Continuous Creativity: Consumed By Black Blood





A simple and entertaining piece for Halloween! 

The materials you will need:
Acrylic paint: Glossy black and white
Washable School Glue
Paint brushes
Styrofoam head
Exacto Knife (X-ACTO/Rite-Cut Knife)
Some water

Take your Styrofoam head and carve veins throughout the head as desired. It is best to cut throughout the neck and towards the face.
Paint the head with a base coat of white.

 

Once it is dry, pour some water to dilute the black paint and mix.
Lightly paint the diluted black paint throughout the carved areas. This will make the veins look light.
Dispose of the diluted paint. 

 

Take the new black paint (no water) and paint in the eyes completely. 
Mix black paint with the school glue to give it a 3D look.
Paint the 3D paint down the cheeks from the eyes to make it look like tears flowing. We want it to look as though the black blood is escaping through her eyes to find it’s next victim to possess.

All finished!

It is like a blend of Halloween, mystical, and Victorian art. Elizabeth is an artist who lives and breathes the Gothic culture. She specializes in Gothic fashion, modeling, as well as creating Gothic style accessories and paintings. I took a moment to sit down with her in hope to bring understanding of the lifestyle and the art form. Wh...

Black Blood

The manifestation of negativity In the realm of energy work there is positive energy and negative energy. It is similar to the concept of ying and yang. These energies are all around us and are in our every day lives. Negative energy can attach to us-either by being in a negative environment, being near someone practicing the dark arts, by dealing with someone who is troublesome, as well as having health issues. Black Blood is a term given to an entity that has been created from the manifestation of negativity within the body. Black Blood begins as negative energy that flows from an area within the body that over time if not treated can spread through other areas within the body and eventually can begin to manifest. Have you ever known someone who is usually in a negative state of mind and over time their appearance changes? Their “misery shows” over the years? This is an example.  Over the years I have dealt with many clients who have Black Blood within their systems....
