HDH #178 Macabre Monday Zombies and Creeps

Welcome to week #1 of Macabre Monday challenge,

"Zombies and Creeps."

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

based art piece that showcases Zombies or Classic Creeps 
in some way.

Our Sponsor this week is Simply B Stamps and the Minions are using the Limited Edition Zombies and Creeps digis, one of the newest of the Steampunk Collections drawn by the fabulous Abigail Larson.

I LOVE the Abigail Larson images, they are so intricate and wonderful!

I chose to use Collette.  I coloured her with a mix of cosmic shimmer inks, glimmer mist and distress inks and some watercolour pencils.  She looks a lot better coloured in person and I am really bad at photography so she doesn't look up to much in the photos but is very shimmery.  I also added some Wild Orchid Flowers and some of Glo's fabulous Brains from her etsy shop.  You can also purchase the brains as jewellery.  I have a pendant and a pair of earrings.

 

Get your bahookies on over to HDH to see the other minions creations and to check out the prize.

HDH170 - 13 Unlucky for Some

This week at Haunted Design House you have to use thirteen pieces on your project.

I am terrible at cardmaking so decided to paint thirteen things instead.  It took me longer than I thought to do so luckily I had more than a week to come up with mine.

Below are the thirteen zombies together.

The zombies individually:

 

Don't forget to check the Haunted Design House blog for more detail and to see the wonderful minions work.

HDH158 - Freakers Free For All

We are back, that's right!  Haunted Design House is back in full wicked force.

Okay folks, same rules as last year, except we are making this
a bi-monthly/fortnightly challenge.

Now you have two weeks to participate in our Macabre Monday challenges!!!

Consider it our little gift to you for 2013.

Today's challenge is an easy one,

Freaker's Free for All

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

with no other limitations.
Anything goes!!!!

This week I have chosen to do a digital piece as we are getting our garage converted this month so I have not much access to craft stuff.  On the plus side when the garage is converted I will have my own space to craft to my heart's desire.

The image used is a Rick St Dennis MFA which can be purchased from his etsy shoppe here.



I can't wait seriously for the next part of the third series of The Walking Dead.  I love it.  Luckily I got season 1 and 2 for my Christmas woohoo so am watching that at mo to tide me over.

Well come on easy peasy lemon pie give the dark side of crafting a little try.

Phil Hyne's Zombie Magnet.

I realised only just now that I posted about this on facebook but not on here.  I was extremely lucky enough to win a prize of a customised magnet sculpture of myself made in to a zombie from Holly's Horrorland which was made by the most talented Phil Hynes.


Pretty amazing, it takes pride of place with my brain magnets from Creepy Glowbugg on my fridge, in amongst pics of unicorn and hearts and rainbows that my daughter has drawn.

Anyway just thought I ought to post a pic in case anyone was interested you can get Phil to make customised pieces through either his website or the zombies and toys.  He does wedding toppers, busts, magnets etc.

Dilly Beans Challenge - Zombie Love

What's not to love!

This week at the Dilly Beans Challenge blog, the challenge is zombie love.  Now if you haven't had the chance to glimpse some of the digis at the Silly Dilly Beans shop then I suggest going over for a peek.  There are at least 20 that I want.

Well I used the Olive digi and made her in to a zombie.  I thought I would use this for my hubby as he is a little braniac so I put I love your brain at the bottom.  I have used lots of mica pearl powders on this, my newest thing!

Below is a close up of the brain I used which is from Creepy Glowbuggs etsy shop where you can find lots of cool creations just like this brain embellishment, cards, jewellery and much much more.

Anyway

Playing with Clay

Well these are some of the things I have been working on.  I made a zombie coming out of a brain cupcake (weird not me!) and some brooches.

I know yet again some really awful pics....

HDH109 - INNER WORKINGS

This week at Haunted Design House the challenge is inner workings.  You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece that either is quite literal (clock works or guts) or just simply decorate the inside of your project as well as the outside.

I decided to do a mini zombie coming out of a shell.  So he is the inner workings.

Anyway I am still having problems on some blogs posting comments.  I want to say thanks Marlene for your very detailed help you are a star.

Anyway let us see what you guys can come up with and you should see what the design team have come up with, total genius.  Not to mention Creepy Glowbuggs on Wed!
