skulls are the bomb! I love them and the creativity that came out of a dollar store find! So crafty! Blessings, Felicia, #39
ReplyDeleteYour skull is heading in the right direction... excuse my pun, only saw it once I typed it! LOL! Love your Christmas card. Your colouring is so nice. #41
ReplyDeleteOmigawd, those skulls are still creeping me out! You are very clever to see the finish at the start, it's a real skill. As for card finishing and embellishing...I work the same way....stamp, colour, mount...and then what?!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing skulls... such a talent for seeing the possibilities in dollar store "crap" which I often walk by. Loving the very organised desk and cute card.

great looking desk today. I am going to start working on my Sugar Skull sometime tomorrow. I think I will paint it white then hit it with color and bling…we shall see. Made a card with the bird stamp and sent to a friend. Forgot to get it done for the blog hop but ya know stuff happens! Looking forward to seeing the skull next week! Have a great week. Vickie #1
ReplyDeleteOMG those skulls are gross! LOL. Love them. i love it when people take something and change it - these are awesome! dorlene #42
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated WOYWW. What a great idea to alter those skulls. I think I might go out this week and see if our 'pound shops' have them. I think mine would turn out more cute/grungy though! Ali x #26
