I DO!!! I'm back with my second project as Guest Designer and I just had to do a Halloween project as I had a lightbulb(
or battery operated tealight) moment when I saw the papier mache hand found
here and then saw a small papier mache skull at Ally Pally that was just the perfect size.
I started off by performing a craniotomy on the skull so that I could create an opening to put a battery operated tealight inside. I then painted the skull and hand with a coat of gesso.
Once the hand was dry I painted it with green paint and the skull with pearl paint, then added a small metal screw eye and catch to the skull. The base with some
Tim Holtz tissue paper
For the lace gauntlet I used some
crushed grape dylusions spray, then I stamped the splat for from the Splats and Swirls plate on to some trimming and also the bird head from the
Airmail Bird Collage elements stamp set to make the frilled cuff around the hand.

The skull is suspended from the the hand using some waxed linen thread, sort of looks like a spiders web I think.

| Ruffle detail |
Some finishing details added from poundshop halloween spiders and a skull. Also a Tim holtz bottle stamped with label stamp from
Tim Holtz Halloween set.
I hope that you all enjoyed looking at my project as much as I enjoyed making it
