This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Quirky Circus Characters".

I struggled with making this creepy looking.

I colored this Medieval witch image, but I don't like how it looks. I finally had to enforce my "pencils down!" rule.

I put a sunglass on, so no one can see me cry

I'm not here for long
I'm just passing by
The world keeps getting harder
But I'm too cool to die

Don't cry, don't cry
Ask me how I feel
And don't ask why

Too Cool To Die - Post Malone


Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie

I made this Crescent Moon Occult rustic design wood box using a paper cigar box.

I painted over the edges of the cigar box and labels using Plaid Apple Barrel Outdoor Indoor Gloss Acrylic Black Paint (20662E), using two coats of paint. But I left the bottom as is.

(Note: I intentionally left the cigar labels on the box, and fully or partially decoupaged over them. I also wanted a distressed, aged look, so I allowed the paint to get scratched away.)

The steps are similar to the ones here.

Happy days are here again
Times are so bad and getting badder
Your cares and troubles are gone
They've cut my wages
There's nothing surer:
The rich get richer and the poor get laid off

This week I have the honor of guest hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Archer." This blog post is another piece that I had made, but I decided to use this one for the inspiration piece posted on SPA.

Note: The Solid State Drive (SSD) Hard Drive failed without warning in the Dell computer that I bought 1 year and 1 month ago, so my online activity will be minimal until I can regroup and figure out how to move forward. I will try to leave comments, etc.

This week I have the honor of guest hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Snake."

When I originally proposed this as a theme idea, I had something in mind for it, but then forgot what it was, so I made a collage. I also didn't realize this year's Chinese New Year is the year of the snake.
