Today members of the Smeared and Smudged Forum have joined up for this months Member Blog Hop. For September, the theme was "I WISH". We were to interpret this any way we wished and keeping with the Smeared Ink rules, the project must be stamped somewhere.

I have been watching True Blood like a mad woman trying to catch up before my HBO channels go away. I thought it very clever when the vamps cry, they cry blood. I have altered a little box into a shrine for this poor vamp girl who only wishes to be human again.
Hard to see but 'WISH' is written on the left and right side of the eye center on eyeball.
This picture was taken with the light fully on my shrine so that you can see everything.
The little candle in the shrine is on and in the next picture will show you the lit inside.
Pray for more Deets
IMAGES/STAMPS

The wings are spritzed with Lemon Grass and Squeezed Orange Dylusion Spray Inks.

Adhered random sizes of plastic eyes on each side.
Pearl jewels on each side of cut front.
Box outside was then covered with Black Gesso and let dry.
Next I used Cut Grass Dylusion Spray Ink on eyes to get color where I missed with Gesso.
Green Yellow and Lava Red Inka Gold Metallic Rubs were both used randomly over outside.
