Description

A commission I just finished for a friend. This one is my first forray into vampire lore.

For this one, I used an unfinished shadowbox I picked up at Michael's for $10, cutting up an old burlap shoulderbag to line the bottom. The skull was part of a model kit cut to shake, with skulpy fangs added, then coated with mulitple layers of acrylic. the book is just a print out, clued to some paper sheets, dyed with my usual steel wool and vinegar mixtuve, with some old cloth bandages glued on for the ruined spine. The photo is a print out on photo paper, the Rosary was made from about $5 worth of bits from Michael's, sanded and varnished, while the rusted nails were made from Skulpy, with potting soiled glued on with white glue, then painted in shades of black and brown.

Came out pretty well I thought, and looks even better with the lid closed. I had to leave the cover open since reflection on the glass was a pain. Needless to say i'd be more than happy to make more of these at some point.
