This is my FINISHED 6 x 4 inch book page for our PaperArts Sept Swap,which, due to a change of themes, is late in being finalised.
We all had to use collage sheet images from Itkupilli , so our completed book will have a great uniform look to it.
There are 13 participants which is just the right amount for the theme...don't you agree?
All the images on my page are 3D mounted onto the background. I used medical gauze for the "grass" and painted over it with a yucky mix of acrylic paints.
Here we have the Bonehead family in a family portrait.
Mother, altho' a little shaky on her old bones, is dressed in her best old gown and is sporting a beautiful black rose hat which I think really enhances her wonderful high cheekbones!
The children were on their best behavior as they were promised that they could watch the DVD "How Frankenstein Met his Death" after the photo shoot if they stood still and put on a startled face!
Little Hedra was always Daddy's favourite so she was given the privilege of holding what was left of him so he would be included. You can see by the smile on his face that he was thrilled to be there.
Hannibal took along his pet, "Blackie" who was kept on a short rein so as not to creep off out of the camera's range. It also ensured that the nasty black crow that was eying him off would not swoop down and take him for his supper!
Hannibal's twin sister, Lucretia found the whole time boring as...she just wanted to get it over with so she could go back home and pull off some more doll's heads!

Welcome back! Love the 3-D effects. I haven't been doing anything spooky this season and really should do at least one fun Halloween piece.

This is an great piece! It would have been fun to participate in your book swap as you know I love the artist/designer.(and the altered artist!)
I, too, was in a book page swap, with 13 others. I used the same collage sheet. My piece wasn't at all as complex as yours, but please come have a look. I did a portrait of Doriana Gray.
