JANUARY SMEARED AND SMUDGED BLOG HOP and lots more!


It's that time again! Time for the Smeared and Smudged member blog hop. The theme this time around is......RIPPED, TORN AND FOLDED!
Blog Roll

I have made a pocket (folded!) to hold the poem ''Quoth the Raven''.... this is the front....
Why blogger has decided that the next two photos have to be on their sides is a mystery to me :)
the Raven is on the back....and inside is the poem.

I have used a mix of digital and lovely real rubber stamps.... ink and promarkers to colour my images and card stock. I used a copper coloured metallic pen to do the fine edging lines.... ribbon, glitter ribbon and gems to decorate.
The wrap around my pocket card is vellum.... not real vellum i hasten to add.... i only found out what real vellum is actually made from  earlier this week and i was pretty amazed... eeek!
The vellum is TORN along the the long edges and RIPPED at the sides near the gems.


This project will do nicely for SMUDGY ANTICS this week as the theme is to INCLUDE A  POCKET.... and it'll do at HDH where we have a FREAKERS FREE FOR ALL..... come and join us at both if you can.
We also have a ANYTHING POE challebge running at QUOTH THE RAVEN...... so maybe you can join us their sometime soon too.... please...pretty gothic please?
The project below is my actual DT piece for all 3 this week but blogger has been such a pain in the backside that i couldnt post the photos......
 ....its a made from scratch pocket, pocket book..... the pages are hammered vellum paper.... the cover is covered with black velvet.... trimmed with leather, chains, hearts and a TH book plate framing POE.
There are 8 concealed pockets containing tags with black ribbons for easy removal.
Sorry for the long post..... hope you'll enjoy the hop and maybe play along with one of the challenges i mentioned.

    Wow! I'd pick my jaw up from the floor if it wouldn't cause me to get dizzy and fall on my face. You have outdone yourself again, my scaly friend! Your project is so darkly elegant and as the girls have said, very professional looking. You are the most talented person I know and I am proud to call you my friend.

    This piece has me lost for words it is so absolutely beautiful. I feel it should be entered into some masterclass somewhere but so much of your work is like that, Lyn. Always wonderful to see and admire. I love all the pages and the cover and the embellishments. Vee xx. ps I agree about the vellum. I read a story which was set in medieval times and the vellum was more than animal!! I will say no more as that is double yuck! xx
