Tera presents 'All Aboard' by Holly Durr

       Hallo,
          Showing off a little Halloween decoration for you today - I made this from a plaque that is about 8.5 inches wide and almost 12 inches tall.
         I used this great image from Holly Durr called 'ALl aboard' and colored her with prismacolor and polychrome pencils.
         I am in a Halloween mood and the colors I colored her with seem perfect for Halloween too - even though I didn't plan that when I colored her :)
       I used some Halloween chandelier paper and some Halloween chipboards - sprayed with glimmer mist and then rubbed with walnut distress ink - behind her and edged all the panels with copper metallic pen. I added some fun Halloween embellishments and the flowers I sprayed with glimmers mists too and added a pretty metallic flower too and a couple rhinestones for a bit more bling.
   I used a Halloweeen mask to have her hold instead of a ticket.
   All for today - Have a great Halloween!!!
      Tera

I am about to adventure into the life of Retirement and am looking forward to significantly more time in the studio, playing with my Grandkids and traveling now and then with the hubby. I have spent 41 years as an RN - mostly in Critical Care. I picked up painting and more formal art again when my kids went from High School into college. I have always done some form of art, even in the busy years of Career, Mom, Military wife - mostly in the crafty forms(sewing, rubber stamping, its a long list...) Now I mainly paint with encaustic wax. Encaustic is an ancient art form from Greece and Egypt that uses beeswax, natural tree resin and pigments. Encaustic is painted while melted in thin layers and every layer is fused to those below with heat( I mostly use a torch). True to my 'normal' self I have 3 or 4 other hobbies that keep me busy too , and you will be seeing(and have been) those here too.

Tera presents 'All Aboard' by Holly Durr

Hallo,
Tera here with one of Sweet Pea Stamps newer images from new artist Holly Durr. She is called 'All Aboard' and I colored her with polychrome pencils.
I just love the wings with the gears and stuff - so cool.
I mounted her to a shimmery gold cardstock and added a couple touches of glitter on the gearsm her hat and lips.
I also edged both layers with gold metallic pen and added some gold corner stickers.
All for me today - back to coloring :) Ahhh happy me today :)
