House of Shadows

Here is an example of how you can create Halloween decorations by repurposing everday items.  This project was done by Frankie’s Girl and posted on HalloweenForum.com.  Frankie went shopping for Angels to finish the tops of a pair of small columns she made.  She found a pair of Angels at Michael’s, one had a broken tip on the wing.  Frankie bought the pair for $8.00 and repaired the broken wing tip with air dry clay.  Then she painted the Angels with a basecoat of gray, covering the recessed areas with with a dark charcoal gray.  When the gray paint was thoroughly dry Frankie used a dry-brush painting technique to appy white paint.  A combination of strokes, including stippling was used to create a stone texture.  I must say, the finished product looks much better than the original.  Congratulations Frankie’s Girl for a job well done.  You’ve got a good eye for great deals.
