LOC - #49 - Alter Something
Oh! The Horror! - Sleepy Hollow (insp. by movie/poster)
I was watching Sleepy Hollow (1999) last night and inspiration struck. I love Burton's use of the gray/black color scheme in this movie. Then, of course, all the heads that disappear. I thought about adding bits of red, but for once held myself back, and happy I did.
I have altered a dry erase/magnet board to turn it into only a magnet board. If any headless person(s) are looking for some skellie heads this Halloween, come on over, I've got a few!
BEFORE
AFTER
Dig, Dig, Dig, for the Deets
Started my altering by using brush and Black Gesso over entire board, which measures 13" x 13"...It was meant to be!
I did have to cut out the bottom to create the teeth. Use the extra piece for a little handle which was taped down.
Found my long lost glow in the dark paint, called GloAway (cute name!) and with brush put it onto stencil.
Pushed onto board 9x in different directions. Let dry.
Skellie background stamp used as border and stamped with Silver Encore Ink.
Two heads w/ bone image was stamped randomly with Black Archival Ink.
Found 2 magnet clips and glued hand and foot to each. Pieces are from stash.
Thought it would be killer to have the skellie eyes glow in the dark, so put a dab of the GloAway in all the eyes.
Wonderful remake of your board, much nicer now! Love all the skulls! ~kim
ReplyDeleteCan't say enough how much I love this altered board! Have been looking at a oven burner cover that I had to take out from under the sink when it flooded this weekend..ugh..and knew there was something to do with it!! Would like to borrow your idea instead of stealing...lol! Fab project!!
ReplyDeleteYour creativity is astounding! How you made the skull stamp and added the little handle. What a perfect background it turned out to be.
