First Quarter Challenge-DARK SHADOWS

THE CREEPY ORPHAN SOCIETY IS ROCKING IN THE NEW YEAR...PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE LATE POST...THE Creepy Orphan Society's FIRST QUARTERLY CHALLENGE IS IN THE THEME OF

DARK SHADOWS

REMEMBER THESE?

I REMEMBER YEARS AND YEARS AGO, WATCHING THIS SERIES (THE REMAKE) ON FRIDAY NIGHTS. I wouldn't make any plans because I had to be home to watch this. Ben Cross was absolutely amazing in this series, and then they cancelled the show.

Now we are gearing up to see the gorgeous Johnny Depp and the amazing Tim Burton to put their magic onto the big screen.

So, won't join the Creepy Orphan Society and create a piece of art in the theme of DARK SHADOWS. I believe that I will be making an Art Doll.  However, things could change. That is the beauty of art and challenges...do whatever comes to you.

I hope you all join in on this Challenge and let's see what we all come with.

Enjoy and here are few pics of the dream team!

ENJOY

Children in the Attic CHALLENGE...is here.  I have finally taken some pictures of her and she wasn't happy about it. LOL 

I hope you enjoy her...her name is Marti.  She has been living in the attic for many years and has developed a knowledge for reading people.  However, since she has been locked up in the attic, with little or no friends at all, she predicts the future for unseen events, and thus, she tells me...we are heading into some rough times....hmmmmmmm let's see what happens or if her readings are DEAD ON!

Cheers!

Creepy orphan tree

Boy am i ever late...creepy orphan trees was our December challenge, and although i finished wayyyyyy back in october...i completely forgot...to post Sylvia...our newest orphan...she prefers swinging in the swing in the front yard instead of spending her days behind the doors of the orphanage, but little does she know whats learking just beyond the edge of the property and within the bowels of the orphanage in the dark corners and under the stairwell, not to mention within the walls of the time worn attic...peeking at her from the underworld, a portal that unknown to the elders who purchased and built this massive building to house these most unfortunate souls, had no idea...check back with us often at the creepy orphan society as the details of the unfortunate victims...oh i mean children unfold and each story written...those who reside here begging to be adopted, dying...to leave this place of horror...won't you invite them into your home.....MAAAAAAAAA * thats my scary laugh* until next time...hugs...christen

November/December Challenge-Creepy Orphan Tree

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Well, I know our next challenge isn't due until December 31, 2010...but since my schedule is going to be absolutely nuts, I wanted to make sure I got my challenge piece done. So...Here it is!

The Creepy Orphan Society-Challenge- Creepy Orphan Tree, The Keeper of SOULS by the CROW!

She is a Mixed Media Piece. I used an old cigar box and turn it into her tree. I used air dry clay for the molds of souls hanging on the tree. I sculpted the tree out of floral wire and attached it to the cigar box. The Keeper is made out of an old barbie doll body, floral tape, air dry clay and I hand stitched her Tibetan Lamb Hair into a wig.  Lots of mixed media techniques created the inside of the cigar box. 

SHE IS THE KEEPER OF SOULS

Until Next Time...

Cheers!

Here is Odd Dolls, Pattee's Creepy Orphan. I absolutely love this little guy.

Meet "Henray Lost." He is a Creepy Orphan waiting for Adoption. However, they keep him locked in his room at the Orphanage because he lost his foot and they hung it on the ceiling so he couldn't get out.

The poor thing...what is a Creepy Orphan to do?
