BACK ON-LINE..... SMUDGY ANTIC and MORE!

Grab a cuppa this is a long post! Sorry i have been away so long.... my old computer finally gave up on me totally and although i brought a new one being so technically challenged its taken me a while to get going again.
We have a new challenge for you today at SMUDGY ANTICS.....POE ME..... you need to make a project inspired by the man himself or any of his work..... it must have a stamp somewhere on it ..... and we now allow any companies stamps but to win thee prize it must be a SMEARED INK STAMP........ and the prize this week is....... YEP my Poe project...... a goth cuff with a detachable POE clip....so for those of you like me with a larger hand or non-bending thumbs you can wear the clip on your jacket.... in a POE BOX. The box is topped with a tile i made using SMEARED INK stamps....Poe is masked and an image from HOLY CITY stamped over it..... then its triple embossed.

The cuff is made from black lace, velvet, and ribbon.... the clip has a copyright free image of POE and ribbon roses round it. As you can see the box and inside has black/gold ribbon trim around it.....

.... and a small trinket on the side with POE's signature ...a copy of cause!

I hope you can join us this week..... and that my POE piece goes to a loving home.

Now onto a project that i made for the SMEARED AND SMUDGED November members blog hop but couldnt post it as i had no 'puter..... it is POE again but this time STEAMPUNK POE.

This was such fun to make..... i used loads of stamps ....POE from SMEARED INK of cause ... and a set of STEAMPUNK stamps from CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS.

I frame is altered with card i embossed using one of those folder things... the back ground is a page from an old electronics manual that i stamped all over and ink distressed....

...... the bits are all from my DADS garage....... he said it was JUNK and i'd never use it..... but here is the proof...... DAD i love your JUNK....... please can i have some more?

The brass clock thing and dragonfly clock were mine..... dont know where from.

This piece is quite fitting for this weeks SMUDGY ANTICS CHALLENGE.... but i dont wanna win my own POE piece do i?

FINALLY....did i hear you sigh?

My Tag for last wednesdays DRAGONS DREAM..... the film title for inspiration is CHINA TOWN ...and the theme is ORIENTAL.

The stamps i used are all NON SEQUITUR from DE-STEMPELWINKEL.... masked/ stamped/ ink distressed and i added some flower-soft stuff to give a flat tag a little interest.
