Who are you callin' a Succubus?! Wretched Wednesday

Image
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 (plura

Macabre Monday HDH147 - Who are you calling a Succubus?!

 *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: HDH147 "Who are you callin' a Succubus?!" You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween -based art piece that depicts a Succubus in one form or another. Just what is a Succubus you may 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

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

Image
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

*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.
