Today I'm Just Hanging With My GHOUL Friends

Fall in New England 

is

ALWAYS 

spectacular!!


It's thyme to change
 SEASONS
and
do a little seasonal decorating
inside and out

and

maybe even sneak in a bike ride!!

Step into 

the 

STUDIO

and

I'll show you what I have been painting!

I've 

been 

Hanging With My GHOUL Friends!

My Pallette

DecoArt Americana Acrylics

Lamp Black, Burnt Orange and White

Let's Paint

I cut my shapes from 1/4 " wood

I did 

not

  PREP 

my pieces 

as

 I wanted them to have a primitive look

I use

  graphite paper 

to transfer face details then paint

I use 

a 

Lowell Cornell Fine Line Writing Pen

to

 add the blanket stitch detail

Depending 

on the 

finished "look 

you want

you can varnish these

 with

DecoArt Glamour Dust Paint

I have used

ICE CRYSTAL

to give them a 

SPARKLE

finish

Or

for a more primitive look

you can stain them with any of the

DecoArt Gel Stains

then spray lightly 

with

DecoArt Sealer/Finisher

After they have dried well drill holes as indicated in the pattern

and

attach your twine

Tear coordinating strips of fabric into strips

and 

tie to cover your twine

You can make your GARLAND any length you want! 

OR

You can even drill holes in the tops 

and 

add rusty wire to  hang the ornies 

on 

your

HALLOWEEN tree

DecoArt 

provided me with the paints

 to 

complete this design and project

as 

part of their

Helping Artist Program
