HDH-169 Macabre Monday Holey Moley!

For the challenge this week at Haunted Design House you have to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en 
based art piece with more than one hole in it.
 
I was trying for a dragon egg but it didn't turn out well.  I had stamped the bottom layer with a Stampotique stamp then added another layer to be the holes but it never turned out. I think it looks more like something Freddy Krueger would lay lmao.
 
I used the technique I learned on one of the Andy Skinner courses (if you are interested there is a link in my sidebar called the Book of Ruination).
 



 
I just tore that off and started again and ended up with the egg below!
 
 
Holey Moley Freddy Type Dragon Egg
 
I am sure you guys can come up with better than this so get your thinking caps on.  Don't forget to go to Haunted Design House to check out the minions work.

Stop being so hard on yourself. This technique looks fab on the egg. It's very hard to get stamps to show through with this finish. Good to see you putti g gone course to such good results and its the perfect finish for the challenge x
