The Pit and the Pendulum

Today I made another fat page for my Poe book. 
I watched Vincent Price in The Pit and The Pendulum. 
Then designed my plan from the Movie! 
This is the Challenge this fortnight over at  



Here is my entry!!
I think everyone else probably went with a pendulum, and I thought about making a swinging one to have in front of this, before I had the whole design in my mind, but I decided against it. I like being different. :)
So I went with the main torture room, and the sitting iron maiden, that dear Elizabeth gets locked in 
and left forever, and her previous "Wall of Internment" 
and from the Pit/Pendulum room the creepy reapers on the wall.

it is a combination of painting, paper, digi stamp, rubber stamps and hand drawing.
Paper -I believe it is older BASIC GRAY, Brick wall stamp by LAYERS OF COLOR, Flying skull stamp by BOMBSHELL STAMPS, The Criss-cross stamp is by SMEARED INK 
(from the Quoth the Raven set). Scared Eyes is a digi stamp by SMEARED INK.
Black and gray paint for the reapers, fine line black sharpie also, 
and red stickles by RANGER for the eyes. The sharpie used to make the name plate and her name, 
with copper stickles. Copper paint pen for a cut in view of Elizabeth's fear inside the iron maiden.
SHARPIE white poster paint pen for skull, and silver paint pen for the wings.
STAMPIN' UP markers for the flesh and eyes of Elizabeth.


Hope you like my take on The Pit and the Pendulum!

THE GAME Challenge #1-- TicTacToe

Hello and Happy Sunday everyone!
I have two challenges this Sunday,
My one for Robyn's fetish (will be posted next)
and the BRAND NEW CHALLENGE BLOG... THE GAME

I am very proud and nervous as this was my baby, I've been nursing it for months, and now it is standing on it's own! LOL

Please check it out, and join in the fun. This Challenge blog is for ALL types and ALL styles of ART, and open to those 18 and older ONLY. Therefore you will see an adult content warning before allowing you on the blog...no worries we are virus free, porn*, and spam free.
(* there may be nudity in art form, but it is not going to be a porn site)

Here is the Board we were to use for our TIC TAC TOE choices:
 I used the top horizontal row- ribbon, flowers, and staples.

Card stock by STAMPIN' UP, the embossed piece was received as a RAK, I tore it in half. Ribbon from my stash, the staples are very small as they are from my Tiny Attacher by Tim Holtz for RANGER. I used it for attaching the horizontal piece of ribbon, attaching the bow, and making the ruffled vertical line. The flowers are old and from my stash. the Butterfly is a sticker 
by MRS. GROSSMAN.  The gem swirl is by MICHAEL'S (and received as a rak) The wonderful vintage collage image is from DEZINAWORLD. The sentiment is computer generated.


Please consider checking out THE GAME and joining in with the fun!
Thanks for visiting! :)

another page to my mini dark journal

I haven't worked on this in ages...I had started the bkgd. and knew what I wanted to do with it, but hadn't acted on it. Today I finally did.  Those of you who have been around a while might remember I am doing 2 of these in this size, one to reflect me in my dark times and one for my happy times.
The pages are all 4 x 6, and most have something that hangs over the edge(side edge)  not all pages but most.

 2 views...
