On now to my tale......THE PIT & THE PENDULUM. Think ye lucky that thou are not living in the time of the dread Inquisition ? Such a tale I relate of one poor soul who had the misfortune to have been in very close quarter with them. Imagine finding thyself in a dark and dank pit having been on trial with The Inquisition. !! Thou knowest that thy death is inevitable but thou knowest not How - only that it will be slow and painful. !!! The soul within the tale has but 3 choices - to be sliced by the slowly inching, swinging blade of the Pendulum or (having broken free of his bonds) to be either crushed between the slowly advancing, red hot metal walls of his chamber or to fling himself down in the chasm of horror ... The Pit.... and the horrors it may contain, should death not follow instantly. Which choice would thee make I ask ??? The complete story of the tale can be found HERE. Read then and make for the Master a creation representing this tale...... If ye dare !!!!!!
On the outside i attached a pretty bejewelled flower .....(from an old necklace)..... hiding the horrors within. I hope you'll have time to play along this fortnight.....

I thought that was Vinny! Gorgeous piece Lynx! LOVE the sharp pendulum amidst the red ribbon trim. Beautiful(?) little ashtray. My husband has one. Maybe I'll fancy it up for him. I'm sure he'll appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteCOZZZMIC creation - this is just wicked. It looks so cool and sweet from the outside but inside is just sooooo scary. Wonderful as ever BD xxxx
ReplyDeleteI so agree with Ike! Looks sweet then you open it and it creepy too. I have never seen a pocket ashtray...will have to be on the look out for one...very cool! Ultra cool project. Would be a great gift for someone into horror. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Frilly & Funkie this fortnight!
ReplyDeleteWooooo, creepy, creepy, creepy! Hope I never have to make a choice between the pit and the pendulum! Your altered piece is sensational-it really conveys so many aspects of the story. And I have to chime in with the others - what the heck is a pocket ashtray - do I want ashes in my pocket??? I say fling 'em out the window and make altered art out of the ashtray! Super job and thanks for joining in the alter it challenge at Frilly and Funkie!
ReplyDeleteLyn, This is an amazing piece. I love the hidden treasures and the great write up. All so very cool. Thank you for playing along in our Anything Goes / A Plastic Existence challenge on Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent.

ReplyDeleteWow, this is really cool! I have never seen a pocket ash tray before (or maybe I did but didn't realize it.)

Might I just say C is for CREATIVE??? Love this! Totally cool and funky transformation. So glad to see you at Frilly & Funkie this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! Love the pocket watch alteration with all those scary details! Thank you for joining us at Frilly and Funkie!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely marvelous! I saw Poe's face , then the pendulum, and didn't have to read your description to know where your inspiration came from. Love the deceptive flower on the outside.
ReplyDeleteOh wow another stunning creation with clever recyling - this is a great piece of artwork! Thanks again for joining our Recycle, Re-Invent & Re-Purpose Challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou are so skilled to fit so many ideas into such a small space and achieve such depth - really frightening too!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn this is fabulous and so creative. The pocket ashtray is gorgeous and a brilliant piece to treasure.
