Painted Coffins

I love these little light-up coffins that Michaels sells. Painting them is like stress relief for me. This year the lights change colors! I picked up three of them and had a little fun. I also used the lightbox I got from Amazon during a Prime deal. It is small, but I think it works nicely.

I wish I would have planned better and not made the cat black. You can’t really see it that well.



This project put me in the Halloween mood!

Ack, these are so cute! I picked up the cat one this past weekend and have been waiting for inspiration to strike.

You did a great job on the painting! I love how you used multiple colors to create shadow and depth!

I am now repeating to myself, “I have way too many projects in the works. I do not need to go to Michael’s.” I will simply enjoy looking at yours (and @wittychild’s if she gets them posted).

Great first use of your lightbox! What a good investment for getting nice, well lit pics. Now I think we need a picture of the lightbox light off and the coffin lights on!

I think the cat one turned out great. It totally reads as a cat with those stunning green eyes. It reminds me of Beetlejuice when Lydia says, “No feet.” It works!

I picked up the snake one and was waiting for some inspiration as well lol. This did the trick!
I’ll be working on that this weekend.
I was thinking of putting some white tissue paper inside to dim the lights a bit and hide the bulb.

Your shading is on point!
