Who Are You Supposed To Be?

I'm taking the title of my post from that of the new challenge started today over at Haunted Design House. Why not? It's better than my cold be-fuddled brain can come up with right now. The challenge is

 You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en 

based art piece that depicts a costume or

character you have been, or want to be for Hallowe'en.  

Isn't there that one costume you always remember

fondly from your childhood? Or maybe that one character 

you've always wished you had the guts 

(or the money, or the body)

to portray at this year's costume party?

We're being sponsored by

I Brake for Stamps.

They have a varied selection of images from various artists.

Something for everyone.

We have chosen to work with the new Hallowe'en images

designed by Rick St. Dennis.

I chose to use Steampunk Peg. Not coloured in the normal brown tones I might have done if this were "normal" Steampunk, but in black, greys and purples as befits the Halloween season. 

Some of you might be interested to know what's been used here. First - there are no designer papers used, just diecuts and dry embossing on the actual tag base. The attached TH cogs were dry embossed with a cog folder to the tag base embossed with a watches folder. Some black DI brushed over lightly. 

The top is decorated with black and different shades of purple drippy goo punch outs. Some black lace added and some eyelets punched. The eyelets were threaded through with black satin ribbon that also held in place the charms chosen.

Peg herself was coloured with promarkers and fussy cut out. The tulle of her hat given a light dusting of DI to remove the white glare.

The wings from the Smeared Ink,Quoth the Raven rubber set were heat embossed in black on more purple card and some black feathers stuck behind. Peg was attached to these. 

Some more tulle was added to Peg's hat before attaching her to my tag.

If I could - yes I'd do the whole Steampunk "Thing". LOVE the clothing although it could not be on a full time basis for me, unfortunately.

Now it's down to you - What are you choosing to depict yourself as for Halloween this year? Or have you a hankering to re-visit a costume of days gone by? Come show us over at Haunted Design House in the next couple of weeks
