You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Halloween-based art piece
that shows us some chompers, teeth, fangs, dentures, etc.!
Creepy toothy grins to wind up teeth!
If it has something to do
Creepy toothy grins to wind up teeth!
If it has something to do
with teeth, we wanna see it!
Here is my take on the challenge. It's not really macabre, but it does involve teeth.
I created a shadow box from an upcycled mouse package. I used it because it already resembled a shadow box and it had a velcro closure on the lid. I made my own papers with Dylusions Spray Inks and stencils. The teeth are a mold of my little brother's mouth before he had braces. Originally I was going to use my sister's mold as her teeth were really gnarly and it had the top and bottom separate. Those suckers would have been macabre! Anyway, I lost them. I will bet a million dollars that I find them as soon as this post goes up.

I decided to stamp the date that I "Stole" the teeth and made the project. I'm going to wrap this up and give it to my brother. I'm strange like that.
