HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE DT CREATION

Hi there spooky Peeps,
I am rushing to get this one up and published too. !!!
This is my DT piece for the second half of our current Challenge over at HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE - "The Nights Are Drawing In". Halloween is quickly creeping up on us, so we are all getting prepared for the fun and spooks :-D

I have converted an old box into a sort of window.
I used a stencil and some home made paste to do the brickwork and the coloured it with acrylic paints.
The ivy is done with my "Ivy Corner" digital image from IKEsART.
I added a glow in the dark plastic skellie down the bottom to look like he was creeping out of the crypt.

The crypt portcullis was cut using a Silhouette SVG file.

On the top there is a gargoyle made with a DELICIOUS DOODLES image - "GROTESQUE GARGOYLE" and I printed him several times and fussy cut him to make him 3D. When I had finished layering him up, I dipped him in my Melting Pot. :-)

Right inside at the back I have used my "Castle Room" digital image from IKEsART.

I did put a candle in there but for the life of me, I couldn't get the darn photograph to come out properly :-(

Well, I have to rush now, but I hope you will come over and see what my fellow Minions have made to show you, and maybe even play along with us. :-D

See you at HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE. :-) You know how it works - share your creations on this month's theme, but keep it macabre and creepy, not light and sweet.xxx

MACABRE MONDAY HDH150 - "OH, MY GOURD" !!!

Hello and Happy Monday.
This week over at HAUNTED DESIGN HOUSE out Theme is to do with Pumpkins.

HDH150 
"Oh My Gourd!!!"

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

that utilizes, mimics, infers, or is otherwise obviously 
gourd or pumpkin inspired.

We have a wonderfully creative and timely sponsor this week!!
Funworld's Floating Pumpkin Hangers

                                     

Now since I don't have one of these kits AND Pumpkins are not available here in Greece at this time, I improvised... with an Aubergine :-D LoL  Well, they do have a great colour.
Here's what I made....

and here's his bruvva'  LoL 

I much prefer carving pumpkins coz I could get inside these little suckers, but I think their stalky 'hats' look cool.

Well, I hope you will come over and play along with us this week, and feast your eyes on the gorgeous creations from my fellow Minions :-D

* These aubergines were grown by a Greek neighbour and are about the size of a tennis ball. They are posed sitting on the pen holder for my Wacom :-D
