A Haunting in Highgate


A Haunting in Highgate 8x10"

Just in time for Halloween (and Open Studios) we have A Haunting in Highgate, another reverse canvas assemblage. I painted the wooden edges with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint and the back and sides with brown acrylic.



A Xerox copy of a photo of Highgate Cemetery provides the background for the tombstone and a pile of skulls- all from Michael's. The edges are draped in dyed and paint-swiped cheesecloth. Skeletons and the hand (Rite-Aid) are nailed and gel mediumed on.



A far cry from my Shabby Chic assemblages,
but rather spook-tacular!
