Okay, macabre fans... your challenge this week:

HDH148
"Bad Moon Rising"

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

that depicts a BIG BAD MOON.
Make it full, waxing, waning or crescent. Just make it big
and the main focus of your wonderfully wicked project.
Cute will get you in the door, but the Dungeon prefers things
creepy and dark.

Our sponsor this week is

Deb is one of the wonderfully talented and sweet people I have had

the pleasure of working with and befriending here on the Internet. She creates the most

adorable hand drawn characters, and then prints them onto personalized

invites, banners, cupcake toppers, labels, business cards, etc. 

Anything you may need for a party or celebration. Or for your business

or personal mailing needs. 

She also has a CafePress shop where you can order all kinds of

 schtuff with her images professionally printed on them. I personally can

attest to the quality of all of Debs items. I have pint glasses, an awesome apron,

labels, Xmas cards, business cards, magnets, etc.. all with Deb's wonderfully whimsical images beautifully emblazoned on them. Am I gushing? Did I also mention that

she has a Skull Cupcake line too? Yes, she is one of us, even if she is a bit on the

cuter side of the darkness.

Deb has generously offered up a $15 store credit to any of her shops.

If you can't wait to win the grand prize, she is also running a fabulous

Anniversary sale right now on her website and her Etsy shop.       

Now it's time to check out what the Minions have created this week
to represent the BIG BAD MOON.

creation and the Gruesome Twosome from last week's challenge.

Who are you callin' a Succubus?! Wretched Wednesday

Due to my (un)healthy obsession with television and my

(un)natural love of my DVR, I am officially a TV junkie.

I record so much TV every week, but I do manage to watch

some really cool and strange and funny shows that I would

probably miss if I had to rely on the antiquated way of watching TV.

One of my favorite shows to watch is "Lost Girl" on Syfy channel.

At first I wasn't feelin' it, as it started right after "Being Human" and I

had a hard time transitioning from werewolves and vampires, to the world of

the light and the dark Fae. Huh? Isn't that the premise for "True Blood"? 

Anyhoo, as result of my having a girl crush on "Kenzie" (the main character's sidekick),

 I was inspired for this week's challenge.

Yup! That was me!!  

 

"Who are you callin' a Succubus?!"

 

What exactly IS a Succubus you ask?

In folklore traced back to medieval legend, a succubus (plural succubi) is a female demon or supernatural being appearing in dreams, who takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual intercourse. The male counterpart is the incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated intercourse with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even death.

In modern fictional representations, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress; whereas, in the past, succubi were generally depicted as frightening and demonic.

Now ya know. 

 

We are sponsored by Kenny K who has such a talent for drawing hot ladies.

And he also draws some really cool guys and animals too! 

Kenny has generously offered up 2 digis of choice to each of the GTs this week!

 

Up first, is Fiona using Carmen Electrafying from Kenny K. 

 

 

Super cool use of both wicked images together!

 

 

 

I went in another direction entirely.

 No matter how hard I tired to keep in the dark, Gothic vein, the cards I was working on kept going in the vintage, faded direction. I even switched images thinking I could

darken up Jane Jettpack, but she turned out rather vintage in over all feel.

 

Can you say, "Hottie"?!

 

The challenge has been set.

Let's see your sinister, your wicked,

your naughty ladies!!

You have until Sunday at 5PM CST to enter!!

Check back on Wednesday for Creepy Glowbugg's and Fiona's
creations and the Gruesome Twosome from last week's challenge.

Attention past winners!!!

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!   

Wretched Wednesday Hiding in the Corners

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.

Artist Trading Cards.

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 eyes. Slimy, I say! 

As the piece de resistance, I used a preciously tiny polymer clay

cauldron, crafted from my talented Minion Sister, Andrea.

I added some potion vapors and bubbles from paper scraps and Stickles.

Perfecto! 

Speaking of Andrea, she is joining me today with her awesome creation.

Andrea chose to work with the wicked WitchyMou too.

She's quite popular down in the Dungeon.

Andrea has layered WitchyMou onto some layers of melted tulle

(I don't know how she does that!) and adorned each corner with equal 3D wickedness.

So nice to have a little company in the Dungeon in the middle of the week.

Please join us this week and show us what's hiding in your corners.

 And now for the naming of the Gruesome Twosome from last week's

"Insidious Inspiration" photo challenge.

Congratulations to

Vee

and

Lisa

Congratulations ladies.

Fabulous work!

Please grab your badge and display it proudly.

Taking back the crafting world,

one creepy project at a time.  

Keep 'em comin'!

*Please see the sidebar for HDH Macabre Monday Rules*
(Note: entries not following the guidelines are not eligible for prizes or badges)

Okay, macabre fans... your challenge this week:

HDH146
"Hiding in the Corners"

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

that is obviously adorned in the corners.
It doesn't matter if it's an ATC, a painting, or a 3D project.
It must have something lurking in or on it's corners.
As usual, creepy cute will work, but the Minions really get
a warm and fuzzy feeling when we see beautifully scary,
tastefully macabre, and gorgeously Gothic inspired pieces.
Just sayin'.

We are sponsored this week by

 

Stitchy has generously offered up a $10 store credit to one

lucky winner.

Now it's time to see what the Minions have hidden in the darkest
recesses of their corners.
