As always it seems i'm several months behind on each and every challange...please forgive me as life at my house has been overwhelmingly busy...but wonderfully happy...a reunion of sorts...and just in time for spring too...still working on art as that never ever stops, just not all creepy...tho' creepy is my all time favorite...and making orphans is ever so much fun...drawing is another love of mine too....sooo februarys dark comic was a great idea...i'm just late...as usual...but here it is...i call it the keeper of broken hearts...as we know...February is valentines day...its not a finished drawing, still a WIP but heres what i've got so far....also i've altered a background sculpt i did years ago on the computer and thought i'd share the results...

So this is my belated february contribution to our wonderful group at the creepy orphans society...be sure to check back soon, as the warm weather has brought many ideas to mind and hopefully i'll be adding them here as well for every ones viewing....happy hauntings...dear friends...hugz...christen...aka....fantasiesfromwithin

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

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!

Creepy orphan bust

CREEPY ORPHAN SOCIETY BUST...In memory of dear orphan Thea' who spent her childhood years as a permanent resident of the creepy orphan society and later caretaker for the other pitiful souls who due to "behavior" problems were not adoptable...may this bust of her severed head serve as a reminder of her years of dedicated service...

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?
