Halloween Art

For one of my art groups, I made these canvases for Halloween. I really love how they turned out. I took a Halloween class from Margie Romney-Aslett http://www.margieromney-aslett.typepad.com/ and we did something similar. She is getting ready to do another class for Christmas. She can do some fabulous things with dollar store finds! I would sign up if I were you!!

I have a friend that her birthday is Oct 25th so I usually do something Halloween theme as well as normal for her big day. This year I wrapped the gifts in this box and glued a skeleton to the top. I added a paper cone party hat to his head. Another idea from Margie's class! There were several comments at the restaraunt about him from guests. He did turn out very cute if you can call a skeleton cute!

Class I Took

I will post more photos of Paper Cowgirl later but these are photos of what I made in the class I took while there. It was Sandra Feazel's class. Really had fun working with wax and lucious fabrics! The little photos are on cut up book covers. What a great idea! Dipped in the wax or paint it on the wax and add acrylic paint. I stamped in the wax while it was warm and it left a texture. So cool! Sandra's samples were small to be used as necklaces but I thought why not make them bigger and they can be used on a canvas or hung on these cute hangers.

I decided to use what I learned in the class for my swap project for one of my art group meetings. This is what I cane up with. The theme is white, so I used shades of the color and added a little brown in to go with the photo. Which by the way is a photo of one of my Grandfathers with his brothers.

Here are some of the students projects. There were some very creative things done. I wish I could remember whose was whose project. LOL

These two are so fun!! Tammy is the sweetest lady and Nicki is a hoot!

This is me and Amy Boland. When I was introduced to her I kept thinking "where do I know that name from?" Then later someone ask me what the photographers name was from San Antonio, and it hit me! That's why I knew her name. She has photographed Magnolia Pearl and several other things in the stamping art world! http://www.amybolandphotography.com/

More later on the class I taught. I am still going through my photos. Have a great week.
