Post by: Kaz on May 19, 2012, 10:35:08 PM
No, I hate Dan Brown but noticed there have been a few monsters around lately and one or two angels/fairies so it would be nice to see a few different interpretations.

Love that cheeky devil!

My attempt is a bit (understatement!) rough around the edges, but I'll enter him anyway!!! I made him yesterday and used my new tool from Sally to add a piercing!
The horns went a bit wonky, and the eyes were a bit iffy, but he's a horned, pierced demon skully!!!!

SkyBlue, if you lie those bits in the floor and take a photo it could be your depiction of Lucifer quiet litterally after his fall, then it can be both angel and demon  ;)

She was an angel but when the luna turned her pretty pink dress into yellow sludge i figured she was a hellbeast. Then i slipped with the halo and just knew she was a monster.

All brilliant beads! It's particularly lovely to see the sculptural ones.  Who swore when making their bead, or is that just me?  ???  :D
Title: Re: MONTHLY THEME CHALLENGE - MAY/JUNE 2012!!!
Post by: Lotti on May 31, 2012, 10:35:35 AM
I love all the sculptural ones, so clever, must be brave and have a go at one of these.

I made a bead with clio etc a week or so ago that I called Angel's wing, so thought I would try to do a dark one using Notos (which didn't do what I expected it to, but then not sure what I expected!), so here is my intrepretation of a fallen angel's wing (sort of covers both angels and demons ;) although it's a bit too blue really for what I wanted!).  I will try to make a proper angel though too. :)

While working on the colour challenge I messed up a bead by encasing in 004 clear. It was scummy as h*ll so I decided it must be a demon and gave it eyes and horns. It's the one to the right in the picture. The other one came later, also a bead that didn't turn out like it should.

(http://rangifer.se/exp_img/demons_300.jpg)

I've been playing with an idea for an angel made in three beads. This head looks a lot like a Lego figure's head...

I had a go:

One-Winged Angel

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7233/7346576544_07bc8e8d2a_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/7346576544/) (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8151/7346576692_af950c9f57_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/7346576692/) (http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7230/7161368055_505db3f085_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalorlo/7161368055/)

The dreaded 'tink' noise happened when I was adding the wing, so I left it at the one! She split in half up the mandrel when taking the bead off, so I've glued her back together again - there are a few surface cracks too.

Fire-Winged Demon

I made the wings first and added them on after making the figure this time. She's got a few surface cracks too but didn't break.

I think I ought to make some goddess beads without the wings to see if I can keep them in one piece! Since I've only made one teeny one before, way back.

Wow Heather they are amazing!  Love the pussy cat demon and angel Ingrid and your demon is fab Izzy.  Pretty angels Noora and Shirl :)  And the red demon Helen is brilliant.  They are all so characterful, so clever, I still haven't managed to do a charater angel/demon, mine have all ended in a water bath! :)

Hope this is Ok,
I have entered another thing as I was feeling very inspired by all previous works on here, so just had to have another go and made this  :)

I'm pretty chuffed with my 'Angel Queen' - Not too bad me thinks for a newbie ;D All seperate conponents ( well two being head & body bead  :D)  The thing on it's head is the crown  ;D

Made on a hothead torch  ;)
Cheers,
Louise

The wings may be a bit wonky as she has just landed. Crown & hairdo a bit off due to adverse weather flying conditions.

Wow mamaquilla that is fantastic.  I've just realised it's July and I haven't posted my attempt I made back in May!!  Apologies if it's too late.  I had great fun making this but sadly she has a crack down her back hence the madrel piccy.
