Star Struck - August Challenge Entries

Our challenge this month is brought to us by Jessica of ABellaBlue who challenged us to create a piece for a celebrity or other famous person or character based upon their personal style, vibe, and overall look. As always each of us interpreted the challenge in our own way and we have some incredible work to present this month.

Gloria of Hemlock Hollow is a True Blood fan, so she created a clever baby vampire fang ring, a treasured momento for Sookie Stackhouse.
