Macabre monday x 2 weeks...and Smeared ink Dragons day

I have had a crazy 10 days...sorry i missed last weeks MACABRE MONDAY POSTING... it was to use DALI as your inspiration.... this weeks new challenge is.......

"Necro Neckware"

You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece that could be turned into a pendant! Everyone is encouraged to play along for fun and Gruesome Twosome status, but their own original artwork is necessary to win the prize. And WHAT A PRIZE IT IS!
Heres my offering..... a STEAMPUNK skull.... i drew the skull ..its just shades with a 4B pencil... i scanned it to the puter and printed t out small enough to fit into these mounts....


I made 1x brooch and 2x pendants.... please come and play along....I shall enter these pendants and image into the following challenges....

Its my Wednesday to post on the SMEARED INK DT blog ......... today i have one of the digi CREATURE FEATURE images to share with ya..... these images are wonderful.... i sooooooooooooo wanna make a book with them, but for now its just an 8''x8'' layout. I used black white and pink.... i must be going girly in my old age.... gems ribbon and feathers.... really girly!
I cut the deaf signs out of some paper i had to spell out 'ink'.... did loads of distressing.... and ended up with something pink i actually like!


I shall enter this in the following challenges.....

  7. This is much better than the background offered. I could grow to love Necro Neckware. I love the pink and black on the digi LO. Girly can be good. Thanks for being Soartful.
