SPECIMENS ANYONE???

I LOVED making this!!!  SOOO fun!!

Specimens!  and some blood too!!
I got the awesome SpecimenBottles from the Altered Pages store.  Then, I had to find things to put in them.


I also got the AWESOME G45 Steampunk Spells Paper.  And that made it soooo easy because one of the sheets of paper had these titles on it.  SO I just had to try to make what they said.  Here, you see my version of Beetle Juice, a mixture of worms and scorpion parts.  The Elixir tags are also from the Altered Pages site.  I used them to write what was in the bottle or jar.  You just saw a rats tail!!


Now you see the Eye of Newt, Wool of Bat and Toe of frog (poor frog!).  And a better look at the "Blood"!!


Finally, a Zombie finger!!

I hope you make your own Specimens!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
