TAD Yessss Mysterious and Dark

Greetings!

 

 I have been waiting all week for TAD. Yeahhhh.... you know me, anything Mysterious, Dark, Scary, Macobre and I am there. That is the theme for Rain's TAD. OK, so I added the scary and the macobre. hee hee hee

Most of you have been following the  step by step for my gourdy face. You can see part 1 here and part 2 here.

Today, I was ready to paint and embellish. I decided to use an acrylic paint with brushes instead of airbrushing.  For the embellishments I used a product called Ellimorph. It's a biodegradable, non toxic and remouldable plastic. It comes in plastic beads that you place in 147° water. Then, you have a very very short time to mold and shape. 

You can see it all here 

Be sure to check out the youtubes on the page.

OK enough of all of that, It was getting dark so I had to take him outside to take photos. Yes, on top of the grill. 

The horns and tongue are made with ellimorph	There is pigment to add to the ellimorph or you can paint it.
really love his eyes	and his profile. LOL
There is a ridge that runs down the back of his head. Like a bone. I am happy with him.	Remember her, from another TAD piece. She stands in the corner of my front room by my couch, protecting the house.
This is a messing around painting. Acrylics on an 8x24" deep edge pro canvas. Made for TAD	Mysterious and Dark. Acrylics on another 8x24" deep edge pro canvas. I really like this size to paint on. Made for TAD

 

I had to share these mushrooms they are just too cool!

Dead Man’s Fingers (Xylaria polymorpha)

 

Now from dark to something sweet. A spice cake with 

cinnamon frosting. 

Mr. M. can't have any until tomorrow. He has bloodwork and he doesn't need a sugar surge. LOL I cut it just to see the inside. No, I don't eat this kind of sweets.

 

Stop by Rain's to see what the other TAD gang is up to.

I am also linking up with Paint Party Friday.

 

Be Safe Out There And Wear A Mask!
