Spoonful of Halloween - by Lesley

Its nearly Halloween! Yay!!
So....this week i created a little Halloween assemblage!

The base of this creation is a chunk of rusty metal that my bossman found down on the marina.....a remnant from an old, old boat. The colours on it are so beautiful!

Keeping with the colours of the rust, i added some different size leaves which were painted with Decoart colours. 

I used a spoon from my stash and bent the handle and gave it a coat of black gesso. Then i glued it to the metal base......which took some doing!!
The pumpkin was painted and randomly stamped on and a wash of black paint on top.
I used sand texture in the scoop of the spoon and wedged the pumpkin in it. Once it was dry, i gave it a coat of paint and sprinkled on some teeny tiny beads.

I added random patches of black sand to the weeny bats and used rusty wire to attach them to the handle of the spoon.

Little finishing touch was a few weeny skulls painted black and gold.

And there you have it........a fun Halloween altered piece!

Thanks for reading.
