Happy October!

Joe was away for a couple days last week, so Sebby and I thought it would be a good time to get started on our annual Halloween crafting.  On Monday evening, we journeyed down to our arts & crafts supply depot in the basement to see what we could find. We happily came across some vintage roofing slate Joe picked up for us a couple years ago. Sebby has been wanting to try his hand at painting slate for a while, so we decide to paint Halloween scenes on slate.  Sebby did a great job on this project and we had a really nice time working on it.  Our “art time” is some of the best together times… just Sebby and Mommy.


Here is Sebby with the 'blank slate' he is
about to repurpose into its new life as ART!

Sebby was planning an outer space background,
so he began by painting his entire slate black. 
I liked how it looked, so I did the same to mine.
  
The next day, after the black paint was dry,
we sketched our designs and began to paint.

After painting, we added some finishing
touches with colored pencil.

 
Finished slate- an Alien sucking up Halloween 
Pumpkins into his space ship (very original). 
He really did a great job, huh?!


Last, here is mine- traditional. :-)


Thanks for stopping by Imagi-creation! 
Happy October!
