The base panel for the card and decorative piece for the box was embossed using Crafter's Companion embossing folder from Downton Abbey collection...

Monster Mud Halloween Statues: Beloved Tombstone and it's Guardians

Hello everyone,

With great pride, I introduce to you the Beloved Tombstone and it's guardians:

My husband and I made these statues using wood, chicken wire, monster mud, foam insulation boards, old bed sheets, paint and masonry sealer. Each guardian statue is approximately 7' tall and sarcophagus measures 6' x 2' with addition on the body on top of it.

The staff was made from 2" x 1" board wrapped with sheet soaked in monster mud and it was decorated with sisal rope and chain with tiny skulls from a dollar store...

The creases in the robe were highlighted with white drybrush...

Peak inside the hood, into endless nothingness...scary huh?

Sarcophagus was created with wood and foam insulation boards. I used Microsoft Publisher program to create the Beloved sign. The font is called Parchment. I transferred the lettering by tracing over the letters, leaving the trace on the foamboard, then I used soldering iron to "carve out" the sign.

For our first try, I am very pleased how this Halloween decoration setting turned out. I did a lot of research of Halloween statues and tombstones on Pinterest and YouTube and just followed the basic guidelines and instructions.
It did require a lot of work and it sure was not cheep to build them, but it was worth it :)

We also built a couple of tombstones which I'll show you in a couple of days...
If you enjoy Halloween at least as half as we do, you'll appreciate this post...
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by...
