BAD GIRL

 OK.......MY BAD!!! 

First of all. I posted Deviled Eggs for the next Theme, but I intended to post that theme later this month. And also once again, late in posting the Theme for this week!!

 I have a good excuse!!  I have the flu so I am not feeling well, in fact, really "monstrously" awful from the murky crud that lingers and will not go away! I think when I get better this would be a great theme for the challenge blog...

The Creeping Crud!!!!  

So on with the Theme for this Week...

When I was a little girl, I had very long, curly hair and was a good little girl for the most part but at times, as children will be, I was very mischievous, prone to loud temper tantrums, and so very stubborn! So, when I was unruly and misbehaving, my mother would recite this little poem to me to remind me that I must be a good little girl and be on my best behavior because bad little girls were naughty and not very pleasant to be around! We would end up laughing at the end of the poem and I am sure she recited the poem to distract me from whatever made me misbehave and lighten my mood so that once again, I would return back to the good little girl I was!

Here is the Poem...

"There once was a little girl, 

who had a little curl,

right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good, 

she was very good

but when she was bad, 

she was Horrid"!!!!!

Now it is your turn to create your Bad Girl! 

The artwork you have been creating for the Challenge Blog Themes are really amazing and so I have no doubt this week's artwork will be the same! 

Keep using your wonderful imagination to its fullest, as it is truly a precious treasure to see what others do not see, and then with colors and images, interpret what you envision onto your canvas!

I have posted a Page of images for you to use in your artwork! 

Now let's be BAD GIRLS!!!

BLACK RABBIT

 

Black Rabbit is our theme for this week. 

We don't do pretty or cute or sweet. No, we don't! We do dark and spooky! So with Easter right around the corner, this holiday is no exception. Our dark rabbit art creations this week are mean, malicious and scary!  

Watch out for your Easter baskets filled with pretty eggs and delicious treats! These horrid rabbits are waiting to demolish your Easter Baskets and eat all of your chocolate treats. Especially the chocolate covered bunnies! They love a sweet, chocolate bunny. It is their favorite!

I have posted more images on a page for you to use this week in your artwork and some lighter versions of a Black Rabbit for those who want to create something more in tune with the Easter Theme!

Use your dark imagination this week to create your version of the Dreaded Dark, Black Rabbit! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Here is my version of the Black Rabbit!!!!!

FREAKY CIRCUS CLOWNS

What is so dark and scary about Clowns?

Is it the make-up? The malicious grin?  The sinister way they look at you? 

I don't know but this challenge was a bit scary to create artwork for!! I even got a chill or two as I was creating my own Freaky Circus Clowns artwork!!

I believe these quotes will answer the question from the famous and scariest clown we all know, PENNYWISE,

from Stephen King's novel and the movie, "IT"!!!!

TASTY, TASTY, BEAUTIFUL FEAR!

I AM YOUR WORST DREAM COME TRUE!

I AM EVERYTHING YOU EVER WERE AFRAID OF!

LET GO. BE AFRAID. YOU ALL TASTE SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID!

Well, after reading that, is it any wonder we have a secret fear of clowns? 

So try, without fear, to create your dark and Freaky Circus Clowns this week! 

Try not to scare yourself in the process!!!

I have posted a page with some Freaky Clown images as well as some not so dark circus images for those who want to keep it light for you to use in your artwork! Let your dark imagination be your guide this week!

BLACK BIRDCAGE

The Theme this Week is Black Birdcage??? 

Yes, Black Birdcage. 

This week we will illustrate a dark story with our dark art creations. I posted images and photos of different birdcages for you to use in your artwork. Maybe, you have your own demented, dark images to create your art piece with so use those and also use your dark imagination as well!  Use images of blackbirds, crows, and ravens to give your art that 

"GOTHIC FEEL"!!! 

Tell a dark, mysterious story about your birdcage and your birds. What about the dark birdcages they live in? Why must they be caged? Are these birds treacherous, evil, or just mischievous?  And what of their Masters? Are they the same? What melancholy songs do your dark birds sing at night when all is still and quiet? Do you hear their eerie, foreboding notes sung in the shadows of darkness? 

I cannot wait to see what you will create!!!

I apologize for posting so late in the week, but I moved and ran out of time with all of the unpacking and settling into my new home! This Theme will run until March 25th and then we will have our last theme for March on the 26th and then go back to our regular scheduled themes.

Here is my Dark, Black Birdcage Story:

BLOOD MOON

On Friday, March 14th, we will witness a total Lunar Eclipse, a Blood Moon. At 2:30 am, EST, the Blood Moon will be at its peak so wherever you are at that time, if you are awake, you will see the moon turn blood-red in all its glory. 

A Blood Moon is a captivating celestial event that occurs when the Earth casts its shadow on the moon, causing it to take on a reddish hue. The alignment of the Earth, Moon, and the Sun creates a very powerful energy portal, opening the door to inner reflection and spiritual awakening. 

The mystical Blood Moon invites us to explore the inner depths of our soul and to embrace the profound mysteries of the universe. Many see this eclipse as an opportunity for inner reflection and personal growth. As the moon casts its ethereal glow, it creates an atmosphere that is conducive to introspection and self-discovery. As we reflect upon our lives and make the connection with the Divine Force, we are reminded that there is something out there much bigger and more omnipotent than ourselves!

Astrologically, a Blood Moon image is of superstition and doomsday warnings but really there is nothing to fear. The energy of this Blood Moon brings a powerful significance for great change.  It's timing in March, astrologically speaking, will mean to de-clutter your life physically and emotionally. 

Full moons are all about endings and beginnings, so consider this transit to get rid of the things in your life that are not working and embrace the things that are working. Know what to let go of and what to keep!

So, what will you be meditating upon during the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse? What symbolism are you reminded of when you think of a Blood Moon? What does this Blood Moon signify to you? Incorporate those thoughts in your artwork for the challenge this week! Bring out the moon's allure and energy in all of its mystical, celestial wonder!

I can't wait to see what you will create!

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

A little girl in red and a hungry, ferocious wolf! According to the Fairy Tale the wolf did indeed eat the Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood! But I thought in the version I read as a child the huntsman took an ax and cut open the wolf and saved the Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood! Either way it is read or written, the story's subject matter is pretty gorey stuff, huh?

I have posted two pages for you this week. One of the Fairy Tale of Little Riding Hood and the other with illustrations of Little Red Riding Hood. Now it is up to you to create an art piece of this story! Use your Dark Imagination to create your own Fairy Tale of Little Red Riding Hood! Cannot wait to see what you will come up with! 

Here is my version of Little Red Riding Hood:

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:

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

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!
