A taste of Halloween

I totally loved the mood board inspiration for October from Gauche Alchemy, it's up here if you want to play along (and I think you should). I could have gone a dozen different ways with it but chose to do a page using creepy photos I have been taking for years because I am just drawn to creepy, it's in my blood (lol) and this page explains why I suppose.

There are some close-ups and a little back story here if you want more :-)

Thanks for coming by

Not my colour, but.....

It's FRIDAY!!!!

Yay!

I'm pencilling in some me time to get messy today but before I do I just wanted to share my page for the Gauche Alchemy blog last month.

Purple is not a go-to colour for me so I was pleasantly

surprised at how well this worked. 

I spread some clear crackle on my background first and then went to town with Tattered Angels purple and Maya Rd green mists. Combined with the cool doodads from a Gauche Alchemy Purple People Eater mixed media color kit and some flower punchinella it came together really well.

You can see some more detail here in the close-ups.

Thanks for dropping by

Hope you have a crafty weekend

Halloween Grunge

Last year the kids had a Halloween Social at school

and Ed wanted to be a Zombie.

The pics were awesome with him in costume and make-up thanks to

his wonderful (and skilled) big sister Ruby.

This is the page I did for the most recent issue of The Paper Haus e-zine,

you should pop over and check it out if you haven't already,

it is chock-full of stunning work!

I'm linking this up at Paper Issues for their Halloween theme

so head over there if you want oodles of inspiration.
