My first introduction to horror movies as a little girl was Dracula starring Christopher Lee. I still sleep with my blankets around my neck!
I'm not a fan of gore, but I do enjoy a good psychological thriller. The "Psycho" shower scene scared me so badly in junior high that I was afraid to close my eyes while bathing (for years)!
Over time, my sense of horror has leaned to the witty dark side.
Hence, my macabre creation as the guest artist for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers "V" for Violent! The sentiment sounds like something a homicidal maniac would write to their victim, so I wrote it with a black Sharpie using my non-dominant left hand and added some inky fingerprints!
Jewelry should be displayed prominently when given as a gift, right? So I found a pop-up tunnel card tutorial for the occasion.
The really creepy part of all of this was the warning in the directions I looked up for how to tie a noose 😳 (audible gulp). This is your opportunity to vent and show us your violent interpretation in a no-contact-don't-get-arrested-crafty kind of way!

I LOVE that card. I must admit to a sense of the macabre in my crafting. My handmade Halloween items are the top sellers in my shop and this has given me some ideas on expanding my line. Thanks for sharing (and possibly tearing down the taboo of having a dark sense of humor).
ReplyDeleteYour card is completely brilliant, Wendy, and I spit my coffee everywhere when it appeared on the screen! Thanks so much for being our Queen of Snark, Jo x SoSS
ReplyDeleteA dark sense of humor makes us interesting! “Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.”
