Here's my space this week I've been a busy girl this week and you might notice that my camera is facing a different direction well we painted the floors a dark slate colour which looks so much better and it has a semi gloss which I'm loving so my room 1/2 the floor was painted then the other half so my desk is still flipped leaning up against my closet that I have no access to till we put back the carpet but we wanted to give the floors a while to really set up. It feels weird reaching the wrong way for things but it's only for a little while longer. Notice my 12 by 12 paper box is off the floor at the moment and sitting in the window ledge I didn't even realize for the longest time it was a shot gun bullet box lol.
So to share with you this years skull I have no idea what happened or how he ended up looking like a bug more then a demon but it's Halloween there is no mistakes just gruesome fun. The DH just loves him in the dark he's pretty freaky looking

Love that WILD skull Nikki.It's a nice balance to make something like this as well as "pretty" things. My "pretty" side is lace/ the other side is BOLD colour and BIG, but I haven't made anything like this for AGES!!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy rest of week.You've been doing loads to your home.

Hello Nikki. Wow you have done a great job in altering a cheap plastic skull found at the dollar store. Yah it is always different when things get moved around how you always tend to go for where it was. Have a fantastic Wednesday and chat soon. Hugs~Anne (no number yet)
ReplyDeletehope you get the floor sorted soon! like the different angle. the paper box is fab! Helen #5 (thanks for dropping by)
ReplyDeleteLoving that box but the skull - it has changed so much in a week and is fantastic! I would never have thought of altering it to that extent - WOW, I love it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 2 xx
Happy WOYWW. I would love to rummage through your 12x12 paper box - I actually used some Halloween paper this week that I had been hanging on to for 6 years! My new resolution is to use my stash, not just stroke it. Your skull turned out fantastic. Ali x #7
ReplyDeleteThat is one scary looking skull/alien! You could get a job making costumes for horror/Sci-Fi films. I hope you get your floor done and your room gets back to normal for you soon. Debra x
ReplyDeleteThe skull is amazing - very scary!!! I'm a wimp :-)
ReplyDeleteThe bear is very cute :-)
Happy WOYWW Anne x #17
Great skull - wish I had kids around to try such things with. But I really love your gun shell box. Have a lovely week x Jackie 21
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I think the skull is slightly less scary now he's morphed into an alien! Great work though, you can tell you had fun on that project!

Wow, I was just going along, minding my own business and suddenly there is this skull thingy staring out at me! What a wonderful, hideous alien! Well done! Glenda #26
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki, the skull turned out very cool, the the storage box is awesome! Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz xxx #1
ReplyDeleteWow, that is quite something! Creepy or what? Reminds me of a giant insect. Have a good week, zsuzsa #24
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks so well organised and you can't beat a spot of colouring in!

Um, just so you know, Nikki, in the light he's pretty darn freaky looking (and buggy), too! Yikes! Great to see your space even turned which way around!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a wild looking skull! I think a black & white photo of him would go nicely in my album (if it wasn't full already!). I like the looks of the bears you've stamped out.

That is one scary skull!!! Your Copic collection is awesome! I have maybe 1/4 of that! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #49
ReplyDeleteAwesome skull..so envious of your Coptic collection too. Happy WOYWW Elaine no. 18
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki, love your alien-bug-skull, it's really creepy but kinda cute too! Happy WOYWW :o) Annie C #15
ReplyDeleteCrikey, it's scarey in broad daylight! Your ideas are amazing! Love the sound of the floors, nice sheen sounds perfect to me. Laugh that you're reaching the wrong way because of the temporary position of the desk....just as you get used to it, it'll be time to change back!
ReplyDeleteThat is one scary skull Nikki! I like it but wouldn't like to meet it on a dark night. Have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x
ReplyDeleteI bet having your desk in a different place is a little unnerving! Your bullet box is super cool, and works so well with your papers. I love using vintage things in different ways and this is a perfect example.
ReplyDeleteAs for you buggy demon, he is freaky for sure. Perfect for the holiday! You did an awesome job altering that skull into something completely different. Impressive!

GOOD MORNING NIKKI! GREAT Buggy Skull - grin - but still so creepily, halloween-y! We really seem to discover how much we are "creatures of habit" when we move stuff around in our creative spaces, don't we? Happy belated WOYWW! from Lynne in Canada #51
ReplyDeleteThis pretty darn scary!! Perfect for Halloween. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Creatalicious Challenge, Elizabeth (DT)

ReplyDeleteOooh - he turned out well didn't he! Shame you can't get a shot of him in the dark, really!

Terrific ghoul scull work! I have a set of stairs that I keep putting off painting. They lead into my room, and I am on them 10 times a day....might not ever get that job done! Keep smiling and creating. Good luck with your carpeting! and getting things back to order.
ReplyDeleteA great project!
