Grumpoyles - Are they Little Grumpies suffering multiple personality disorder? Are they Gargoyles pretending to have skills needed for Immigration to allow them in? It was very late, almost dusk on a sunny Spring evening when this motley assortment made it to the Down Under Asylum.
Perhaps Immigration needs to check each one.
Toothoyl:
Obviously won't be a drain on our orthodontic budget with these well-honed teeth. The gargoyle silhouette was over-stamped with a tree bark background from Smeared Ink's Urban Decay set. A row of gold nuggets (rhinestones) suggest this guy is well set up for any future dental care.
Zomboyl
Clearly this Gargoyl has eaten something that disagrees with him - that half-digested torso trying to get out... or is it reaching for an Asylum Nurse? At least it arrived with some precious gems in its claws.
Fangoyl
Another wealthy immigrant, a row of precious gem nuggets. But that spider - is it coming, or going? Do we need to fumigate?
Punkoyl
Apparently this fellow dodged the Gargoyle Complex and flew in under his own steam. (steam? Get it? Steampunk? Sure? You really got it now? A Steampunk Lil Grumpie? Just born last month?) Clever you are!!!
Spydoyl
Well Well Well! Is this a spider trying to sneak past our stringent biosecurity? We had to take a swab and do some DNA testing before this punky character was allowed to stay.
Just as we thought they had all arrived and been processed, another stumped in: From the Fringe set, you have to wonder about a being that has a woman at its throat (and a pelvis from another stamp co)
So there we have it, an even half-dozen critters. The Family Portrait (in dusky sunlight):
Lost Coast Designs have an Articulated Skeleton that's been getting a real workout from me the past couple of months - the pelvis on Stumpoyl is part of the set.
Smeared Ink have all the other stamps, I have them in rubber except for the Steampunk Grumpies. They were mostly stamped, coloured, fussy-cut then glued to gargoyle silhouettes which had been cit from cereal boxes - they even had their own food for the journey!
The background in all the pictures is the piece of heavy packing paper that has spent some time in the "spray booth" - so many different colours from Lindy's Stamp Gang pile up and create something that will be marvvellous to recycle into different projects.
P.S. Some would say such a "family" would have their own furbaby. You'll just have to backtrack to Dargoyle on Carmen's Veranda facebook picture to see that beastie.
It's going to take some serious therapy to help these guys DISintegrate their personalities, so life's going to be pretty scary round here - perfectly normal, in other words!
BUT..... Halloween 2016 and WATCH OUT!!!!
