You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
that has something to do with
melted wax, candles, witches, or melted flesh.
The possibilities really are endless with this one.
It's time to start tapping into your Halloween spirit,
and create something seasonally spectacular!
So many styles and so many techniques could be used here.melted wax, candles, witches, or melted flesh.

The Minions, including our guest minion, Lady Brayton, have again produced an amazing array of eye candy to tempt you into joining in the fun.
I made two projects for a change.
The first was very quick and easy. Needing just a sheet of A4 paper, a piece of dst, a hot glue gun and some paint.
A wand for all those budding acolytes of Hogworts.
The idea was gleaned from a book called "Dragonolia" by Chris Barnardo. Published by Little Black Dog Ltd. I think copyright means I can't publish pics on how to, but you should be able to get a copy from your local library at the very least.
My wand of rolled paper was painted black after the hot glue was used to fill both ends then drizzled around. The brush stroked over again when the paint was nearly dry to give a slightly textured look and feel. The hot glue on the central part was then dry brushed with copper paint with just a touch more at the ends.
My second project is a candle.
The image is Busted Down Witch from Rick St Dennis
Printed and coloured with promarkers. Then black DI as a bg. Then scanned and printed onto cheap copy paper for the candle.
The cheap paper means no coating therefore the wax soaks in and the image becomes one with the candle.
The other minions have worked their wonders as I said. There will of course be more inspiration on Wednesday at the Haunted Design House blog should you need it. In the mean time - get melting peeps and show us what you can do
