GHASTLIES FAMILY ALBUM

I present for your viewing pleasure/amazement/horror my take on the fabulous "Ghastlies" fabric.   The plan was for a Scrapbook page, showing all the treasures I think the Ghastlie Family would collect.   So here goes.....
Melbourne weather is being very unkind to my photographic endeavours.    I ran next door and "borrowed" their fence in on brief burst of dry, yet cloudy weather, trying to get a good shot of the colours.    No sooner did we have the quilt up on the fence then it started to rain.   So if the colours are a little out there  I can only say "I tried".     

  

A snake in hiding...

  
 Is this the family business.....what the girls are brewing.

  A pink bow and a hammer, what more could a girl want.   Sebastian features in the cameo brooch here.
   Check out the feathered lorgnette - rose coloured glasses!
Another snake hiding ready to strike.    Silverware hanging  on a hook.... 
 A Victorian fan, heavily encrusted with Swarovsky crystals, the steampunk choker has crystals, pearls, silver flowers and a huge silver cross - slightly Gothic styling!     The black canary sits in his cage, surrounded by ivy leaves and pink crystals.   The velvet coin purse has a few family treasures spilling out.


 All the quilting between the family photo's is naturally spidery.    Hundreds of tiny spiders webs between all the treasures - I am thinking that like myself they have other more interesting things to do than dust for cobwebs!
Check out the cattitude being exuded from this slick black feline....

 Madame's silver dinner bell....
  3D ivy leaves, there are a couple of lizards and frogs hiding in amongst the leaves, and a spider has captured its dinner in the top corner.....
The bottom of the quilt is finished with continuous prairie points and a black daisy trim.
 Techniques used in the creation of this Ghastlie piece:

Applique, Machine Embroidery, Free Motion Embroidery, Quilting, Continuous Prairie Points, 3D Applique, Free Standing Lace Embroidery, Digitizing (the leaves, branches, cage, 3D ivy leaves, large bat in the top left corner were all done by myself), Fabric painting (well, I painted white lace daisies in shades of pink using fabric medium), beading, bedazzling (sticking crystals on), Couching,   and my personal favourite - shopping for costume jewellery  to chop up - oooh and I also learned how to use the Dremel for a bit of grinding  (removing some of the joiners on the jewels!).

This has been so much fun over the past couple of months - I spend hours wasting time   I mean, researching on the Internet looking for all those slightly Gothic/Victorian ideas.

As mentioned in the previous post, Madame Samm over at Sew I Quilt   will draw a lucky winner each day.   So leave a comment and make sure you are a "reply" blogger and you could be in the running for today's prize.     I will also send out a small gift to the second name drawn at the end of the day.    (My gift is a ghastlie memento bracelet).  

Here are today's other bloggers showing off their ghastlie creations:


If there is anything you want to know about my piece, don't hesitate to ask.  
Have a "ghastlie" day.    Don't forget the blog hop lasts all week.


UPDATE

I have a bracelet winner - lgentymk  from A Little Less of Me

    What an utterly fascinating art quilt. How I would love to see it in person and spend a lot of time looking at each and every detail. It is easily apparent that you immersed yourself completely in your theme and carried it off perfectly. The pieces you digitized...heck, ALL of the tons of embroidered pieces...are amazing (love that bat!). I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at each photo and will go through them all again, too!

I know I'd need 6 months of gazing and peering to come anywhere near seeing and absorbing all the fantastic details of your quilt. Certainly, the pictures only tease me, but perhaps, that's the Ghastlie design you had in mind. FANTASTICALLY Ghastlie!!!

    What a neat bunch of eye candy for Halloween Day! I love 3-D embellishments. We just got back from a fantasy faire and there were a lot of steampunk folk about. Very intriguing!
    Well done!

    Oh, my goodness, Ms. TiramiSue!! Amazing work- you have really taken the Ghastlie fmaily over the top! Love all the Steam-punk additions and gadgets along with your wonderful embroidery (rose colored-spiderwebbery glasses and bat are among my faves!) Wow! A wonderfully Ghastlie piece of art!! Wish I could see it in person... very cool!

    Well, my friend, when I saw how many comments you'd received on this post (wow, on that front alone!), I thought you probably didn't need one more, LOL. I couldn't resist though - this quilt is beyond amazing!! What a feast for the eyes! I can almost see you rubbing your hands together with glee, with all the wonderful 'finds' that made their way onto your over-the-top beautiful work of art. You already know I am a huge fan of your work, but this, I'm afraid, simply can't be topped!
