Welcome to my “other” blog! This blog will represent my other loves in the art world, along with cards. I will be posting my art journal and mixed-media projects. Other art that you will see will depict Steampunk, fantasy, Gothic, horror, anything that the word “alternative” encompasses. I hope you enjoy the ride with me!

2013 Skull Appreciation Day Blog Hop

Welcome to Skull Appreciation Day Blog hop sponsored by Smeared & Smudged (SNS) SNS is celebrating Skull Appreciation Day 2013 by featuring handmade projects that spotlight the much-loved cranium.  They will also be giving away lots of freebies during the hop. If you have come from the very talented Gloria’s blog, you are in the right spot. The blog roll is listed below.


Many of Rick’s Elite Design Team have joined the celebrations. You can check out the amazing skull-o-rama over at our AirlessChamber’s blog. Some of his team have created with digis from his new stamp set that will be available from Smeared Ink’s Rubber Stamp Club very soon. 


Aren’t these amazing rubber stamps? This is a full sheet of wonderful rubber! 


I love making tags! So that’s what I have chosen to create. Tags and journal pages are a creative release for me. I have the freedom of creating what I want, and not worry if it’s going to sale. For my tag I used “Parfum de Mort” from Rick’s Skulls section in his Etsy shop. First I colored with my Copics, used Spellbinder’s A2 Distressed Edges die, and added DI Black Soot to the edges. I also used some Spica pens and Gelly Roll white for accents.


Copics used:
Skull: COO, C1, C5, Y26, YG93, R20, R89
Flowers: R20, R22, R24, R27, R89, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19, Y35, Y38, R81, R83, R85,R 56, RV69, BV00, BV11, BV13, BV17, E21, E27
Bottle: BV11,BV13,BV 17
Leaves and stems: YG13, YG17,YG 67
Background: W00, W1, W3, and blender


Other supplies:
Cardstock: oversized tag
Designer paper: Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor collection
Die: Memory Box Small Creepy Web Frame
Flowers: my stash
Other: tassels and charm from my stash
