This week’s TwilightTuesday.com challenge is about Villains. The comment portion asks about your reactions to the villains, if they scare you or don’t scare you, etc.
Others have commented about this particular villain, and I agree 100% the villain that scares me the most is Jane. Her power of controlling your mind to create the most unimaginable amount of pain is simply terrifying to me. In my day to day job, I consistently interact with clients who have chronic pain and are learning to cope with it. The mind is an incredibly powerful thing; there are techniques and strategies used to create that “mind-over-matter'” state of being when living with chronic pain, and you’re only as successful as you want to be. Jane’s ability to manipulate the brain’s perception of pain is a very scary thought, mostly in part because it exists, --granted, not to that extent or is it transferrable to other people.
I thought long and hard about what I would do for the crafty challenge, and I came up with a ‘calling’ card for Jane…you know, the type “cat burglars” leave in old movies to let you know you’ve been hit?
Jane is constantly and quite desperately looking for Aro’s approval and I have no doubt that she wants everyone to know what she’s capable of, and would absolutely leave her ‘mark’ with a calling card if she could.
I used some scraps of paper, so both cards are slightly different in size.
I’m not a big fan of Halloween, but I found this Halloween stamp in the Michael’s $1 bin a few years back and had to have it. Although Jane is technically a vampire…she’s more like a witch to me ;)
I stamped the image in my versa mark pad, and heat embossed with black embossing powder. I signed Jane’s name with my Sharpie marker.
So what villain are you afraid of?
