One thing we are super bad at doing down here in the dungeon is choosing winners for our challenges. Time for some Gruesome Twosome catch up. The Gruesome Twosome for our Eerie Inspiration challenge: Crafty Inknik and An English Lady The GTs for our Alien Abduction challenge are: Elephangaro o and An English Lady Unable to upload a photo, but worth clicking the link to see! The GTs for our Deja-Vu Doo challenge are: NysBiz and Teresa And finally, the GTs for the Ferocious Furballs challenge: Elephangaroo and   Teresa Whew! What an amazing display of creative, and wonderfully weird, dark art! The Minions were just mumbling something about having the best challenge entries in the crafting world just the other day.  (Zombie) hands down.  No cookie cutter, cutesy schtuff here.   Only uniquely creative types need apply . Thank you to everyone who plays along with us every cha

Macabre Monday: I Scream for Ice cream!

Got a little tied up in the dungeon yesterday,  but I am ready to announce the new challenge theme. Are you ready?  Now we ask that you create something that is directly inspired by this incredibly sweet little film. Remember to keep it on the creepier side. No cute stuff, please. Let's see how the Minions interpreted this film into their work. Fantasmagorical Fiona  Devious Digital Demoness Susan Creepy Glowbugg So what do you think? Are you up for the challenge?

Ferocious Furballs week 2

Ferocious Furballs is the challenge theme for week 2 of Macabre Monday. Interpret it any way you'd like, just make sure an animal of some sort, is involved in some way. Maybe use a gruesome guinea pig, or some wicked waterfowl as your inspiration. Who knows, maybe a macabre muskrat and a catatonic coon hound are more to your liking. Make it weird, wacky, scary or clinical. Just don't make it cute!! Maniacal Mother of Mayhem Mo Creepy Glowbugg And please help me in giving Susan a warm welcome (back) to the dungeon. It's been about a three year hiatus, but the motto of the dungeon is: "Once a Minion, always a Minion" .   Devious Digital Demoness Susan So now might be a good time to dust off those cute animal stamps and make something dark and scary with them. Or not. We'd love for you to join us for our Ferocious Furball challenge. Enter your fuzzy makes here .

Welcome back for the second week of the Macabre Monday Deja-Vu Doo challenge .  That's right, you have another week to play along with us. We're looking for a new project featuring a previously used technique, supply, idea, whatever, and use it in a new, creative way.  Creepy Glowbugg Here's what I did.  I previously made this box: An altered paper mache box with feet. And this time, I made this box:  Altered wooden, coffin shaped box, with feet. Get the idea we're after here? How about what  Devilishly Deviant Donna  made? Previous project  An altered papier mache skull And this time  A metallic steampunk altered papier mache skull I hope today's inspiration pieces have helped to coax your mojo out of hibernation.  C'mon! Play with us!
