OUR FAVORITE DARK COUPLE: GOMEZ AND MORTICIA ADDAMS

FORGET 
ROMEO AND JULIET!!
I WANT A LOVE LIKE GOMEZ AND MORTICIA!!!


Since I was a child, this has to be one of my favorite shows. Every evening after school, I watched the re-runs and never missed an episode. This show probably sparked my interest in all things dark, spooky, and mysterious! Who could forget the famous the famous Theme Song?

They're creepy and they're kooky,
mysterious and spooky,
they're altogether ooky,
The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum
 when people come to see 'em 
They really are a scream 
The Addams Family.
Neat
Sweet
Petite
So get a witch's shawl on
a broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family

So to start out this week's Theme, we are going to create a special Valantine to honor our favorite Dark Couple, Gomez and Morticia Addams! 
What a passionate, romantic relationship they had.  Morticia's pet name for Gomaz was, "Bubeleh". Gomez's pet name for Morticia was "Cara Mia". And when Morticia spoke French? She drove Gomez wild! Just one word of French and he would drop everything to rush to her side and start from her wrist, kissing up her arm to her shoulder!
"Tish", he would croon, I love it when you speak French"!


I have posted a Page with images of Morticia and Gomez and plenty of embellishments and backgrounds to make your Valentine complete!

Here is my Tribute to my Favorite Dark Couple:
GOMEZ AND MORTICIA ADDAMS

DARK ROMEO AND JULIET

 

We all know the story. Two ill-fated lovers. A blood feud between two families. A sad tale of passion, violence, and death. With our Dark Romeo and Juliet Theme in mind, create your own version of their love and death in your artwork for the challenge this week. 

Go see the Dark Romeo and Juliet Page I created of Free Images and you will find a whole set of images that are from the Gecko Galz Challenge Blog. You may use them in your artwork for the challenge. I love these Rennaissance Images and thought they were perfect for our theme this week. A Big Thank you goes out to the Gecko Galz for allowing me to use these images!!


Here is my Tale of Woe, 
A story of Juliet and her Romeo






***Sorry I was late posting the Challenge but I
have been working a lot of long hours this past week and this week.***

TAINTED LOVE

February is the Month of Valentines, Candy, Roses, and LOVE!
 

Here at My Soul's Dark Imagination, we are not creating Sweet Valentines with lace, nor red hearts, no chubby little cherubs or cupids with their arrows of love! No, nothing like that! Quite the opposite! With a dark imagination comes dark creations so this month we are going to have Themes of Tainted Love, Unrequited Love, Jilted Love, and Broken Hearts.

 Oh, the Misery of Love!
John Lennon said, "All you need is love."
 And he was right! Love is great when it is good but horrible when it is bad. Love can make you miserable. Miserable indeed from love that is never reciprocated or acknowledged. Haven't we all been there? Everyone has, at least once in their life, suffered a broken heart.

So, with this in mind, incorporate your feelings of Tainted Love in your artwork for the Challenge this week. Invoke the Sorrow and Woe of broken hearts into your artwork!  
 
"Alas, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

Here are my Tainted Love Creations!
