QUOTH THE RAVEN

I am so pleased to have found so many folk who share my passion for E.A.Poe.... i used to think i was maybe a little strange.... but i now know that i at least am not alone in my strangeness.
I have borrowed the words of the eloquent Ike to announce the new challenge............
The Master was most pleased with your wondrous creations on the first Quest, in fact, he was so uplifted by the offerings of so many minions that he challenges you next to strive even further in your efforts and manufacture a creation in his Own image :-D
It may take the form of anything your little hearts desire but must contain therein his wondrous countenance.

....... thats our challenge for the next two weeks.... make something...anything.... using any thing you want to use with the Masters likeness.
My piece is a framed 12''x12'' art piece. The images are all from the internet. Stamped on and altered my me. The mount is stamped ...distressed...inked and distressed some more.
The centre piece is a small cameo of Poe in a brass bezil with mess over embossed foil card.
The frame has been painted, distressed, painted again, distressed again then rubbed over with metallic paste.
The embellishment in the corner is made from some silk leaves that i painted then heat embossed.... i love the look you get doing that.... and the flower thing i made up from other bits in my fabric scrap box.
The raven is a TH die cut.... rubbed over with metallic paste.
I hope that you'll find time to join us.... i love nothing better than coming to see Poe art work.
I shall enter this piece into the following challenges.....

  4. This is amazing and looks as though it should be hanging in a museum or a Victorian era home. So lush and vintage and beautiful.
    High dollar art right there!!! Too bad you don't have an Etsy shop to sell stuff like this!!!
