Hauneted Design House 100th Challenge Blog Hop featuring Varying Visages of Vincent



We're here at Haunted Design House, celebrating our 100th challenge with an homage to the Master of Macabre, Vincent Price, who would have been 100 this year. Our Masterful Mistress has conjured up some fabulous Blog Candy-Corn with many ways to win, so be sure to pop over to Haunted Design House for the deets. If you are already following the blog hop, you should have arrived from the fabulous Sultana of the Sinister, Lynx's Blog. And BTW, there are only 6 stops on this blog hop (besides HDH) so there's no excuse not to hop along.


My project is a coffin box. On the front is a picture of Vincent's final Life Mask (yeah, I know he looks dead, that's why I used it) done during the production of Dead Heat found HERE at The Haunted Studio. The logo is newly designed by Pixascope, who worked alongside the Vincent Price Estate to launch the media celebration for Vincent's 100 year legacy. The fancy shtuff on top of the coffin was cut with my Cricut, using the Happy Hauntings cartridge. Actually, he was creamated, his ashes scattered at sea, but had he chosen this alternative, you'da bet he would have been buried in STYLE, don'tcha think?!


The fabulous portrait inside was done by Chainsaw-Zombie found HERE on Deviant Art. I've added roses by Recollections. The inside of the lid features a most fitting quote by Mr. Price, himself. Sooo true and I'm sure he'd be pleased! Now be on your way to our Devious Digital Demoness, Susan's Blog and prepare to be amazed. And don't forget to leave a comment at each of the Minion's Blogs for a chance for Barb's Blog Candy Extraordinaire and play along with this special Macabre Monday Challenge for even MORE chances to win!
