GUEST DESIGNER AT FOREVER NIGHT

Welcome ..... i have the honour of being guest DT at FOREVERNIGHT CHALLENGES this week... not sure what Poor Jamie thought of me when i said...Yes...but.... i dont do cute....so dont ask me to use the creepy cute images that everyone seems to be using at the moment.... her reply was...dont worry our theme is..... EVIL, DARK OR CREEPY.... ALL 3 IF YOU WANT....and its ANYTHING GOES....CARD, ATC ALTERED ART..... now we're talking..... so i made a shadow box.... dedicated to my hero Mr Poe...... ........ i made a faux porcelain flower..... not 1 but 2 faux porcelain skulls ( for you Donna and your challenge at SMEARED and SMUDGED)using a SMEARED INK digi..... printed out 5 times, fussy cut layers and 3D'd..... then dipped in my melting pot. I made 3 faux leather bound books (top right shelf) out of match boxes. I used copyright free images of Mr Poe and his wife (top left and bottom right) layered those and dipped them too.









I used a plastic skull....painted and distressed it and wrapped it in red fabric with skulls on to depict the film...'Masque of the red death' a poe story.... in the center(with the large faux skull) is a black cat with a bloodied knife.... depicting the story 'The black cat'.... there is also a Raven.... from the title of his most famous poem..

I also made little pencils.... added a watch.... a candle on a tiny altered plate.... a decorated domino.... with a raven and a protection symbol on.... oh all sorts of bits and bobs..... i stamped images from SMEARED INKS ...AS DEATH set.... and used them as backing paper in some of the compartments..... ...this was a labour of love for me.... i enjoyed every minute.... and hope to make another soon.... please join in with us at FOREVER NIGHT THIS WEEK..... (click on my post title to go and check out the blog) the challebge is EVIL, DARK AND CREEPY.



I shall enter the following challenges....
