Or another short coming I should say. There's never been a doubt that my temper is short, physically I'm short, too, but now I also know I'm short on creepy, crawly, scary skills.
Luckily I am not at all short on the ability to decide I'm perfectly happy with my creations despite completely missing the challenge mark.
So, here's my Menacing Mermaid, designed for this week's Macabre Monday at Haunted Design House.
She's from a dingbat set I found a few years ago: Perhaps FontSpace.com? If you go looking for it be warned that the entire "set" is fun ... but definitely inappropriate for ... well, look, our friendly mermaid here isn't the only risque image in the set. Okay? OK.
Back to my version: We've done some coloring with colored pencils and darker colored lines with Sharpies. She's mounted on a Die Cuts With a View Rock Star stack design and a bit of bubbly-looking paper that came from where I do not recall.
What I do remember is that you've got until Sunday, June 26 at 5 p.m. central to create your very own Menacing Mermaid!
Good luck my friendly sirens of the sandy sea!
Too cute and sorta creepy too. It's hard being this creepy ALL the time, trust me. Way to make the challenge fit your supplies. I like the fiery hair too. Thanks for playing along this week at HDH!
ReplyDeleteShe has a certain look, its all in the eyes. Great piece. Yvonne xx
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm not sure that she's creepy or menacing, more cute really.
ReplyDeleteRisqué dingbats? I wonder....
I think she's kinda creepy and I love how you colored her. Great background paper too. You never miss the mark, hon! thanks for joining us again at HDH! xxD
