I usually avoid scary movies, scary books and scary Halloween! This week on Three Muses the theme is 'Something wicked this way comes'. I started with a piece but it was too scary for me so I started again with the piece below.
Deciding to take a less horrific approach, I painted up some white card stock with Lumiere Halo Blue Gold paint and then stamped and embossed some skeleton keys down the right hand side using distress ink black embossing powder.

| How lovely to see you darling! |
Using artists canvas I painted a half a face with Golden Liquid paints. I discovered that if I mix the paint with Windsor and Newton Matt Medium, it forms a great crackle, so I used that on the hair.
The eye is orange with a red shadow at the top. The text was edged in festive berries distress ink and then I dribbled cranberry alcohol ink down in a couple of spots to represent blood. I finished off the end of the dribble of blood with some glossy accents to make it look still wet.
For those who have a love of all things ghoulish and horrid, I have put the unfinished piece I did below. The monster / ghoul thingy is a transfer technique using heat resistant acetate. I will probably delete it from this post after Halloween because it's just not my style. If anyone would like this postcard piece, I'd be happy to send it to you (or else my shredder!)
Wow Liz...REALLY scary!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery specially creation, love the crackle effect!
ReplyDeleteThe horror monster below is really creepy, I won't meet it.

I don't usually like horror things either, but I think your second one is awesome.. so I am sure someone out there that loves all things horror would enjoy it A LOT! Great work on both Liz :) Sal xx
ReplyDeleteI love what you've created, especially the crackle! Yes, your original piece scared me too :).
ReplyDeleteYour second art piece is great.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree the first one was a little in the deep end of the pool. I'd stay nearer the shore.
I love them both, Liz! For some unknown reason, I really seem to be in Halloween (spooky) mode, shouldn't last more than one more week :)
ReplyDeleteYour technic is impressive and well done.
ReplyDeleteThe first one, below, is perfectly accomplished, and the prove is that it's truly scary!

I like them both, but I do like the second one, it's very effective in its proposal of being scary. Besides, the colors and the composition are perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is way too creepy! And I LOVE your second!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece with the crackle and yes, to look at that face on the first one would creep one out...but it's still good.
