HOMEAGE "OLE" HALLOWEEN ....






This shadow box was great fun to alter and was perfect for a "Halloween" swap on Zuzu's forum, I thought i had made up my mind what I was going to make for the swap, but couldn't resist changing my mind. I was hoping to get some daylight hours when i got home from work today to photograph the box but ran out of time, the glimmer mists are having a conflict with the artificial lighting lol, maybe i will try again over the weekend (edited: new pics, thanks Louise:))

This also fits Crazy Amigos theme of "Halloween", "Wednesday Stamper theme of "Brown Combo" This Thursday "Spooky Season" and TGIF theme of "Dolls" .

It's so funny. We must order the same types of products because so often I see you use something that I have in my stash. You inspire me to take another look at it! This is a fantastic piece...very moody and just ever so slightly spooky.

Love it Gillian - all the "pages" are unique and I can see the glimmer. I bet it's gorgeous in RL (daylight!). It looks really tactile too... and I love that!

Wonderful shadow box!

Jo Capper-Sandon said...

My favourite part (because there always is a fave part) has to be the bat front...very very clever and effective. The kind of Halloween artwork that you could have on show all year round.
my question is, why havent I seen you in Somerset Studios yet? :0)
