I made this at the workshop taught by the fabulous Nicole Carew Merkens a couple of weeks ago. Vintage pieces from my stash, chain from Alpha Stamps.
Oooh lovies – you know that I find GREAT humour in the macabre and I found most fab artist to fill the never ending need named Lorin Morgan Richards. His work is described as Edward Gorey meets Tim Burton (how could I resist??)
Mr. Richards has just released his first book which he also binds himself titled “Simon Snootle and Other Small Stories” for get this. $20. Underpriced IMHO!
Anyhoo -check out his site. You’ll love it and want to get your own copy of Simon Snootle!
Reason #271 why I need a maid:
It is much too dangerous for my health for me to clean. I just about killed myself with Tilex fumes! I **didn’t** spray very much of it but the fumes are everywhere and I had to open up all of the windows and turn on the attic fan.
Now the house is freezing…lol
Slim Daddy leaves on TUESDAY to go to CA for his new job. *I* will be here, with the Oompa Loompas and their antics. I can’t help but wonder that by the time the house sells if:
a. I will become an alcoholic with bottles of Patron hidden throughout the house, in the chandelier and under my pillow.
b. I will end up as a faded version of Sweet Charlotte, only locked away in some old crazy Southern Gothic Asylum with Baby Jane as the head cook.
c. I will take to rocking back and forth with glazed eyes, repeating to myself over and over “Ah lahk peach pah.”
d. I will get arrested on a nightly basis for running screaming from the house like a banshee on crack, ripping my hair out, tearing at my clothes and periodically howling at the moon.
e. All of the above.
Needless to say – I am telling my friends to call at least every other day so that they can make sure I answer the phone, and I am not tied up with duct tape in the basement being fed only dry cereal and curdled milk to drink by the Oompa Loompas.
