Bat and Bowl

To create my Cast iron bat cauldron/ lantern, I cut approx 150 bats in a variety of sizes and shapes in 300GSM card on a Cricut explore

I then applied them to a balloon to start the shape adhering them using a strong paper glue

Applied DecoArt Texture Sand Paste

Painted the inside with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Metallic Gold and Quinacridone Gold with Carbon Black at the top 

The outside was coloured with Burnt Umber, Carbon black and Quinacridone gold to create a cast iron effect

The eyes were cut with a variety of sized punches and coloured with Promarkers 

Applied a large blob of Liquid Glass and allowed to dry for approx 8hrs 

The flying bats were embossed with a Tattered Lace leaf vein embossing folder and the eyes applied

Fixed with stripes of black paper to a piece of coiled wire which had the same technique as the external surface of the bowl

Stampotique Early Halloween

Bats in the Belfry

This weeks challenge is Early Halloween which is fine by me!

I've been waiting for this little bat stamp to arrive for about 4 months, he didn't arrive when he should have but he turned up early for Halloween!!

I remembered this very spooky picture that was taken  in Lynton, North Devon and thought the Owl Tree and Batty would look perfect against the dramatic sky
I stamped them both with Stazon and colour with Promarkers

Stampotique Milestones

Applied DecoArt Cobalt Teal Hue and Prussian Blue, wiped back on the numbers and applied Metallic Gold followed with Distress Inks Dusty Concord and Victorian Velvet

Jasmin was coloured with distress inks, Peacock Feathers, Tea Dye, Pine Needles and Spiced Marmalade
