Today i am a guest designer at FOREVER NIGHT CHALLENGES
http://forevernightchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/ .... where the new theme is ALTER SOMETHING.
I have a few of these small coffin shaped boxes laying around waiting to be transformed and i have loads of aluminium serving plates from my Nans funeral supper.... Nan would expect me to recycle them...she used to keep me all sorts of bits and bobs..... so anyhow .... i embossed Death into the metal, stuck it to the coffin lid with strong glue, coated it with black paint, once that was dry i lightly sanded it back to metal in places then buffed it up with copper coloured metallic rub 'n' buff. German scrap around the lid..... and more rub'n'buff on the black painted bottom of the coffin.
I coloured the eyes red with alcohol ink then added diamond glaze....... he is one scary depiction of Death.
I hope hes monster enough for the MAY MONSTER MADNESS.... SORRY I DIDNT POST ANYTHING FOR YESTERDAY...I HAD A MAJOR SENIOR MOMENT.....OR TWO!
I'll enter the following challenges.....
