Voodoo part deux

This was actually my first version of the cool

Voodoo Lady image from Kraftin' Kimmie.

Once I had her all colored, the map part of the 

Haunted Design House challenge didn't really work. 

I totally love this image! So cool!!!

I did struggle with what color to color her face.

I decided to go with a charcoal face and a white

mask like the Voodoo Priests in Nawlin's.

I think I ended up with more detail on the one I colored

with colored pencils. I'll keep them handy just in case I decide

to practice some more.

Wretched Wednesday - Get Lost!

I have been having a hard time focusing on the

task at hand lately.

Lots of life changing experiences hapening lately.

The dust has started to settle and the healing has

begun, so it's time for the big girl panties and let's

get back to business. 

I finally managed to create my Get Lost! project

for this week's Macabre Monday challenge.

As soon as I saw this Voodoo Lady image

from Kraftin' Kimmie,

I knew she would be mine. Yes, she would be mine... 

I took an Old World map I found on Google

and chopped it in half and distressed it. 

I used both halves to layer behind my main image.

I also made my own background paper with an

ancient clear stamp of a compass and some

Sepia Versamark, some clear embossing powder,

and some Stickles.

And then for my big "step out of my comfort zone",

I colored with watercolor pencils on kraft paper.

It was fun and different to use the pencils. It seemed to 

take longer, but the end result is pretty cool.

I need some more pencils, but I am not into the whole

Gammasol and baby oil blending, so it's cheapy

Coloray or Col-erase pencils for me!

There is still plenty of time to enter

this week's Macabre Monday challenge!!!
