Old and Gross!!

Well, it seems like it's becoming my modus operandi

to be late with my Wednesday posts.

Keeping with that tradition, here is my

Vile Vintage Ephemera shadowbox.

I have a hoarded supply of 8X8 shadow boxes that I picked up at a

ridiculously low price last season. It didn't occur to me to use one for

this project until late, Tuesday evening. I tore my original project apart,

and started anew around midnight.

Hence my tardiness. 

Creepy ass ventriloquist dummy and his "Papa".

I mounted the photo and aged the whole thing to appear

distressed and forgotten.

I finally got another opportunity to use one of those

cool baby doll eye wood cuts from Pork Chop Show on Etsy. 

Some people find the notion of Nuns and/or Catholicism

to be vile or politely unpalatable.

I lightly sanded the face off of the nun to make her appear

as a demon might when it's being photographed.

Then I added bloody fingerprints to give it some more drama. 

I aged a mini plastic domino and added it to the bloodied playing card.

I also worked in a feather and some lock washers.

I UTEE'd more bits of strange ephemera, and added a handmade tooth.

I think that covers Vile and Vintage Creepy Glowbugg style.

I will list this in my Etsy shop very soon, if anyone is interested.

I'd like to enter this shadowbox in the following challenges:

Smudgy Antics - Anything Goes

Frilly and Funky - texture

Well, I'm off to go work on some commissioned Zombified wedding cake toppers.

I'll post some photos when they're completed.
