In the present day’s look simply didn’t wish to come collectively in my head. The immediate was Lifeless the Halls and I had loads of concepts that I may paint for it, however nothing actually stood out to me. My sticking level was that I had this monster Christmas wreath picture I needed to make use of, nevertheless it didn’t slot in with every thing else. In my head, wreaths are to be held on doorways and perhaps a banister, however they don’t simply match hanging on the wall. And the thought I needed to go together with was adorning the home with monster portraits. So after approach an excessive amount of time overthinking issues, I set the thought of utilizing the wreath apart and centered on my monsters. This ended up taking it out of the vary of Christmas and extra purely Halloween, however I feel it nonetheless slot in with the others due to my background.

Possibly. Hopefully.

I actually cherished the background for this nail artwork. I threw it collectively on a whim intending it for a special mani that I had to surrender on resulting from time constraints. And I actually may have posted it by itself as a result of it’s fairly fairly and lots of people would favor it over the nail artwork I normally do as a result of it’s extra impartial. Sorry, suckers, however I’m doing this passion for me. 😈

So I finally did use it with the monsters and they’re lovely. I needed it to appear to be a household as a result of this was “house”. I saved the stamping decals cohesive by making all of the frames copper and filling every thing with the identical 4 colours (inexperienced monster pores and skin for the win, though…who matches their pillowcases to their face?). I do want I’d spent extra time freehanding the cobwebs, however I had run out of time and wanted every thing to be dry sufficient so I may take images. So I rushed it slightly and it’s high-quality.

I do wish to push myself extra within the freehand division this 12 months. Wanting again I’ve solely been throwing in slightly freehand right here and there after I needed to and I can definitely do greater than that.
