HDH163 - Dante's 9 Circles

This week at Haunted Design House you have to take inspiration from Dante's 9 Circles. 

I have chosen Circle No 9 Treachery.  Yes and I painted Gollum the treacherous little hobbity type freak that he is. (I loves me some Gollum).

 

Well you can  choose from fraud, violence, anger, gluttony, lust, limbo or even treachery.

I made an ATC a very YELLOW ATC, using the Voodoo Lady (one of my absolute favs) available in Teri's Digi Shop here.

HDH162 - Drop Dead Gorgeous

Over at Haunted Design House this week the challenge is titled Drop Dead Gorgeous, so this means that you can use anything undead.  I went for the Corpse Bride to base mine on but you could use vampires, zombies etc.

I painted her on a canvas using acrylics.  I made a frame of tendrils coming out of the darkness.  She actually isn't finished.  I haven't done her hair properly yet or shaded quite a lot of it but usually if I don't finish something on the first night, it NEVER gets finished.

 

Anyways let's see what creepiness is lurking in the recesses of your brain!

For a Friend

Over at Crafty Individuals the theme is for a friend.  I had these stamped up on shrink plastic for a few weeks but had no where to cut/colour/cook etc (from £150 pounds worth of goodies I won before Xmas on their facebook page).  I used the rabbits (I think it is Alice Palace).  The Crafty Individuals have some amazing rubber stamps not to mention other goodies.

 

I stamped them on shrink plastic with stazon and then coloured with promarkers.

Octopode Factory n Altered Alice - Hearts and Love

Well I got a chance to play along with the Octopode Factory and Altered Alice this week and their challenge is hearts and the other is romance in wonderland (hearts are romantic!!).  It is getting a bit easier as I now have a designated craft area but still have stuff in other rooms etc.

I made a hanging using Cheshire Cat and a heart I made from cardstock and stamped and embossed it etc.  I coloured the cat with promarkers and then added anita's 3d glaze and added crackle glaze to the hug sentiment.  I also added a flower I made from material.

HDH161 - Gruesome Guardians

This week at Haunted Design House for our fortnightly challenge we are doing Gruesome Guardians. 

 

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en based art piece

using gargoyles, gryphons, dragons, leprechauns, fairies, etc.

 

I chose to do a painting of a Troll who is also part Brownie (her mother was a troll and her father was a Brownie).  She is the guardian of the gruesome cakes.  These cakes are under guard from the fearsome witches who can use these gruesome cakes to conjur up some powerful spells.

 

Brenda the Brownie

 

Gruesome Cakes:

 

The work that the other minions have come up with so far is incredible so I suggest going over there for a peek and maybe giving them some adulation on their blogs and don't forget to tune back next Monday for the next installment of minion madness.
