Bewitching Hour by Konstadina Tsihlas

I took five tips buffed them and glued them together.  Took the paper from the forms put it to my finger to give the curve that i wanted  and create the cauldron with black-grey acrylic powder.  I glued the cauldron first in the middle of the canvas to be sure for the right spot.  \nWith black acrylic paint i designed the lines for the stone wall and then covered all the empty spots by mixing acrylic paints (brown, yellow ,beige ,white and black).  

For Snow white start with her head. First  use just beige acrylic paint to give the shape and finish the head with face details (eyes, nose, lips ) and her hair with the bow. Then add shadows and lighting. Start with the top of the dress using blue, white and some details with red. For the bottom of the dress use yellow, white and gold acrylic paints. Use beige for her hand. For the apple  use a piece of wire and take a big ball of acrylic powder dipping first in light red powder and then in dark and give the shape of an apple with a brush. Glue the apple first at the edge of the last tip and then with a small ball of cover pink acrylic powder give the shape of her fingers on the apple. Finish her by painting her 3d hand with beige and brown for the shadows.  

Time for the "Evil Queen" start just like Snow white with beige color for the shape of the head and then add all the face details. After that, with black and white start her cape. With dark and light purple paint the dress and with  gold design her crown and necklace .Also use swarovski crystals to decorate them.  Τo create the 3d glass  use clear builder gel. Give the shape of a funnel with nail form and cure. Then  fill up the piece with swarovski orange crystal pixie  , put gel and cure. Also finish the bottom of the glass with builder gel. With cover pink acrylic powder design just the fingers on the cap. Then glue the piece on the tip and create the rest of the hand with acrylic and paint it beige with acrylic paint and use brown for shadows.  

Witching time!!! Use cover pink acrylic powder to create the face first and then with black powder the cape. Mix yellow powder with white for the hair.  Start working on her left hand separately and then stick it together with acrylic so it looks more realistic. Designe the other hand flat 3d. To complete the witch use acrylic paints .Mix water with brown paint for the skin in that way the paint will go to all the carvings and details that were made before (wrinkles , fingers ,nose, eyes ,mouth.)  For the apple  use a piece of wire  and take a big ball of acrylic powder dipping it first in light red powder and then in dark and give the shape of an apple with a brush. The green poison mix was created with light and dark green gel and glitter. Time to convert the cauldron like a pumpkin. Use 3d lace gel , make long            pieces with your fingers and stick them together one by one . With a dotting tool carve the scary pumpkin face and cure. Give color to the pumpkin with  orange acrylic paint ,brown for the shadows and gold for the eyes. To complete and give a nice look to the pumpkin add all over orange swarovski crystal pixie. Couldn't look better! \n Glue the witch behind the cauldron and create the green poison mix  by using a mix of clear builder gel, dark green glitter gel, light green and white gel. Of course add inside the mix disgusting eyes that you can make with 3d lace gel and some  swarovski beige pearls.  

"Magic mirror". Take a big ball of white acrylic powder and give it an  oval shape. Place 3d lace gel around the piece and do some carvings with a dotting tool and cure. With white play gel add some more details and cure. Of course on the mirror  use mirror powder. First place  grey gel polish (two coats and cure) the non wipe top coat and add the mirror effect powder.  Paint the outer piece of the mirror with  dark gold matte color and cured. Mix water with black acrylic paint and place it. The color penetrates all over the carvings. Then use light gold acrylic paint to light some parts. \n 6)Choose a 3d metal crown and paint it like the mirror. Decorate the mirror with silver swarovski crystal and beige pearls. Last part for the mirror is the painting of  the mask which is talking to the evil queen. Use acrylic paints   

To create the book  fold the paper from the nail forms and with acrylic powder give the shape of a rectangle. Then add a smaller rectangle on the top. Paint the book around with dark brown and the pages with beige. Mix water with brown acrylic color and make some stamps on the book to make it look old. Time to write down the  witches spell with black acrylic paint and design a small spider  (you can see  it in the last photo). Start the front side of the raven with acrylic powder. Put two small pieces of wire for the legs to make sure they won't brake .Then cover the back side of the raven and the wire and add the details. Paint it with acrylic paints. For the candlestick take a big ball of acrylic, put inside a piece of wire and design the bottom with acrylic powder. Make the handle separately and stick it together.  For the candle use 3d lace gel  while using a dotting tool to make it look melted. Paint the piece with acrylic paints and with black and water add shadows. Cut the wire and left a small piece to look like a candle wick. Complete it with the fire by using builder clear gel full of orange swarovski crystal pixie.  

To start the cobweb  create with acrylic powder a star with six lines. Then cover the corners with small lines. \nTake a small ball of black acrylic powder with a lot of liquid on a brush and give color to the cobweb. Also take a piece of wire and create a little spider with black acrylic powder. Draw on the tips a cobweb and two small spiders and glue the 3d piece next to it. Also paint eyes to the spider. Create the skull with 3d lace gel. First give the shape of a ball and then with a brush make the shape of the skull. After that with a dotting tool design all the face details. Paint the skull with acrylic paints. Start with light colors and then add black. Bats are flat 3d .Use black acrylic powder, one acrylic ball for each and give the shape with a brush. Paint the eyes with yellow acrylic paint  

To create the basket use the small sticker from the nail form and give the curve that you want. With 3d lace gel create the base of the basket and with a second piece the handle and cure. Make some candies with 3d lace gel and paint them with acrylic paint with Halloween designs. \nGlue all the candies together in the basket. I f you take a second look you will see that I also used some gold foil and purple Swarovski crystal pixie. Paint the basket with light brown and dark brown for the lines .Finish it with black acrylic paint for the “Trick or Treat” ?
