We have a new challenge for you today at
QUOTH THE RAVEN
#38 COLOUR CHALLENGE

chooseth at least 3.... or why not use all of these divine hues?

Here is my offering to thy Master....
somewhere to keep your keys safe.

 Its another charity shop find.... sanded, painted then covered with designer paper, inside and out.
The edges have all been sanded back and distressed...
I added ''Darkness there and nothing more'' a line from the poem 'The Raven' using rub-on letters.

 Heres the inside.... NO orange i'm afraid... maybe next week when I do a reminder post?
I used this Poe image from CS DESIGNS.... coloured with alcohol pens and pencils.... I then used diamond glaze to make it into a faux tile.
You have until NOVEMBER 26th to join us in this challenge
you are in with a chance of winning a heap of goodies from the ever generous IKE.

Lastly just a little peek at another project of mine you'll see later in the hop on the DE-STEMPELWINKEL designers blog.

Stamped with a hand drawn background...coloured my usual way..
alcohol markers, pencils and ink. White gel pens for the highlights.

 As everyone seems to like the clay things I've done so far during this hop,
I thought I'd do another....
This is the little box....

 this is the end alteration....
a fossilised frog.

I used a cobweb stamp to give texture....
and a 'word' stamp on the front and back....

the words are Poe's.... who else would I use?

The stamps I used on this box are exclusive to DE-STEMPELWINKEL.

Once again thank you for continuing to stop by.... It does mean an awful lot to me.... THANK YOU.

Today I have a bit of a bumper post...
Here is todays calender page, made for the new challenge at
DELICIOUS DARKNESS,
the challenge is ANYTHING GOES as long as its  Hallowe'en.

 I have used Teri's gorgeous LA LLORONA
You have a whole month to enter with the chance of winning some of Teri's superb images.
I kept the colouring on this really simple as the image needs nothing really.
I just used shades of lilac, pink and pale blue pencils to give it an even more ghostly feel.
Please come and join us this month...we love to see your dark creations.

 I have also got a project on the DE-STEMPELWINKEL blog today that you'll see later in the hop.
I have started altering a board book from one of our pound stores....
I only have all the pages covered and the cover completed...DUH! I really should have done better!

 HDH MACABRE MONDAY is now into the second week of our challenge...
YOU WOOD DO THAT.
I have altered some wooden crosses.... 2 can be seen at DE-STEMPELWINKEL,
so I won't show them here... you'll see them with the book cover later in the hop.

 I covered the crosses with clay...stamped into it, and baked 'em in the oven.
I gave each a slightly different paint paint finish.
You'll see the 5 I altered at HDH...3X NECKLACES, 2X KEYRINGS.
You have until Sunday to link up your 'wood' project with us...
we minions really love seeing what dark creations you come up with.

Well thats it... Thank you for stopping by today.... see you again tomorrow I hope for DAY #14.
