Trick or Treat Pumpkin Diorama - Deb Stephens


It's that time of year again where we get to indulge ourselves making quirky and kooky Halloween creations!
I used LOTS of Dusty Attic Chippy and other products to alter this Kmart paper mache pumpkin and turn it into a diorama!
The inside background was made with crackle paste and alcohol ink. 

DA0178 Bats 8pk were painted black and stuck onto it. I also assembled DA3124Haunted House #1 and DA3125 Haunted House #2, painted and embellished the roof's with black Quickcure clay, and dressed the windows. Glow in the dark paste was also applied. 

But the Stars of this show are the DA 3101 - Halloweenies #1! They are just so cute! They stand behind the DA0615 Tombstone borders I used as a fence. I also used Quickcure clay to sculpt the "tree" that edges the cut section of the Pumpkin. I embedded creepy eyes into this too.

Lights were added inside the diorama and DA1865 Web corners were glued together to make the front decking. DA1790 Wordpl@y #6-black gave me my trick or treat signage. The lights are great to highlight the small space inside, but also to charge up the glow in the dark paste that was applied. This photo isn't great, but it gives you the idea.

To dress the outside of the pumpkin, I cut the DA0183 Mini Bare Tree #2 in half and glued it to either side of the opening. 

I ran the rest of the Tombstone Border chipboard around the back of the pumpkin. 

 I also stenciled texture paste through the DA3062 Spooky face stencil, and finished with Waxes.

I dressed the top of the pumpkin with DA1460 Ivy Flourish, Black roses, Skulls, pumpkins and Spooky Tule fabric. 

This was a very fun project to make and there is a YouTube tutorial available on my Chanel, linked below,  if you are interested in the process.

Below are a few more photos and a list of all the Dusty Attic Products I used. 

Until next time, take care!

Fantasy Stories - Kerstin Filou

 

Welcome creative souls!

 

 A little bit late for Halloween, I know
but our nights in November are also always very dark, 
misty and mysterious.
 
Some would also say after Halloween is before Halloween, 
but I'm not such a big fan of this event, I
 rather love the magic and mystery and the great fantasy behind it.
 

 

 I created a book in Altered Art, love this old, weathered look
it fits to a mystery atmosphäre
and invite to tell fantasy stories.
Dusty Attic  has a large selection of chipboards
 for such stories in the assortment, love that!

Tavern of the Last Bite to Eat - Kerstin Filou - Halloween special

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

 All were invited to a spooktacular Halloween Dinner

in  Tavern of the Last Bite to Eat

 'Gasthaus zur letzten Einkehr'

but take care:

there is a note in the fine print 'Enjoy it could be your last' 👀

 

 

I was inspired to create a book in Altered Art, love it to tell stories

with my Mixed media projects. 

In the latest Halloween series by Dusty Attic 

you can find so many inspiring chippies,

HALLOWEEN

 that it's a pure joy!!


 

There are killer drinks on the menu, I'm afraid some had too much of it.  

Body disappeared, only bones are left, one lost his head and is now walking around with a pumpkin 



 

But still they all seem to be very happy 😄
