MACABRE MONDAY

Well its Monday, its Macabre ...but ..................... ITS OUR 100TH CHALLENGE......
So, to celebrate this milestone, we're going to do a few things different this week . The general list of rules still apply, so be sure to follow them to be considered for the coveted Gruesome Twosome & Master of the Macabre titles!
There is BLOG CANDY-CORN to be had this week!
Did you know that Vincent Price would've been 100 this year?!
Yes, so it is divine providence that this week's challenge is:

"Varying Visages of Vincent"

(translates to: the many faces of Vinny)
You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece

that is inspired by the TRUE Master of the Macabre, Vincent Price.
A movie, character, poem, narration, song or quote... anything that the great Vincent Price has touched can be used for inspiration. If you need a little help, HERE is a link for some images, HERE is the official Vincent Price website, and HERE is a link to a website with some audio clips.
Now, about the blog candy... Here's a pic so far:

There are rubber and clear stamps, a handful of cards created by The Masterful Mistress herself, chipboard shapes and letters, altered chipboard purse & album pages, skullies, ribbons, floss, embellishments, Distress Stickles, rub-ons... Even a cute stuffed jacko ... and much much MORE!

As we get more comments & challenge entries,
there MIGHT be more thrown in throughout the week!
AND some of the Minions will be giving away additional blog candy on their own blogs...
be sure to check them out!

I am a HUGE fan of Vincent Price... so i couldnt make just one thing....i made 3!

This is a framed mixed media piece.... the pictures i googled.... i altered a piece of DP with stamps from Cherry pie,and lots of ink. I stamped and embossed a raven, cut it out and triple embossed for extra shine.... i made 3 shrink plastic ravens using a Tim Holtz die.... i printed the name out on the 'puter... coloured it with promarkers and cut it out.... i then triple embossed it.

I made the shabby flower/rosette, added dangly feathers/beads/ and a VP centre.

The frame was painted and distressed... i love doing that!

Next up is a necklace..... made using red glass beads, bronze coloured chain/beads and findings... i made a mounted cabichon using a picture of VP from the film THE RAVEN.

This is a close up.....

and finally if you havent lost the will to live by now...is my 3rd project.... a brooch.... i make these fairly regularly..... this one has a detachable smaller brooch in the centre so it can be worn either as a BIG statement piece or just as a small VP brooch.

As we are celebrating our 100th challenge and having CANDY and GIVE-AWAYS.....

ONE lucky(...or unlucky, which ever way you wanna look at it.... )PERSON will get to chose which ever of my VINCENT PROJECTS they'd like to have.... and another REALLY LUCKY PERSON will win the wonderful............

QUOTH THE RAVEN rubber stamp set from SMEARED INK............... ITS MY FAVOURITE STAMP SET EVER!.....and quite fitting as VP was in many films of MR POE stories..... and his reading of THE RAVEN poem is heart stopping!

Now before you really do give up all hope of getting to the end of this long post....i'd just like to say THANKS for making MACABRE MONDAYS SO SPECIAL.....
