Macabre Monday #027 - Gothic Asian Persuasion

By -
HDH Macabre Monday Rules:
1. Create a Halloweenie SOMETHING (card, scrap page, altered item, whatever) that follows the specific Macabre Monday challenge given. Cutesy is fine, but creepy is better :)
2. You have until the following Sunday night @ 5pm central time to post your creation and please leave a direct-link back here.
3. If you upload to any online galleries (TACPCC, S&S, PCP, SCS, etc.), please tag the title using HDH027.
4. Weekly giveaways!  Some weeks will be loaded with loot, others not-so-much... but the thrill is in the win, right?!  Some prizes shall be by random drawing, others hand picked... and I'm not telling you ahead of time :)
5. I'll be selecting a weekly Gruesome Twosome (my top two favorite creations) from all the players. At the end of every month these will be compiled and a Master of Macabre will be selected. He/she will be asked to be a guest blogger for the following month, if they so wish, and receive a little giftie from me... this could be stamp sets, handmade items, papers, halloweenie embellishments... you just never know.

Ok, my little pretties... your challenge this week:
Gothic Asian Persuasion

 You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween page, project or card using an image with an Asian influence.  Anime, Kanji, Asian lithographs, menus from your local Chinese food place... whatever!  As long as they have a Gothic or "dark" twist :)

And, since I had a crazy-busy weekend with a Shriner event and then an all day Copic certification class (yeay!) on Sunday, I did not get my challenge card finished :)  I told you before... SLACKER!  But, I'm hoping to play tomorrow, since I took the day off from work... and no house cleaning!

I will also catch everyone up on Gruesome Twosomes & prize winners recap!!
Really.  
I mean it.
Seriously.
I swear :)

Oh no. I still haven't got a thinking cap - and I need one urgently as this theme is very challenging, Barb.
Well, I'll do my very best: shop the Asia stores around my flat, search the flyers at the local gothic fashion boutique (I have still a gift certificate - that would be killing two bats with one stone), ask at the travel agency for some catalogues about Asia. But I cannot promise that I will come up with an idea.
Great challenge, Barb!

Well, well, well, look who's opening the dungeon door... Time for some air in here! That's right, the Minions (well most of us anyway) have returned for a little play in the dungeon. We really missed each other's company, and the daring souls who liked to drop by every now and again. While we have all gone in opposite directions since the dungeon door  slammed shut a while back, we have regrouped for a bit  to share in our fondness for the dark and weirdness of our beloved Haunted Design House.  First up, we have our esteemed  Sultana of the Sinister Black Dragon The Fang-tasmogorical  Fiona Contagion of Corrosion Croms Agent of the Abominable Andrea Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Monique Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg  Devilishly Deviant  Donna Spreader of Sickness Susan Thanks so much for dropping by our dungeon today.
