Can't Quit Coffin Day 18

As my cold/allergies run it's course, I am currently

in the coughing stage. The coughing really hard stage.

Like so hard you gag and nearly suffocate. Yeah, that's it.

So to make light of my current state, I have made a 

coffin themed project. Funny, right?  

I originally sculpted this for the WOOD themed challenge

at Haunted Design House. I used a coffin shaped cookie cutter

to cut the shape out of white polymer clay. It's a perfect size

for an ornament, so you may be seeing more of these in my Etsy

shop for Creepmas.  

After it was textured and detailed using a needle tool,

it was cooked at the manufacturer's suggested temp of 270 degrees, 

and then I painted it with a couple shades of brown acrylic paints.

To really bring out the details I added a black wash.

Lastly, a Tim Holtz skull and crossbones was added along with 

a jute with wooden bead hanger. 

Still following the coffin theme, I stamped two coffins

from Inkadinkado's Mindscape set onto shrink plastic.

Cut them out, and used the heat gun to shrink them down even

though I still have my trusty Shrinky Dink oven. 

This way is much faster.  

  How fun are these? Such a cool image.

I'll share a few more images from this set with you tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope you get a chance to check out all of the bloggers in these hops.

31 Days of Halloween

Countdown to Halloween 

  

HDH072 Hell Hath No Fury...

...like a woman scorned.

Who didn't know?

This is a late submission for this week's

Macabre Monday challenge.

Basically, it's to represent a bad ass chick on a rampage.

This is a bit mild (and pink) for me, but hey, I've been sick!

This is 'Cheyenne'. 

I entered the Kenny K, "Name that Krash Kitten" contest a while back

and this is the image that Kenny chose to go with the name I submitted.

As a prize I won this image and two others. You'll be seeing them pretty soon. 

This started out as a Valentine's Day card, but once the challenge went out

and then I found this killer "sentiment" to go with my cowgirl, it was on!

(Sorry for the blurry pic - still getting the hang of the new camera.) 

I am rather proud of the coloring on this one. It's in some colors I rarely use,

but I have found that I have the right combo for a nice blended effect.

I got to use some "destash"  which would be the black and white snakeskin ribbon,

and the pink snakeskin paper. I added some bling and some embossed paper, and then

popped some Sizzix corners on for fun.

Drop by the Haunted Design House blog 

to see what the other ladies have cooked up for your enjoyment.

Maybe even play along if you're feeling inspired. 

While I was out sick I was still being creative, but in ways that the snot

wouldn't run outta my face everytime I had to look down!

I made some cute earrings for my Etsy shoppe.

Cute coffin hearts for Valentine's Day.

Glitter and glass beads added to make 'em purdy.

And who doesn't love a coffin cupcake?

So cute, why not get two?

I made a bunch of coffin themed earrings and listed them in

my Etsy shoppe (link is in the sidebar) today.

I am open to custom orders and am willing to put anything on a coffin.

Anything.

Keep it creepy!
