If you are like me you will understand the atmosphere I feel hovering about, enveloping me like a mist.
I become attracted to the "musty smelling", to mausoleums, ghost stories, anything broody!
So I decided to just go with the images I see in my mind at this time of year and create something different for Halloween and Mexico's Day of The Dead.
I had fun making her and decided to add bee's wax over the cloth for an added aging effect.
More "creepiness" to come. BOO!
Hello dear Tina,

Tina that is gorgeous.I love it!So many people on blogger make me so inspired,you are now one.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for you sweet comment on my blog.I do appreciate it.You know since you mentioned vinegar.I know thats what my motherinlaw had in hers.I remember now.I was trying to think, and thats what it was maybe you guys had the same recipe.
Always nice to have you visit,have a great Thursday ahead!
This is something truly original. What an idea. And it is well done. You definitely have a lot of tricks in your bag to work from. Keep on creating.
ReplyDeleteYour Dreamer is quite nice, not scary at all, sorry, JMHO. (Maybe looking in the mirror has me pretty well tempered as to what is really scary)
ReplyDeleteOo-er Tina - I find this stuff unnerving. Strange really as I was brought up with the Roman Catholic feasts of All Souls and All Saints. BTW I really loved your Frida Khalo paintings. Especially as I have recently read The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver. Will you be doing more?
ReplyDeleteHello Tina--It's a cool fall night and the smell of fall is in the air because we've had rain the last couple of days--This has made your creation that much more "mystical" to see. I'm sure the pictures don't do her full justice because I think in looking at her eyes they appear to follow you!
ReplyDeleteWow she is very cool my friend...you amaze me with your talent! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteShe is quite amazing and haunting at the same time. Certainly appropriate for All Hallows Eve.

Thank you for visiting my blog and you very nice comment!
Love this work of art
ReplyDeleteBoo back! She is very cool and I am looking forward to more spookiness. When I was small we lived in an area of Whitehorse called Seepy Hollow. I loved it there, and it was spooky, but then I was only 5. I do remember being told that Sleepy Hollow was a real place that was very scary; ours was too but only at night. Late at night, when the wind howled and the moon was the full. The sheen on the river was thick and oily and the branches scratched at my window.... the dead leaves rustled like papery skin over bones...
ReplyDeleteSHE IS SOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

Hi Tina, I won one of your 5 inch squares in the swap with Jillayne. I love it. It will go well in my sewing room with the other swap squares. You are very talented. Thank you again, Lucille.
ReplyDeleteShe is really amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed! What a gorgeous painting. I am not good with faces at all, really hard aren't they? Keep up the fabulous work.
