Macabre Monday at HDH # May I have a Quick Word.

 

Are you ready for a new, macabre challenge?

 The theme for May is:- May I have a Quick Word.

 There are multiple ways to interpret that, as long,

 as it's also dark and macabre in some way.

 

Either use a word or words somewhere,

Or make it a quick make ( less than a day from start to finish).

 

So come on Show us your most Gothic, Macabre, Twisted creations and revel in the dark side of crafting.

 

 

 

For my DT piece I decided to alter a box. I started by giving the box inside and out a coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in black. I then applied DecoArt Media Black Modelling paste through a stencil to the box base sides.

Whilst this was drying I gave the lid both outside and inside a coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in black. I then fired up photoshop and created my Poe collage and printed out.

Once the box sides had dried I reapplied the stencil and added DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Medium Grey Value 6 with a stencil brush. Once dried I went over all box sides with a mixed wash of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics in Crbon Black and Quinacrodone Gold to tone down. This was then sealed with a coat of DecoArt Matte Media Varnish.

I then gave the lid a coat of DecoArt Matte Medium and also applied Matte Mediun to the back of my collage and attached to the box lid with a brayer so as not to get any air bubbles. Once dry a coat of DecoArt Matte Media Varnish was applied to protect.

For the finishing touch decorative feet were added to the box.
