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:

Well, I'm off to go work on some commissioned Zombified wedding cake toppers.
I'll post some photos when they're completed.

  14. The details on this are amazing!!! Sanding the face off the Nun and the bloody fingerprints are such small but totally cool things to do that add sooo much to this creation.
