It’s that time again. Time for the Smeared and Smudged monthly member blog hop! Our theme this month was “WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF?” We were supposed to share our phobias.
There really aren’t that many things I’m scared of, but the one thing that creeps me out beyond all else is CENTIPEDES! This is partly to blame on the fact that I watched The Wrath of Khan too many times as a small child.(remember the things they put in their ears?)EEEK!
So here is my project, featuring one of these disgusting creatures…
I used Distress inks and my brayer for the background. I used the Grate stamp from the Quoth the Raven set from Smeared Ink in white and black inks. The nasty critter was a public domain image I found on wikimedia and colored with my Copics.
This also goes along with the current Smudgy Antics Anything Goes challenge.
Thanks for looking!

Oh yeah - and Thank You very much for joining us at Smudgy Antics this week (got carried away there) hee hee :-D xxxx
Brilliant bookmark, it's just not natural for anything to have that many legs they are just creepy lol

Great job!!
Eeeewwww those things make me cringe......Great bookmark though.
And Thanks for joining us at Smudgy Antics too :)
Haha! I was thinking exactly what Ike wrote. I can see you reading in bed late at night and drifting off as the bookmark falls out onto your chest and scares you half to death! I hate those creepy crawlies too! I won't even let my cats go near them. I make my hubbs squish them! Wonderful piece! Thanks for sharing and thanks for playing along with Smudgy Antics :)
Yup hate them too, especially the big hairy ones that sting if you touch them, yuk ...But you made a real cool bookmark, I would be afraid to use it though....thanks for sharing at smudgy antics
Great scary book mark! I hate those things too!! I didnt know they bite tho?
Peace,
Kristy
Bagh! I don't like them either so I can totally relate to that phobia --creepy crawly. Great job bringing this together. So what will you do with it now? :)
Eeek I hate any kind of bug. This is a fabulous bookmark. The colors are fabulous.
ewww yuck yepper I have to agree those are some freaky looking things now. especially if one gets its way into the house. ewww thats a good one. that bookmark rules.
oh my goodness it looks real i could not use the book marker i would jump every time i saw it lol..awesome art
hugs,
susan s.
Cool background and great job! xx lisa
That is a great looking bookmark. I cannot stand those things either but I had a millipede as a pet as a child. How many people can say that? LOL
What a great bookmark, and the satisfying bit would be squishing him between pages as you shut the book for the night. TFS your phobia with us on both the hop and at Smudgy Antics this week

Love your bookmark all them legs do creep you out xxx
Ooh I hate centipedes, too, lol! Love your bookmark background and that is a cool image - but I think it would freak me out opening my book again and again to find it staring out at me, lol!
FYI I got your ATC in the mail and I'm doing a post about it on my blog. Thanks so much they are beautiful!!
I am sooooo sorry that I scrolled down because your bookmark, while well done, kind of skeeved me out. I hate centi-millipedes too!
