Quoth the Raven - 31 Days of Halloween!

Image
By

"Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered, weak & weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore - 
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door - 
"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door -
only this and nothing more."
Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven


Who doesn't know this famous quote from Poe's poem The Raven?
His poems & stories are so creepy & dark that of course many of his works conjure up thoughts of All Hallows Eve! 
So what better subject for a day in our
31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop
with the team at Smeared Ink!

If you've been following along all month, you know that our challenge is to create Halloween or Day of the Dead-themed projects with some kind of stamping on them. It's been really cool to see all the different work out there!

 It's Becky here today to share my 2nd project for the month & not my first Poe project! {My first one was published in Somerset Studios last year!}...

To see more detail about how I created this project, visit my personal blog HERE.

Happy Haunting!

 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.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
