Twisted OZ

Hello all.  I'm finally back...lol.  It was a busy month last month and again I want to thank everyone who participated in our 31 Days of Halloween!  I am posting today in honor of the Bombshell Hump Day Hop.  Although I am not participating in the hop, I wanted to show my support for those ladies who are with my own project.  The monthly challenge on Bombshell this month is to use song lyrics for your project!  So I chose to put my own little twist on The Wizard of OZ!  Go check it out!

As most of you know my mind can twist anything around so that it fits into my little world!  So I figured why not The Wizard of Oz.  This is one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite songs from the movie is We're Off to see the Wizard.  So I took that song and Bombshelled it out.  The "wizard" is an image I received in a very lovely RAK, thank you Nicole, and the "Tin man, Scarecrow,Lion, and Dorothy" are some of my Bombshell Pin-ups.  I colored the "Wizard" with prismacolor pencils then covered the whole thing with a green distress ink.  I stamped the pin-ups on shrink paper and then colored them with paint pens and sharpies before shrinking them.  The background is all either hand painted or colored, even the yellow brick road with some of it's bricks made from clay!  I am really having fun with this challenge and hope that some of you are inspired to join!  Can't wait to see what you create.

Mans Ruin Coffin

Welcome everyone to the last Wednesday of our 31 Days of Halloween extravaganza. Today is Bombshell Blog hop day and I am supe excited to be participating with them today!

The challenge for today was to use the coffin template that was provided to create your own Coffin and do it up Bombshell Style! That is exactly what I did... I had this little skeleton and thought that he would be perfect for this. I used several Bombshell sets, Mans Ruin, Bombshell Angel, Butterfly Queen, and Retro Cowgirls.

You know when you see something and you make up a little story in your mind about what happened...well thats what I did. I saw the coffin template and the skull and thought, why not use these Bombshell Pin-up on the coffin to show the reason this "man" found his way into "skeletonville". Well it made sense in my head!!! This is what I came up with. I painted the coffin black and then added my beloved grout to the inside so that it had that "fluffy" look, like the inside of a coffin. Then stamped the pin-ups in clay along with the skulls and the words Man's Ruin. I added little dots on the coffin lid with a paint pen and some bling here and there!!!

Day 16...Spooky Garage earrings!

Hello everyone and welcome to freaky Friday on 31 days of Halloween!!!  Today my project reflects a personal challenge of Terra.  Although we get together on Mondays and Thursdays and offer you challenges for more entires to 31 days of Halloween Terra offers her own challenge on Tuesdays. They are called Twisted Tuesdays and you can find them on Smeared and Smudged. There is always a cool twist on what she wants you to do. This week she asked that you use a piece of real hardware (from the hardware store, not the scrapbooking store) somewhere on your project. So that is what I did, I made earrings. I used a skull stamp from Bombshell stamps and stamped in lightweight clay, then baked cooled and painted them. I added dangling lock washers and wing nuts. It was quite fun raiding the garage for my things and luckily I found some in new packages. Now I'm just going to pretend I never saw them when the hubby asks for them...LOL no really he probably won't they were in the bottom drawer of the big tool box he has. Of course the last place I looked!

Day 6... Totally Wicked Tuesday

Hello everyone, first let me start off by saying thank you so very much for all of your lovely comments. It makes me very happy to know that you all like my creations. As the post title states it is day 6 of our 31 Days of Halloween and I am so enjoying creating things. I hope that you all enjoyed our Monday challenge of Witches. I also hope that you all will participate in our challenges.

Today I decided to make a creepy necklace for my daughter. This is not the first one I have made for her but it is the first one I made totally all my own. I stamped the images in clay and then painted them with red and black acrylic paints. On the insets I used liquid glass from Close to my Heart to make them stand out. The necklace itself is made,very painstakingly I might add :), using head pins that I linked together to give it that spiderweb look. I know, I know the images are a little blurred but they were the best of the ones I took and of course by the time I realized this my daughter was in bed and had the necklace with her!!! So let me know what you think of today's project, and remember to hop on over to see what Terra created today!

Remember to leave me some love, or at least tell me what you think of this project!

Day 4...Halloween Trinket Box

Today I chose to make a trinket box for all the little goodies I want to keep for Halloween. I found these little boxes at Michael's a while ago when they were on clearence! This one was on clearence because one of the little screws on the clasp was missing so I scored with a 50 cent box!!!! I don't need no stinkin clasp! LOL For this one I painted it black and then used silver distressed crackle paint from Tim Holtz. I then stamped my images into clay, and after it baked and cooled I painted them. The witch on her broom I base coated in gray, then wiped off with a papertowel. Then brushed walnut ink stain over it and also wiped it off with a papertowel. Finally I brushed black paint on the high points. For the words, Witching you...a Haunting Halloween, I wanted to go darker with, so I used black and purple on them. So there it is my Halloween trinket box.

I hope you are enjoying this lovely tour of our 31 days of Halloween! Be sure to come back daily for more freakishly wicked Halloween projects, challenges, and fun! For more informationon how you can win the HUGE blog candy and to see pictures of it go here.
