The idea started over at the Skulladay blog. To have a day set aside to be an official international day of cranial love!
Smeared and Smudged, in time honoured fashion rose to the challenge and have organised a massive blog hop, to include not only S&S members but any artist that wants to join us.
There're some amazing prizes up for grabs as well. For full details go here.
I have got so many projects started. I have skulls all over my crafty room. Unfortunately, only one got finished, and this was a rush at the end. So sorry.
It's a fridge magnet. Even this was painted and repainted because I wasn't happy with my first attempt. It's been that kind of week.
Made from plywood. sealed with watered down PVA then painted with acrylic paints. Sealed with glow in the dark mod podge.
Edged with ink. A few of the small flowers from TH Tattered Florals die cut from voile and heated to seal and crinkle.
This is the list for the Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop
Get on over to these blogs for some seriously amazing artwork.
Thanks for popping by
