Wretched Wednesday - Metal Mania

I do realize today is Thursday, and it's almost over.

Life really gets in the way and throws a temper tantrum
sometimes.
This is one of those times.

This week's Haunted Design House challenge is

Metal Mania!!

Use metal or something metal-like on your project.

I went literal and used metal embellishments for this one.

I finally used the bat Nesties that I just had to have well over

a year ago. I die cut some cool black leather-like paper and

then layered a smaller bat cut from metal mesh on top.

I used staples to adhere the mesh and then covered them with

my main image.

I layered up a few die cut tags and then stamped the sentiment

using a Paper Make-Up stamp. I also destashed this weird

metal bat-like brad. It works, I guess.

I used this great Jasmine Becket-Griffith image called,

Bat Wings.

I also managed to add Stickles to almost everything to make it

all sparkly. Sparkles make me happy.

You still have plenty of time (until Sunday at 5PM CST) to get

something metal together and join us at HDH for this week's challenge.

You know you wanna play....

Well, wasn't that a nice way to kick off the New Year?
It was great to see all the usual suspects and some
fresh meat as well.
We had quite a few entries for our "Got Goth?" challenge
and CreepyG will announce the Gruesome Twosome
on Wretched Wednesday's post.

Okay Macabre fans,.... your challenge this week is:

HDH115
"Metal Mania"

Giger's "Birth Machine"

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

that uses, includes, or depicts metal in some way. 
You can go very literal with metal embellishments or metallic papers.
Or you can use the Metal music genre for your muse, or maybe some
industrial H.R. Giger type stuff.
Make it dark if you dare!!
We like things a bit more on the spooky side here in 'da house!  

Check out what the Macabre Minions
 have created for your viewing pleasure:

Sultana of the Sinister Lynx:

Pure gorgeousness.

Lynx does nothing half way!

Agent of the Abominable Andrea:

No one does 3D mixed media paintings like Andrea!

LOVE the use of the real key in this one titled,

"The Dungeon Keeper".

Our Devious Digital Demoness Susan

is still out , but is hopefully healing up nicely. 
We miss you Susan! The Mistress makes up split up your chores. 

Temptress of Terror Teri:


Well, well, well.
Look who else is quite the jeweler in the Dungeon!
Beautifully crafted necklace Teri! 

Imp of Insanity Ike:



Metallic elegance if ever there was such a creature!
Gorgeous corset image and then the little creep inside
brings it back to the snarkiness we all love.

Cadaverous Concoctor of Chaos Creepy Glowbugg:
