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...

Vintage Floral Garden Card in Neutrals

Hello everyone,

Just a very quick post of the card I made:

I used MFT Damask stencil and home made texture paste to create the background panel. I sprayed it with Ranger Perfect Pearls mist in Heirloom Gold.

Hand made flowers and two tone seam binding ribbon bow are arranged to look like they are climbing up the trellis cutout.

Trellis symbolizes the shabby chic garden and is embellished with different size pearls.

I made a box for the card and created the design with Damask stencil and Antique Linen Distress Ink.
