You Have Been Waiting for This.....

Our Asylum Anne has been at work again this month!  We gave you part of the story on the 1st...evil we are!  But we have decided you have waited long enough so here it is with her fabulous story!

 

" For me, the July challenge was to incorporate a digistamp from Ike's Art I had chosen "Giger", a rather abstract shape with a skeleton, possibly owing something to Zombie-ness, and possibly, with those pipelines, hinting at steampunkery. I printed it onto acetate, and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens. Nothing was gelling for a while, until the "theme" came to mind: Police dragging evidence out of the sea: a long-lost, partly-decomposed diver, partly rotted, partly still in his/her diving suit. I've done a lot of overtly maritime pieces lately, and couldn’t throw it off completely. I've also been experimenting with subtle backgrounds, so using Distress Ink colour Iced Spruce onto the cream tag for the skull-bone background stamp was a start. Though I masked off the police box-helicopter, and where Giger would go first. It wouldn't be a tag without something threaded through the top, so out with the spool of crinkle wire. The police box and propellors were outlined in glossy accents - it comes with such a controllable fine nozzle, whereas tar gel I'm drizzling off a kebeb skewer.

 

" Then it was out with the tar gel, to imply water dripping off the corpse as it was lifted up by the police chopper. The trick is to start at the bottom and drizzle it upwards, to show the water trailing out from the body. Into the tar gel I sprinkled watch parts, especially those teeny tiny parts that can be so hard to use up!. On top of that I sprinkled white glitter. When it was dry, I shook off the excess. The cable winching it into the sky is a length of crinkle wire - again hinting at the steampunk theme."
