🃏👑 QUEEN OF HEARTS ❤️ —When we doubt ourselves, we give fuel to the flames of cryptics, leaving us with bleeding hearts. 🩸When we embrace ourselves with love, we light the darkness with hope and desire.✨

🔥 May your soul be on fire for years to come, only scorching the fears that try to cage you — never the tenderness that makes you powerful. 🌹✨

— Happy Sunday Funday! 💋

🌀 WHAT IS REAL? What you believe shapes the world around you. Be mindful—negative illusions can pull your confidence into a dark spiral if you let them. This world is built on make-believe and wonder, so choose the path that feels true to you. Keep a positive attitude and that childlike curiosity, and step away from the void—what’s meant for you will gravitate your way. ✨

Happy Sunday Funday! 💙#selflovematters

🩸Bring on the virgin blood! Can’t wait to chow-down in my newly created “FEASTING DRESS” at the RVA Vampire Ball NOV 8th and the VAMP CRAWL on Nov 9th!❤️🧛‍♀️— a day-walkers delight. 🩸 (info: AfterDarkRVA.com)

@davinasbodyart #davinasbodyart

Techniques & supplies used: 🎨
(3-day process)

- Thrift store, white lace dress made of polyester, cotton, and rayon
- Spray bottle of acrylic red paint with fabric, medium for starting the fade
- Squished & meshed paint into fabric with hands
- Used water to dilute in spray bottle for faded blood
- Airbrushed light coat of RED into white and faded BLACK into the red for dramatic contrast
- For splatter affects I used airbrush color red with a brush tapped against a stick. Can also use watered down acrylic w/ medium.

Questions?
🩸🧠
…Ask away, I’d love to share.
