Let the holidaze begin!!

No surprise that I am giddy with the onset of the best

holiday ever. The countdown to Hallowe'en has begun!

Actually, the countdown begins over again on November 1st, but

you get the idea. I bleed orange and black all year long.

This card is for the current/new challenge at Dilly Beans challenges,

Hallowe'en. 

Sorry for the blurry picture. I already mailed the card, so this will have to do.

Once again, I have been inspired by the incredibly witty word art from 

Ginger's House. 

Sometimes the word art is just what I need to get in gear and make something

out of nothing. Or at least find my mojo.

Since Megan doesn't really have a typical zombie image, I opted to 

bedeck Nutmeg (#533) in full Hallowe'en regalia.

I went for a dot coloring of her hair, as I am at a loss as to how

to color that awesome fro she's sporting.

I broke out with this cute tombstone brad although it had a big scratch

in the paint. I just got out my needle tool and added some more scratches

to give the idea of cracks rather than a scratched up, misfit brad.  

It's cute, right?

Thanks for dropping by! You should check out the other DT's 

Hallowe'en themed work on the Dilly Beans challenge site.

Maybe you'll even be inspired to play along!    

  

BWAINZZZZZ!!! and some Zombie WIPs

Zombie Apocalypse

 is this week's challenge theme

at Haunted Design House.

Zombies. Easy. Done! My area of personal expertise if I dare.

This is my challenge. I'm all over it.

And I sit, and I continue to sit some more and I ponder

the possibilities of this challenge. Do I use a digital image

or do I use one of the new SBS Zombies? Do I even make

a card, or should I sculpt something? Yes, clay that's good.

Now what to sculpt? A whole Zombie? I'd like to add that this

internal conversation was happening at like 2AM on Wednesday.

An entire Zombie sculpt is not going to happen. The pressure 

really kicks in when I see what fellow DT member, Lynx made.

Really? And I'm supposed to be the Zombie girl?

I conceded a few times, but finally went with what I am

currently working on anyway.

I give you...

"GlowBwainz"!!!! 

These are about the size of a quarter and are flat enough to

use on paper crafts. 

They are perfect as cabochons or for use on other crafts.

I picture these on a trinket box in leui of rhinstones or

a cameo.

Hmmm... the seed was just planted.

These two were some prototypes with bites taken out.

I made some that actually do glow in the dark,

and I also made some as pendants too.

Check my Etsy shoppe for these brains and some

larger, more detailed sTeAmPunKiNs in the coming days.  

And here is a project I have been dying to get to for weeks!

I have taken these sweet, resin cherubs

and transformed them a bit.

Can you see where this is going?

I plan to make them in to magnets and or lapel pins.

Stay tuned...
