Chunky Houses Halloween Edition 2023 GALLERY

@AIMR Your peeking owls on thanate’s house are so cute. I like the use of the vine. I have one that is similar, but in black. I might steal that idea for a different craft.

@Bunny1kenobi Creepy cool house! How did you make the cave walls around it? They look 3D.

@curiousfae Wow, that house looks like a shrine to fortune-telling! It’s really cool! I like the starburst at the top–is it in paper or wood? Did you make that chonk-a-chonk base?

Glad you like it! I found each element separately so it’s a collage of sorts. I was very leery that they wouldn’t gel with each other but it ended up working.
The crystal ball gave me some issues. In my head adding glitter glue would make it 3dish but it kinda came out bumpy and not smooth. A couple of diamond glue layers later and some silver paint pen and I had to call it good. Not quite what I imagined but you get the picture.

The bases I found at a big box store on sale for like a buck! It had a saying on it that I could easily cover up.

The cave walls and antlers are made from air dry clay, which I painted after it dried.

I love the addition of clay to give it dimension. I have not worked with clay much at all, but I see so much potential for its use. Great, and very scary, job!!!

I didn’t pick up on the antlers being the same material. You did a good job differentiating with texture and color.

gorgeous goodies!

The spooky Halloween village is growing. The most fun is the amazing variety and all the details.

I received from @curiousfae and she out did herself. The packaging was fun, the inside box a treat and then. A haunted abbey!

Those are some excellent imagery! I like the addition if the large rose and the use of… is it pop tabs? Or something? That brings it out. What a cool theme!

Thanks guys! The background was a postcard from a Tim Holt set along with the flower. The figure and urn are from one of those collage books (I’m obsessed with all the fun images in them). They were stickers but I mounted them and used puffy adhesive mounts to give it some depth.

So glad you like it @marionberries !
