hi all..
I know that Toni has often shared how we come up with some of our patterns and ideas..this project is no different..it began with a skull, book and raven..and this is what it evolved into

all in the hopes that we might find something a bit different for the halloween season.
feedback and comments are always appreciated..

Does Toni mind you picking her dressing table as the source material?

ROFLMAO...ahhh, I'm sure she'll have at least one or two comments on that one!!

Gill · 10-01-2008, 04:15 PM

To be serious for a moment, I think it's a gem of a project. I do like projects with a 'dark' side.

Thank you

I almost started drawing another 'face' along the lines of last year's Fisnarl..was that his name?,,hmmm anyway..I do enjoy the possibilities for Halloween projects..perhaps I should try a frankenstein next

very well done Sue. It just amaze me how you folks make everything so real. That shelf looks like it projects away from the wall with all the items sitting right on it.
Great job!!

Interesting piece Sue, good colors and detail, about the only thing I would do differently is make the eye and nose holes dark. Well done.

Looks fantastic Sue!
I've got part started in intarsia - but didn't get beyond the skull and candle before having to put it aside for an order.
