Altered Pages Fall/Halloween Blog Hop!!

Happy Friday Everyone!!

I had such fun working on this project.  Originally I intended on simply altering this nifty paper mache coffin.  I painted it with black acrylic paint then dry brushed Bronze Eco Green Acrylic paint over the entire coffin.  I then added a bit of German Scrap (Dresden Trim) and the awesome looking Medallion.

 
I painted the inside with Green Patina Eco Green Paint and filled it with several fun collage images.....

 
But then I thought, it's such a nice container, I should make something to put inside it!
So, I did....
 
 
 A very Spooky coffin shaped banner!!
I traced the coffin onto chipboard then trimmed it a bit on each side so it would fit back into the coffin.  I covered the pieces of chipboard with Graphic 45's Trick or Treat pattern paper, inked the edges;  painted & glittered the letters "SPOOKY" and finally I added lots of fun Halloween collage images!
 
 

 
Hope you enjoyed this project...

    Darling! I love how you used the green tones to age the black, very "mossy". The banner is really fun too, that paper line is one of my favorites.

    Roni, once again, you have out done yourself. Of course your exquisite coffin needed a banner especially when you are Roni, queen of the extraordinaire!

    I love your "If You Give a Mouse Cookie" approach to your artistic endeavors...you continue to be my source of inspiration!

    Cool collaged coffin, and I love the woodgrain look you achieved by dry brushing that bronze over the black.
    Also Love the addition of the ooh so spooky banner :)

    I think the little mini in the coffin is outstanding! And, that's the reason you are so good, it's the thinking outside the box! Pun intended!

    Wonderful, Roni! Wait, though, Jackie, is that gorgeous banner thinking outside the box or inside the box???

    I love Halloween and I love banners plus I have an unfinished coffin project left over from a year ago. Too late for this year's project which is almost finished but NEXT year's project has just become apparent to me. Thanks Roni for providing the inspiration.
