Okay, I’ve been thinking of this piece for a while. \u00a0I LOVE the “Addams Family” movies. \u00a0I was still pretty young when they were released but as I grew up, I really appreciated them more and more. \u00a0If I’m being\u00a0completely<\/em> honest, I prefer the second movie, “Addams Family Values”, mostly because of Joan Cusack’s role as Debbie. \u00a0Both films are part of my movie collection though and I enjoy re-watching them. \u00a0Anywho, back to the piece…<\/p>\n I was going for a baroque kind of cameo necklace feel. \u00a0It felt like it would fit with the feel of the Addams family but still be a little maybe goth-looking. \u00a0I took FULL advantage of Illustrator’s built in patterns and stamps\/symbols. \u00a0The frame is pretty much completely symbols that I arranged together into the circular frame. \u00a0I ended up layering a lot of patterns to give things depth, like her dress and the background. \u00a0I “built” the knives and the poison bottle which took far longer than I would have thought but they ended up looking great. \u00a0I have to give a shout-out to Jeff Bell for his font “Fiddums Family Font”, which I used for her name in the bottom scrollwork. \u00a0This font is a free download and I found it on http:\/\/dafont.com\u00a0. \u00a0And finally, Wednesday herself, I “built” using shapes and lines and just shaping them into the final product. \u00a0It was a long process but I’m really happy with the results.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoy this piece, I know I do, and thanks for looking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, I’ve been thinking of this piece for a while. \u00a0I LOVE the “Addams Family” movies. \u00a0I was still pretty young when they were released but as I grew up, I really appreciated them more and more. \u00a0If I’m being\u00a0completely honest, I prefer the second movie, “Addams Family Values”, mostly because of Joan Cusack’s...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,11],"tags":[376,377,378,88,385,90,383,381,379,380,382,384,374,375],"class_list":["post-513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital","category-random","tag-addams","tag-addams-family","tag-addams-family-values","tag-art","tag-cameo","tag-dark","tag-knives","tag-macbre","tag-movie","tag-movies","tag-poison","tag-portrait","tag-wednesday","tag-wednesday-addams","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=513"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":711,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513\/revisions\/711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevenselbyart.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
