New projects!

With the nice weather now here, I'm more inclined to take my projects outside and work on them. I can get a tan and be creative at the same time. ^_^

Sorted through my multitudes of blank paintables and chose 2 to start on.

One of my good ol' standby paper mache hearts! 

I needed a certain "blue" and I think I got there with these three. A little hint: the  name of the color on the far left. ;)

 This project, when I finish it, may be a gift for someone, but I haven't decided yet.

I NEEDED to have this color. I knew I'd be using it for something down the road.

And, of course, i used it on one of my favorite things to paint.

The plan for the skull is another Day of the Dead type mask, but without all the bright colors. Thinking just black and white details. We'll see how it all works out.

I *heart* skulls!

Hey hey, everyone! Sabrina/Sabs here to let you in on my crafting obsession that started last year, round about this time, and I've since gotten back into it

Both my husband, myself and most of my friends have an affinity for Halloween so, naturally, we spent a good chunk of time looking over the "seasonal" section and then...

I SAW THEM!

Little skulls! They had full skulls, but gravitated towards the masks.

As soon as I saw them I knew I wanted to do a Day of the Dead or Día de los Muertos mask as they're just gorgeous and something I've liked since I was a kid.

My first one:

I was so proud of my work, I decided to do 2 more!!

A zombie:

And just an abstract, patchwork-ish one just to see what I could come up with:

I have started and finished a new mask inspired by this picture:

With this being the finished product:

Paper mache is a great medium to work with!
