It's the last day of Creepmas at Smeared and Smudged. So sorry for the delay once again.
Interpret the above image as you like. Hehe. It's a digital card portraying some of my sad felt dolls. (Or actually they have a happy side too.) I'm busy finishing one of my Christmas gifts (that is the blonde doll, which was nearly headless yesterday hehe). I have some Creepmas projects left which I never got around to post... but I can take that some other time. I forgot to post Molly in a Creepmas version though, so I will add her here (if anyone wants her). Merry Creepmas!
As a kid I wanted to be a cop... until one day someone (a grown-up) told me I couldn't. So, I gave up that dream.
Then when I learned to write, writing became my main hobby. For 10 years I dreamed of becoming a writer... until one day someone (also a grown-up) told me I would never become one. So, I gave up that dream too. I think that no one should ever tell a child that their dreams are wrong or not possible. That's why I'm so eager to tell children that they can be whatever they want to be. If boys want to play princesses, or girls want to play pirates, I will them: "Go for it."
Just like there are boys who dream about becoming princesses, there are boys (especially in the Nordic countries) who dream about becoming Saint Lucy for a day.
Here's a Saint Lucy choir from 2011, where a boy/man finally got to be Lucy. I think he is doing a great job.
Just like there are boys who want to be Lucy, there are girls who want to be Star Boys. So, I have made my digital stamp Molly into a Star Boy this time. Here she is celebrating the month of December as a Star Boy. (Or actually I have Molly in a Creepmas version, but I never got around to post it.)
Ps. If anyone wants Molly as a star boy, here she is. :) ->
I feel very uninspired at this point. I just don't like Christmas anymore. I want it to disappear already. It's like the war of Christmas at home. So, I called out the transphobes/queerphobes in my extended family, and woah... I had opened the Pandora's box. I'm really considering skipping next Christmas. Hopefully I could spend it in a soup-kitchen or something (you have to sign up months before though, and that's probably because we really don't have that many soup-kitchens in this country...). Anyhow, it is Creepmas day 11 after all... so, here's my project for today. Another card. Duuh.
I messed up a little (or a lot?) with the acrylic paint, so some details aren't that visible. Other than acrylic paint, I have coloured the images with Promarkers and some Stickles too. I have used Stickles: Starry Night & Waterfall for the background. The Steampunk Santa can be found here, while the mad eyes (which I made a moon out of) can be purchased here.
Today I'm featuring a card with a digital stamp by the amazingly talented Unky at The East Wind. Unky has lots of different images, including a cool Creepmas image here (which I'm thinking of doing something with later). For today I've chosen an emo girl with horns, cause I think it really catches the spirit of Creepmas. :)
