Haunted Design House

I've been putting off this last post. Maybe I think it will postpone the impending holidaze as well. I'm not ready for Xmas. Are you? We haven't even hung up the nooses in the dungeon yet. We keep up the cobwebs all year long, but not a lot of holiday merriment going on yet. I think we're still hung over from Hallowe'en. The time has come to announce the winners of  our "Samhain Sunset" challenge, sponsored by Aurora Wings . Congratulations to Susan and  Leigh    Fabulous work ladies. Well deserved win!

So sorry for the delay in naming the winners of the past few challenges. No good excuses, just an oversight. The appropriate Minion has had her lashings as a result. Hopefully, she has learned her lesson. "She", would be me. The welts give me character.   BARE BONES #164 Monique and  WendyLynn Skeletal Remains #165 Lady B and Terra and the winner of the Octopode gift certificate is Lorraine Please contact Donna to claim your prize. Stephen King Knightmares #166 Keren and  Matney Congratulations to all of the chosen winners!!

Sorry for the delay, but due to a mucus outbreak , I had to take a day off to rest my drowning head.  My brain is still floating in the goo, so bear with me.  This week our challenge is Bad Moon Rising . We are sponsored by On Cupcake Moon . Deb is offering a $15 store credit to her shops. For more info see this post.   Our Gruesome Twosome from last week's Who are you callin' a succubus? challenge are: Butterfly and Katt Congratulations ladies. Fabulous work!

Thank you to everyone who came out to play in the dungeon with us!! There is still some time left to join in on this week's Big Bad Moon challenge.  We'd love to see your take on our latest challenge! 

The Mistress has sent me to ask that any past winners of sponsored prizes or Master of the Macabres that have not yet received their winnings , please contact her via her email (in the sidebar) to lay claim to your prizes (again). The Dungeon is a wet and humid mess, and it seems as though The Mistress has misplaced her notes. Again. Thank you for your understanding. Have a wicked day!    

It is the middle of the week already. Have you started your project for this week's challenge yet? Hiding in the Corners is the challenge. All you need to do is make something sinister and adorn the corners. Easy enough? I chose to indulge myself, and feed my latest crafting addiction. A rtist T rading C ards. I used Ike's "Honey" image for this serial killer inspired card. Gotta love a crazy hott bitch with a meat cleaver! Blood splatters and all corner adornments accounted for. For this little masterpiece, I have used another of Ike's images called, "WitchyMou". Isn't she wonderfully horrible?! I mounted the image onto an old dictionary page starting with " blood root ". I highlighted the bloody words with some Brick and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks and a water painter.   I used some Y26 &Y28 on her teeth and then used a glaze pen to give them a slimy sheen. I did the same for her ey...

This week we have provided you with a photo to draw your inspiration from. I am a huge Oddities geek, so this photo really spoke to me. Problem was, trying figure out that the hell it was saying! This was a rough one, so I opted for a very literal interpretation. I am starting to enjoy making ATCs, so I thought this would make for a smaller and what I thought would be easier project. Smaller? Yes. Easier? No. It looked pretty good in the sketch phase, but once the colors were added, there was no going back. I don't hate it, but I wanted to feel more proud of it than I am.  Betcha Fiona rocked this one!   Why yes, yes she did!! Beautiful!!   There are still a few more days to join us with for our Insidious Inspiration photo challenge !  We want to see what you see when you look at that picture. And now for the naming of the Gruesome Twosome from last week's Freaker's Free for All challenge. Con...
