QUOTH THE RAVEN ENTRY AT SMEARED AND SMUDGED DT THROWDOWN.

Ah Beloveds ! The sisters of darkness at SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM hath set forth a Challenge to all who toil in Design Teams for other Masters and Mistresses. They doth challenge us to bring forth our most accomplished creations that hath been subjected to transformation, so that they doth appear to be that which they are not. The Challenge hath been dubbed "Leather and/or Lace". Forsooth - such a cunning theme was laid down by the Victors of the third such Challenge -  the fair Minions of the Haunted Design House.
Fi !!! How they doth strive to test us, yet the Minions of The Master hath risen to such heights and hath produced fineries that doth astound the eye.
Feast thine eyes thusly............................i dont do straight and Shell....
and my offering..... many thanks to Ike for the eloquent wording.

 I used real leather to cover a MDF heart shape..... its abour 12'' high by 11'' at the widest part. I coloured one of IKE'S Poe digis in sepia shades and mounted it in a faux rusted chained frame. I made flowers out of leather and added pearls to the centres.

 I faux rusted metal flowers and added more pearls. I stamped an angel image from DE-STEMPELWINKEL onto shrink plastic to make the centre piece for the ornate faux rusted cross.

 There is duchess lace, a lace panel and metallic trim.... a zipper, chains, dangly pearls, and a lace up bodice type thing.... and an old faux rusted key. Please come and check out all the entries on the forum.... and vote for your favourite team makes.

Thanks for looking BDx
