gothic cemetery statues

for my soul's dark imagination: gothic cemetery statues 

i've been examining cemetery statues a lot lately. a friend i walk with regularly recently lost her mother and we've started taking some of our walks in the cemetery where her mother is buried. cemeteries are fascinating, beautiful places.

i got inspired by Kym's many beautiful samples and made quite a few pieces myself. because Kym noted how these statues can be both beautiful and creepy, it made me want to do some serious close ups...






i've used a combination of images in these, some freebies that Kym provided on her blog, along with many retired mischief circus images. i also took advantage of filters in my photo editing software to add interest to these images.

love to all.

Your statues have a life of their own and are truly spooky yet amazing! Perfect for the theme! You knocked my socks off with this one, sister!!! glad you were so inspired! And yet, you guys truly inspire me as well! Art is the gift that keeps on giving when shared! Sending many hugs to you!! Thank you for joining in on the challenge!

So sorry I was late posting this week! Lots of situations that have popped up that are stressful, but as I told Deannm...you guys always make my day so that helps!!

Ooooh wouaouh! How beautiful!!
Each creation is unique in its own style and perfectly executed, dear Michele.
(The first statue is Michelangelo's David).
You really went all out with this theme, to our great delight! Bravo, from the bottom of my heart!
I hope you're having a wonderful summer and that you're happy. Kiss-kiss.
