Day #4 of the 31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN and NEW CHALLENGE at QUOTH THE RAVEN

How now Beloveds ?
Forsooth - how time doth fly and we find ourselves again here for a further Quest.
The Eve for haunting and witches doth creep ever closer ! Perchance thou dost hanker for an abundance of horror and creepiness ? The, hie thee hence to the site of our beloved Sisters of the creep at Smeared & Smudged Forum  wherein they doth celebrate each of the 31 Days of creepiness with projects and Rewards to tempt thee.

And now Beloveds - thy Quest this time at QUOTH THE RAVEN shall be
Take delight in producing for the Master that which your heart desires albeit that it shall appeal to His taste in it's dark, silky succulence, for the Master shalt shudder at the flippant frills and fancies of sugary sweetness !!
Explore thee thy dark and Gothic side in this, the season of ghostly doings, when ghouls and goblins doth abound.
Of cause, as you have probably already guessed, the above text is from QUOTH THE RAVEN challenge blog...masterfully written by IKE , who is generously sponsoring this challenge with a voucher for her digi store..... be honest who doesnt want to win some of IKE's digis?
The two below are just a couple of them that i coloured up for a previous QUOTH THE RAVEN CHALLENGE
 Such hauntingly beautiful images.....
Now on to my offer to the master this month...... a writing desk....1/12th scale for a dolls house.
 Its a handmade desk.... painted, aged ,distressed, stamped images heat embossed in silver then distressed and vanished over...
 the drawer knobs are made from tiny beads.... on the top, a black cat sits upon two tiny handmade books,playing with a rose in a vase made from a large blood red bead.....a skull with a candle on top...and another candle in a bead holder....
 The writing flap is linined with faux leather....
 inside the desk is a framed picture of the master himself.... tiny ink wells, made from beads.... keys, pencils made from cocktail sticks and an ink pen whittled by me.... i have the cuts to prove it..... to reply to the love letters kept bound with a rose...... tiny envelopes and writing paper.....
 This tiny desk has been a labour of love for me..... it took many hours....drying time really gets me down! I hope you'll join in our ANYTHING POES challenge..... i'm sure a lot of the 31 day bloggers will do a POE piece during the month long hop...... please consider join us?
The full 31 day blog roll is on my side bar.....have fun hopping and see you again tomorrow for day #5.
I'd like to enter the following challenges.....
