HDH168 - Hangman's Handiwork

Our challenge at Haunted Design House this week is to use knots or a noose anywhere on your project.

I used one of my digis called Gimpo and made him in to a shrink plastic brooch covered it with 3d glaze then added a little noose I made.

 

Hope you get a chance to pop by and see the Minions work as always it blows me away.

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.

HDH156 - Nosferatu Ad nauseam

This week for Haunted Design House you are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece

that has anything to do with Vampires. Lots of vampires!
Tribute to the unholy Vampire!!
Fangs, blood, sensuality.
We want to see your interpretation of the beautiful or the deadly Vampyre.

 

 

We have a fabby sponsor this week, none other than Rick St. Dennis MFA.

 

 

Rick has a wonderfully dark line of Creepmas images and many
masterfully drawn everyday macabre images.
He also has more mainstream images available as well.

 

Now not only have the Minions been given some digis to work with, but
BOTH Gruesome Twosomes will win 3 digis of their choice.
I think we will be inundated with entries this week!

There is also a challenge blog called Sparkle and Glitter with Rick St. Dennis,
which features a couple of our own Minions as DT members.

 

I chose to use Don't Go In There.  These images are so intricate they don't even need coloured in but it was fun colouring all the same.

 

I recycled a matchsticks chocolate box.  Coloured the image with promarkers and copics.  I made the flower on the right and coloured that with promarkers and drew bats on then stuck some ribbon and tulle coming out of it and made the flower in the centre from paper and added red stickles for the blood.  I also made the soap using parma voilet scent and red drops to indicate blood.  Each soap has the next part of the keyring to be added to the cross keychain which is in the pic.  I added a pic of nosferatu to the bottom of the box and used black glitter glue on the edges to make it darker. I also added a shrink plastic batt ot he right hand corner on acetate to make it look like he is flying above the guy.

 

 

I tried to make his hair look as if it had shocked white with a white gel pen but I don't think it worked out too well.  I still can't get over the detail on the door, very very cool image.

 

This flower was a couple of the cheap ones you get in a packet and I just coloured them up and added stickles to the edge etc as described above.

 



 

Shrink plastic bat with blood drip using stickles and red perfect pearls.

 

NOSFERATU (how cool is he!)

 

Shrink plastic keychains duhhh!

 

The holy water one is blurry but the others turned out not too bad.

 

Now to be in with a chance to win one of the fab prizes from our sponsor you have to enter so get your thinking caps on and get creating.

 

I would also like to enter this in to the Rick St Dennis MFA Sparkle and Glitter challenge No 2 Spooky or sweet. and the not real stamps challenge for Halloween.

HDH138 - Eerie Elegance

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece

that depicts elegance in it's most strangest of forms.
You know the style we're talking about. That strange and bizarre, yet
captivating and intriguing bit of oddness.

This week at Haunted Design House I had problems with this one as I couldn't really think of anything elegant and eerie (well nothing that I could do).  I decided a bracelet was elegant (on the right wrist) and used some eerie Dilly Bean images.  She also has a sale at them moment too.  I traced them on to shrink plastic and coloured them with promarkers, very badly indeed as my three year old was sitting on my knee at the time.   I think it adds to the charm though! haha.

HDH137 - Perplexing Pigment Play

This week at Haunted Design House, we have a Bugaboo as a sponsor and they have most generously offered up 7 digis to the winner.  They have a challenge blog too which I never knew about but am defo going to check it out which is here.

The challenge is called perplexing pigment play and you are to use the colours, black, teal, purple, and lime green.  Basically, anything goes as long as you use the prescribed color palletand make it creepy (cute) in nature.

My hubby is always saying that I bruise like a peach as there is not a day goes by without me getting at least three bruises or cuts!  I am such a clutz, no table or door handle is safe with me around.  So I chose to make my card about bruises seeing as it is perplexing pigment play.

The image I am using is Skelekinz Wings.

I made a keychain with shrink plastic:

I made a card using the colours from the challenge.  I used one three of those inks with the shiny stuff in it (duh) with the chosen colours of the challenge.

I drew the peach with a little worm popping out and hand stamped a bit of rymans card stock and rubbed some purple ink over it with a sponge.

HDH131 - Case a Minion

The Haunted Design House challenge this week is to case a minion.  That is use one of us guys for inspiration (eek).  Well mine is pretty easy, vampires or shrink plastic.  I  made a vampire repellent keychain using shrink plastic.  I just drew larger images of the ones you see, about three times the size then coloured them with promarkers or sharpies, shrunk them (duh really Andrea!), stuck them on a keychain and Bobs your uncle you have portable vampire repellent keychain.  You really would only need it for the vamps from 30 days of night cos let's face it those guys are freaking scary.

Well go check out the other minions and see what you can use for inspiration or just plain rip off hehe.

Little Red Vampire Girl

This is one of my images I have made into a digi.  She is a poor little lost vampire girl with no family (remaining) and no one to look out for her.  She would do better if it weren't for those damn bat wings, sometimes humans think that they are pretend but they get closer and bam she pounces as fast as a lightning strike.  Anyway her name is Alessandra and she is 96 years old hmm.

I coloured the main image with copics for the shrink plastic I used sharpie coloured pens.  The flowers were white and I coloured them with promarkers and drew little bats on them.  I sealed the shrink plastic with anita's 3d gloss and added a shrink plastic keyring.

This is a little bit of a better picture of the shrink plastic keyring.

Anyway hope you are all having a better day than us it is pouring from the heavens.  The kids are going nuts not getting out to play in the garden.
