Coffin for a Swap





     This little 5" wood coffin was an impulse buy at Micheal's when I was shopping for items for my apothecary cabinet project.  I opened the lid and out came a ghoulish laugh -- I had to have it !!  I had already decorated the paper mache one, what did I need another one for ??  I am sending it to my daughter along with the bottle I made for her for our swap.  I used the tissue paper and glue technique for texture on the top, then painted it black with the glittery orange paint overcoat.  The skeleton  I had that would fit inside was stark white -- I toned it down with Micheal DeMeng's Uugh mixture of acrylic paints.  A little moss, a few spiders and a tombstone inside, a clay skull and a spider and web from an earring on top -- off to No. Carolina he goes !!

About Me

My photo
Ginny
I retired in 2005 after dealing blackjack and roulette in Las Vegas casinos for almost 20 years. I have one daughter and one grand-daughter who introduced me to altered art after my retirement. I was born in Iowa and grew up on a farm. I began the Memoirs of a Wildrose blog in the form of letters to my daughter to share information with her about family heirlooms and family history, plus remembrances of today, yesterday and yesteryear ! "Book of Douglas" blog is the story of my late husband, his life as I knew him, and our journey through life together. Ginny's Art blog was created to provide myself a record of my artsy creations.
