DAY 31!?!?! Do you know what that means? I means that TODAY is HALLOWEEN! We have been waiting all month long and it is HERE!!! I am pretty sure this means that you will never again see anything gothic, or creepy or skeleton related on this blog after today. - Yep, I crack myself up! Any of you who know Alex even just a tiny bit know THAT is a big fat lie! LOL!
For the grand finale of 31 Days of Halloween, Alex is allowing me to share a teeny tiny portion of the altered book she is working on. Now this is only one of several, she seems to have a couple going at a time so regardless of her mood, one might fit for creative purposes. I did NOT pick the mermaid one, although that is really something, I did pick the one more fitting for Halloween.
Here is a close up of the left side of this particular page in the book. I know that one time Alex was around when a spider nest opened and if you have never seen this before, it is super cool and creepy all at the same time. Me, I like to think of it as a feast for all, but not everyone has the same taste as I do. Alex worked to try and get the same feel with these spiders emerging from the page. Makes ME hungry just looking at it.
The right side of the spread is less spider and more web and bones.
The bugs caught in the web do make me feel like perhaps I shouldn't write blog posts hungry. I thought it was only grocery shopping or gardening that had that rule, but I guess not.
While Alex wasn't looking I snapped a shot of another page in the book. This one is a bit difficult to capture with a camera, but these images are all stamped and embossed in silver. There is also a lot of loose embossing powder that she melted just where it landed. I hope you can appreciate how gorgeous, in a truly Halloween manner, this particular page is.
Well, now that Halloween has arrived and my 31 Days have ended I bid you all a fond farewell. Lizzie seems to be a tad family orientated and has taken me in immediately. I am not certain this is all for the best, but as of right now, it is working for us. We are planning to take some travels, perhaps even to visit the
Flamingo Queen herself (oops, I almost left off the 'O', that was not quite right!). I will be certain there are pictures and we share our adventures if so! In the meantime, be nice to Alex, she is a bit out of practice on this whole blogging thing you know.
Happy Halloween!

Edgar - what ever you decide to do - I hope you enjoy it. We'll miss you for sure... although not the jokes like that queen one! That book is spectacular for sure. I hope you left a few spiders behind. That silver page has a feel ghostly aura about it, Thank you for sneaking that pic in.
