The Walking Dead Gallery

[WhimsicallyObsessed]

Yay! I'm glad you like everything! Crap I forgot Daryl's shoes! I knew I was forgetting something. I hand sewed those up  too along with everything else >.< Oh well! I was also disappointed the crossbow didnt turn out. I made like 3 of them and they kept cracking >.<
Wow there are tons of awesome things in this swap! Great work everyone! ^_^

wow those daryl dolls are the bomb!everything in the gallery has been so cool...and trust me when i say that cool is what i want right now. the temp right now is in the triple digits and here in southern IN its dry as a bone  (if someone could perform a rain dance right now i know of several farmers who would appreciate it)
Anyway i wanted to show off the lovely package i recieved from banana731 that showcases some more Daryl centric pieces.
First off this really neat hoop with angel wings like daryls jacket. its embroidered on black pleather with feathers,felt and painted feather sections. kind of hard to describe..so have a look
 
With that was a neat drawing of the Cheroke rose with gory blood smears. please excuse the brown lawn in the background lol

Thank you banana731!

Between pearljam94 and myself, we have had a hell of a time here. We each needed additional time for our goodies, so I'm posting a couple pics here of the package I sent to pearljam94. My package from her should be arriving here in a day or so.

This particular swap, I knew the kinds of things I wanted to make and just had to hope they tied in to my partner's likes somehow. I got lucky with being matched with pearljam. Please excuse the crappy cell phone pics...I thought I had my camera with me this morning. All I had was the charger and card reader, but no camera and card. But I had a few pics on my cell phone.


I knew from the get-go, I wanted to do some kind of portrait of Glenn. But I'm no painter...I get frustrated when I try to paint and it doesn't turn out exactly perfect. So, I cheated a little. I found a picture of Steven Yeun online that I really liked, as Glenn, took it into Photoshop, cloned out his features, and then smeared it. Once this image was big enough, I projected it onto the "canvas" with a mini projector, traced it on in pencil, and started painting.


This was actually a wall hanging print from Big Lots that I bought for $5. The grey background is actually primer paint. It looked like a tin ceiling tile print. The red splatter around him is really watered down red crafting paint that I flicked on. I am really freaking happy with how my portrait of Glenn turned out! It pained me a little to send it away.


I also bought a wall clock from Wal-Mart and redid the face of it, the same way I redid my crafting room clock a while back. I really wanted to upcycle both a print and a clock for this swap, but I couldn't find anything good in the thrift stores, so I had to buy new. I didn't want to take chances on a $1.99 thrift store clock when I felt that a $4 Wally World clock would work.

I used Photoshop to design a new face. Rick was originally in this image, on horseback, riding into Atlanta, right below 5 o'clock but it looked busy and full in that corner so I cloned him out. I did try including a red bloody biohazard symbol in the center where the hands come through but that looked busy too. The frame of the clock was plain white but I added some red crafting paint bloody fingerprints to it, because everything is better with blood.
