Alas, poor Yorick! and a Flower Fairy update . . .

Image
By

I've been creating layouts in a small art journal I stitched up a while back, and have a Halloween-ish one to share with you today:

Alas, poor Yorick!  I knew him, Horatio . . .
Okay, maybe it's more literary-ish than Halloween-ish, but that Sin City skull stamp immediately brought Hamlet to mind, and hey, that  is a pretty creepy story . . . an Altered Pages Shakespeare image, some spritzy black Dylusions, a black jewel, and crayons pretty much do it for this layout.

 Want to see a couple more layouts from The Flower Fairy Alphabetica?  I've been adding to it bit by bit:

Thank you for stopping by, and Happy Thursday!

      I think X might be one that doesn't officially have a flower--for several of them, it's two letters to one square . . . hey, don't look at me, I didn't make the list! ;)

 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.
