Macabre Monday "Alone in the Dark" challenge

Just popping in between Zombie posts

and showing you what I did for this week's

Macabre Monday - "Alone in the Dark" challenge
at Haunted Design House.

This week is sponsored by our very own Minion,

Teri from Delicious Doodles!

The very first image I ever purchased from Teri was

The Grotesque Gargoyle.

It was fun to color him in, although I did have

a bit of a time with the shading since I chose

to follow along with the dot technique for most of it.

I like the effect it lends to the gargoyle and it's not 

my normal way of shading so I like the new look to

my coloring.  

I have a fondness for gargoyles (yes, another collection)

and I don't find this guy grotesque at all.

Just wanted to put that out there.

Now for a little show and tell.

This is "Drago", named after Billy Drago.

Gargoyle shelf, awesome Pinky Toast framed print

and Haunted Mansion mini replica placard (I have the vulture one also).

Cat gargoyles on an arch, various other 'goyles

and my beloved "Cosmos". 

Thumb sucking cherub gargoyle, mini Gryphon 'goyle,

and fat butt Gargoyle (and "Mos").

And now, back to our regularly scheduled post.

I ended up fussy cutting this Guardian of the Graveyard,

and sticking him in the foreground of a very dark scene

that I found online.

Please join us this week at HDH for our

"Alone in the Dark" challenge

using black or an eerily dark background (c'mon, how easy is that?!)

sponsored by  Delicious Doodles!!

You have until 10:00PM CST Sunday to play.

HDH055 Elegantly Evil

I don't know what is going on with me lately, but I just can't seem to get my creative groove flowing. I have managed to keep a small trickle going but this is starting to get 

ridiculous! I have way too much schtuff to do!!!!

The challenge for this week's Macabre Monday is "Elegantly Evil".

I toiled and fussed and finally just went with a photo as my focal point.

I went through at least 50 pics before I settled on this one.

His name is Gary and he lives in my front yard.

I felt that Gary personified the whole evil elegance idea, although gargoyles weren't 

ever evil, but rather they protected against it. For the sake of this card, let's say Gary is evil. 

  

I bought a bag of feathers the other day and felt this was an appropriate use for them.

I embossed some blood drips, which now resemble cow spots to me for some reason.

I do like the feathers though.

Please join us over at The Haunted Design House for this week's Macabre Monday challenge.

I'm gonna go try and locate my mojo. I hope the zombies didn't get a hold of it.....
