Can't Quit Coffin Day 18

As my cold/allergies run it's course, I am currently

in the coughing stage. The coughing really hard stage.

Like so hard you gag and nearly suffocate. Yeah, that's it.

So to make light of my current state, I have made a 

coffin themed project. Funny, right?  

I originally sculpted this for the WOOD themed challenge

at Haunted Design House. I used a coffin shaped cookie cutter

to cut the shape out of white polymer clay. It's a perfect size

for an ornament, so you may be seeing more of these in my Etsy

shop for Creepmas.  

After it was textured and detailed using a needle tool,

it was cooked at the manufacturer's suggested temp of 270 degrees, 

and then I painted it with a couple shades of brown acrylic paints.

To really bring out the details I added a black wash.

Lastly, a Tim Holtz skull and crossbones was added along with 

a jute with wooden bead hanger. 

Still following the coffin theme, I stamped two coffins

from Inkadinkado's Mindscape set onto shrink plastic.

Cut them out, and used the heat gun to shrink them down even

though I still have my trusty Shrinky Dink oven. 

This way is much faster.  

  How fun are these? Such a cool image.

I'll share a few more images from this set with you tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope you get a chance to check out all of the bloggers in these hops.
