For full deets on this Freaking fangtastic Blog hop organised by Smeared Ink and The Smeared and Smudged forum, please hop on over to Terra's blog. All the info on the days sponsors are there as well as any other info you think you might need. The blog hop roll is there in my side bar.
Good morning folks
Today I have for you an altered coffee tin. It's been sitting on the side patiently awaiting a make-over for a few weeks. Until, that is, it fell to the floor as if to say "Oi! It's my turn now!!" Who am I to argue?
Something a little different as well. Some soot stamping. I love the spooky effect this can produce.
The main stamps used were designed by Rick St Dennis for Smeared Ink's Rubber club. They feature in the Haunted Places set 2. Other stamps are from De Stempelwinkel and stamps from an unknown source - bats and moon with bats.
I scanned the stamped cover before applying. I know how hard it is to get a pic of a round object.
The finished tin - I took pics in different lighting conditions - each shows different properties.

the other side
and the top detail
Some narrow braid applied to the bottom and some fibres to the top with some bat sequins.
I don't know what I'll use it for ... yet. Maybe a sweetie jar for those trick or treaters to dip into..... maybe not.
Thank you once again for all the kind comments from you - the merry band of Horrifying Hoppers.
Tomorrow brings ..... who knows?
Thank you for looking
I'd like to enter my altered tin into the challenge at
Unruly Paper Arts RAQ 2 - Bats (voting starts on 26th October - your vote for the top project would be appreciated)
