Now that my wreath is complete and my Halloween cards are done, I can get back to those pesky Seven Deadly Sins!
I rooted through my bin of odds and ends and found a rusty old drawer. It will be perfect for a little backdrop for the sin of Lust.
The bisque doll to represent Lust has a sassy bow in her hair and I'm going to add a wash of red paint to it and maybe paint her mouth. I'm thinking either a pale blue was of paint on her body or just painting a black stripe over her eyes. She'll have a very shabby fabric toga of some sort eventually as well.
I pondered a background and remembered an old, musty art book that I found at a book sale years ago. I flipped through the pages and found a page with "Bacchus and Ariadne" by Titian. I loved the weathered look of the paper and darkness of the image so I eyeballed the page and tore it.
I dry-fitted it into the drawer with the bisque doll and it is fantastic! Next up is aging the torn edges and deciding if the metal will be painted or left as-is. Lots to do!
In other crafting news, here are the completed Halloween cards I'm sending overseas. I hope they like them!
