Black and greys

This is the new colour challenge at

Gingersnap Creations

I am still not ready to give up on Halloween (two more sleeps!), so I made this piece.

I wondered about good ol' Edgar's romantic life and learned that he married his wife when she was very young and then she died at the age of 24.  How sad.  That's why I've done her on a transparency, to make her kind of elusive. I used an image of a Gibson Girl by Valerie Brincheck.  I never met Edgar's wife actually and so have no real photos of her. ;-)

I learned the rolled paper technique through a tutorial by Christy Tomlinson and loved it so much,
 I plan to do some more. 

The background is a combination of molding paste, stamps, a butterfly from Mickey's, Prima flowers,

misting with stencils, and a chandelier by Hambley.

I had so much fun doing this-waasted an entire day.  But it's the focal point of my Halloween mantle, and I may keep it there for long after the goblins and ghouls have gone.

Thanks for stopping by!
