Day 7 31 DOH~Lady Catrina in the Flesh...Oops No Flesh!

Welcome Back for Day 7 of 31 Days of Halloween!

Today we want to announce the Winner of our September Challenge, too! Special thanks to all of our amazing players last month! We really loved seeing new faces and so many cool projects! Huge thanks to Karen of Lunagirl Vintage images for sponsoring us and giving us great images to create with!!

Our Winner is.....#15 RORA with the fantastic altered Halloween Frame!
Please email us at dreamindarknessblog@gmail.com for your badge & prize info.
CONGRATZZ!!


Now it is CT Nan's turn to play...

I saw a neat Youtube video on the making of the Lady Catrina.  I got really messy with this one after making a wire armature for her body a lot of newspaper and modeling paste from Grumbacher made her rough spots smoother.  Maybe I should try it on my rough spots?? Hmmmm...maybe for a later in the month reveal :)


She knows how to strut her stuff!


And those close ups are a must have in her portfolio!


Look at that rock on her hand!  Maybe given by the donor of the rib cage?  Must be love of the eternal kind :)

Her head is a Dylusions skull stamp in air dry clay with Gelatos smushed around on it. The rib cage that her stylish dress is revealing came from an awesome and willing male skellie who just was dying to give it to her.  Unfortunately, she had lost hers at a really great party!  Good time but lost bones...ying/yang perhaps?

Thanks for visiting us and don't forget our challenge is still going on this month with our usual theme of  "Anything Goes" and any medium is welcome!  And we also thank you for the comments, they keep Evil Froggy smirking and prevents him from eating things that shouldn't be in his diet like US!

We hate to rush you off but things are quiet hectic with this pink issue and CT Anne so we just have to shut the door and off you go to leave some ghoulish love to the next stop!

Trick or Treaters

I hope you're all stocking up on treats, because I'm sending out a host of Collectors.  I just hope nobody nasty is inside this castle, as my buddies are having fun through the forest, the more acrobatic ones swinging from branch to branch:

I like making Stuffies, and these are so simple:  a fine-wove fabric (and I put my foot through an Egyptian cotton sheet just after making these, so guess where it's headed).  Run some dyna-flo washes through it, stamp your buddy with Stazon or Indian ink, and start colouring them in.  Put another layer of fabric behind them, stitch around the outside leaving an opening for stuffing, Stuff them then stitch them up completely.  Big Head Skeleton isn't back in the Third Stone catalogue yet
Meet Rasta - his dreads are still developing, but his hair has a truly a scrofulous texture: one of those horrible "gritty" fake fur fabrics!

Curly's hair is made by knitting a corkscrew (and they said it could only be done in crochet!  Cast on heaps of stitches and knit 1 row. Row 2: K3tog across the row.  Next row, k3tog across the row. Cast off remaining stitches.  I did it on a knitting machine - still faster than by hand!  If you prefer a crochet hook, chain a length. Turn, miss 1 st, 3dc into every chain across the length.  Chain 1, turn, 3dc in every stitch. Any Americans reading this, you call a dc a sc!
 I think this fella fell inna bath with a load of cake decorating sprinkles!
Leave us some love, and these fellas some carrots please.
AND your own creep makes can be shared back on 1 October post,
AND we're in the middle of the 31 Days of Halloween blog hop, so stay one step ahead of that Eeville Froggie, and hop to the next blog of the day.

Have You Seen This Woman?!? ~Day 3 31 DOH

CT Nan with some bad news I am afraid!  Alas, the time has come when our dear CT Anne got away from the house unattended and of course some strange happenings occurred and she was identified!  So we are trying to find her first so we can return her to the basement, I mean her bedroom, so she won't miss Halloween and of course the wonderful 31 Days of Halloween.  So in hopes of finding her first with your help, we have printed off a little helper with her photo and some reminders of the situation.  And we just couldn't help but give her a crown with some pink as we are certain that is what caused the trouble to start with and yes, evil laughter is filling the house even though we are devastated by our missing Anne!



Thanks to the now closed (sob!) Tumblefish Studios formerly at Mischief Circus for the elements from the kit Hotel Hell in helping us make us our poster as quickly as possible before the poor dear ends up in a big mess!  Our only  conundrum now is that it appears Evil Froggy has gone with her!  But we love her so we will just have to deal with the Frogman in order to get our beloved CT Anne back safe and sound!

Remember, our challenge is still open this month "Anything Goes" so easy peasey just absolutely NO CUTE this month especially!  The frog will go wild if/when we get him back and he sees CUTE!!! And as a reward for no cute, we have a dashing skellie stamp waiting for our winner this month !

Now run along we are busy and keep and eye out while you hop to the next blogs for Anne and give a shout or a comment if you see her!
