HDH102 - Queen of the Damned

Well it's another week and another challenge at Haunted Design House.  This week the challenge is to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece that uses royalty, crowns, and/or thrones as the focus.  This doesn't have to focus on the movie with the same name (though it may)... just as long as it has that royally creepy touch, it qualifies!

Queen of the Damned

Well I painted (there's a big surprise) a queen of the damned but it didn't look great on it's own so decided to add some of Susan's fabby papers to add something more to it.

Below is the painting stuck on a canvas with some red card with stickles and using the drippy goo punch and a CROWN charm.  I aslo added some sealing wax and stuck some crosses in to it.

This was my first painting I did but as you can see I got half way through and gave up as it looks kack.  So that is when I started the painting above.

Anyway I hope you find time to play along this week and whatever you do you should go check out the minions blogs they always come up with some weird and wonderful creations.

Autumn Fairy Door

Well after months of neglect of my polymer clay I decided to have a wee play the other night.  These are what I  came up with.  One is a tiny about the size of a very small tangerine autumn fairy door and the other is a brooch.

I also made some little pumpkin earrings but cannot photograph them as these photos above are ridiculously bad as well.

Halloween Embellishments

Well after lots and lots of searching for some Halloween embellishments that you could get in this country and realising that it was a futile attempt.  I started to make my own and am selling them in my etsy shop.  Now these are nowhere near as good as Creepy Glowbuggs brainz and skullz (they are so creepy cute and brilliant).  I have lots of those and they are even better in real life than on pictures.

I have also made some little black cats (familiars), some witch hats, bats and bones but they are drying at the moment.

Nothing like some self publicity hmm (questionable!)

HDH101 - Kreepy Kids

Haunted Design House - Kreepy Kids

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece that uses kids as the focus.  Kids are creepy enough already, but we think you can expand on this theme ;)  Bewitching babies, terrifying toddlers, monstrous middle-schoolers, or taxidermied teenagers WE DARE YOU to creep us out!

I did a digital entry and took a picture of one of my kids when her true colours were showing haha.  The paper I used is from one of Susan's (Crafty Chaos Designs) paper packs.

This little devil wants more fiends, oops I mean friends!

Oh and I wrote down all the names of the entrants for my prize giveaway and got my husband to choose a number and it was Carla aka Scrappypug.  If you contact me my email is in the sidebar I will get your little mini prize out to you as soon as.

Paint Party Friday Week 21

Hi there have only participated once for paint party friday and my good wee buddy Netty seems to swear by it ;p so I will add these two mini paintings that I did for another blogging buddy.

I don't really think they need much explanation.  I mean they are both pretty famous guys.  Unless of course the paintings are that bad and it insn't as obvious as I believed hahaha. The only thing I will say is one of the green dudes is not normally a vampire!
