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.
