A Happy Halloween...

This came out more macabre than I'd intended! What I thought of was that the skeleton, with "no body to go with" to the Halloween party, had somehow obtained an E-Legs power-exoskeleton so that it could join in with the celebrations after all, and had brought some spooky party favours, which it was looking at delightedly.... but the power-exoskeleton, once I'd freed it from its original background, looks more like calipers, and so the whole thing became a bit ghost-of-Tiny-Tim-like instead!
Whichever, at least the skeleton still looks happy.

Terror Times

I Married a Ghost

Found antique wedding photo.

Ghostly bride head and groom face as well as ghostly bridesmaids from a book of vintage Halloween postcards.

Flowers from a vintage gardening book.

Tattooed Skull

delivered into dark

For those of you in other countries, Hallowe'en may have some novelty, but I'm in America: the excitement of late October goes back as long as I can remember. My collage for this season is about the colors and moods of the holiday—always for me an escape into darkness.

I was allowed to go trick-r-treating by myself from a very early age. In the fifties and sixties the country was much darker at night—not so many bright lights everywhere. There were pools of deep black all over the place, sometimes even at the strangers' doors I knocked on.

I love darkness. I even trip on terror.

Trick Or Treat

This week's theme: Aaaaargh! It's got to be Halloween!

G-G-G-Ghosties, Ghoulies and Long-Legged Beasties trick or treating
with Drac, Frank and Wolfie, scaring the heebie-jeebies out of everyone
at the Witching Hour for some candy, fruit, nuts and maybe some pennies……and perhaps a few collages!
