The Pumpkin and the Lighthouse

Happy Halloween!!!!!

This is that rhinestone pumpkin that I featured a week or so ago.  I decided to salvage it when I ran out of the rhinestones, so I cut a section out of the blank side and made a little scene.

I covered the piece I sliced out in black fabric and painted orange glitter paint over it.  It fit nicely into the hollow center.  I covered the inside with spray adhesive and stuffed the fabric in.  It's not perfect, but I actually like the rumpled way it looks.  I also glued silver stars onto it.  I put the floor in and glued it in place, then I put a layer of orange glitter glass chips all around it.  Next, I got a few twigs from outside and glued those in the back.  Then I made a pointy fence out of toothpicks painted black.  Added the moon to it too.

I have quite a few Halloween and fall themed resin figurines, and I loved how this one looked the best of all of them.  I glued it in and then surrounded it with the orange glass chips too.

I really need to add some trim or some kind of edging to it but I have misplaced my lace at the mo.

I got this blue metal and glass lighthouse thing from a thrift shop and knew exactly what I was gonna do to it. First I etched shells on either side and a sunset/water scene on the back. 

I had to go to the beach to get the stones because I didn't have enough of the right size in my own stash.  I painted them with clear nail polish to make them look wet.  I glued some along the back then glued the wooden lighthouse inside, and then just glue a layer or so of rocks around it.

Then I put slanted layers of light and dark blue and white craft glass against the rocks and lighthouse to look like water and waves

Have a great and safe Halloween everyone!
