I am here....at last!

Sorry I didn't post last week, dreadful cold, not nice! Anyway that seems to be diminishing thank goodness and art is starting to flow again.

So everything is starting to look very much like Halloween is around the corner.

Batman's hat?


No, it's the bat himself, a little deflated, but we can sort that out. 
Much better!
I see a pale bat and I want to paint it black,.... so I did.
Now for some detail
We tried green, but he didn't like it.
Red, that's better for a vampire bat.
Just needs finishing off now
Also playing with spooky ATC's

I made some ATC size coffin templates.
Found a nice vintage picture of a handsome chap.


And did horrid things to him.

Then of course there is the new jelly mold!!!
It's a brain!

My new web site is up and running, please have a look,

And an Etsy shop   https://www.etsy.com/shop/ARTefactoteum

Please have a look and like things!!!
See you later. xxxx
