MACABRE MONDAY

YAY its Monday and at last i have something to share with you guys..... we have a brand new challenge and its......
"Freaker's Free-for-All"


You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based project without any rules! That's right, anything goes as long as it is in done with a flair for the macabre :)

I have been (slowly.... very slowly) altering another porcelain doll ...... this time i actually made all the clothes, i used one of my daughters baby dress, and the cloak is made from scraps from one of the christmas outfits i made the girls a couple of years back ( ...except the shoes.... they have just been altered with alcohol inks....... )
This is DONNA, AKA DEAD RIDING HOOD.........

.............................She looks pretty normal ........ cute and sweet in fact......


............................. but when she takes her hood down..................................

..................... not quite so cute now ...is she?

I built the texture of her face up in layers......the lesions where made in the layers and then painted so they have some depth.......

................. this picture shows her pretty clothes..... and shiny red shoes.....





......this picture shows her 'flaky' dead skin..... and blood red eyes....... her arms and legs have the same paint job on them as her face..... i used acrylics and sealed them with a matt spray varnish... i removed her hair before i started the make over.... replaced it after and cut it into a cute bob.......

I hope you have time to join in with us this week.... and i have my fingers crossed that i'll get time to come and see what you create......

i would like to enter DONNA into the following challenges.....
