DAY #18 OF THE 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN

Welcome to day #18... wow this month is really flying by..... its my day at DE-STEMPELWINKEL.... i know...again.... hope no ones totally fed up with me ....YET!
I thought today i'd be a little quirky.... not cute... ok its quirky cute......
.......... i have an owl money box to share with you. When i found him in a pound store i just knew he'd make a lovely Halloween ornament. I sanded him down, before painting him this terrific purple.
 I stamped the images onto tissue, heat embossed, cut out fairly neatly and adhered to the painted owl with watered down PVA. Once dry i painted around the images to neaten the finish. I used sukura pens to do the details and around his eyes. A coat of vanish finished the owl off nicely. A cheap project, perfect for Halloween..... and you can save your pennies in him for next Halloween.
The blog roll is on my side bar..... have fun hopping.... see you tomorrow for DAY #19. BDx
