QUOTH THE RAVEN QUEST #50 - BUNCH OF POEsies - MIDWAY REMINDER

Hi Peeps,
Here I am with my creation this month for our latest Quest over at QUOTH THE RAVEN.Our challenge theme this month is #50 " A BUNCH OF POEsies ", so we want you to create a POE inspired piece which must include some FLOWERS.
You can make anything you like as long as it has this and is obviously connected in some way to EDGAR ALLAN POE, since that what our Blog is all about :-D

For my piece I have used a scrapbook template called ' Weathered Floral ' which was a freebie from CatDes, and I have used images from a freebie collage sheet to put inside the frames. This is a digitally created piece using PSE 9.

I have just realized that I didn't post my creation for the start of Quest #50, so here is that one too. :-)

This piece was made using up bits and pieces of lace from my snippets box and some black mesh - which is actually a snippet of Mosquito Screening :-D The flowers are made from black card and the image and background paper are by me and available at IKEsART. I stitched the image onto the background mount and sewed right through to hold the mesh in place.

You have until 2nd DECEMBER 2015 to play along with us at QUOTH THE RAVEN and we would love to see you there.

Thank you for dropping in.

QUOTH THE RAVEN QUEST 33.. A PUNCH OF POSIES

Good morning Peeps,
Here I am with my creation for this month's Quest #33 over at QUOTH THE RAVEN. Our theme is "A Bunch of POEsies"  and we are looking for flowers on your creation BUT it still has to be connected to the Master - Edgar Allan POE, coz that's what we're all about right ?! :-D

Here is my piece - a book cover that I shall be making more creations to go inside... eventually LoL
I have called it "The Book of My Mind's Eye"..... not really sure why but that was an idea I woke up with and here it is. !!

I covered some thick cardboard with kitchen roll and squidged it all up to get texture and then put Gesso on it. Then I used different inks and dies splurged on it to make it brown. I also used a sort of paste stuff called 'PRECIOUS METALS'  Bronze that the wonderful BD sent me as a gift :-)  LUV this stuff.

The eye was made with half a styrofoam ball and more kitchen paper for the lids. The veins were done with tiny pieces of red feather. Eyelashes are made from a brown feather. I then stuck it to some embossed card and made a ripped edge.

The flowers were made with my new STAMPIN' UP punch and stamps set called 'Flower Shop'. I then coated them with some nail varnish that I don't like on my nails coz it takes foreva to dry !!!  When you move it in the light it changes hue slightly - sorry that doesn't work on a photo !! LoL It's pinky/purple one way, or blue/green, or a sort of yellowy hue :-)

Hingey things and swirls from stash box.

I am going to enter into the SoSS Challenge - C is for CRAP... coz I have no idea why I bought a sheet of stick on hinges and locks that don't even look like metal AND they don't stick properly and that awful nail varnish (and you know... I found 2 pots of the same darnstuff !!!) hahahaha LoL

OK - that's it for now I think.

We are a little short staffed at QTR this month so BLACK DRAGON will be posting her creation  a bit later on. :-D

Bye for now and I hope you will come over and play along. I mean - FLOWERS.... how dfifficult can it be ????!!! hee hee
