Skeletons in my closet

 

I'm playing catch up by once again joining Elle from Empire of the Cat, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme, which you may know by now, is Fairytales, Folklore, and Fables - Tell Me A Story

This journal page is aptly called
 
Skeletons in my closet.
 
I adore this hand which shows all the parts to the skeletal fingers and hand.
 
I wanted to give this a Halloween vibe, so included the Trick or Treat.

These are the skeletons I'm keeping in my closet.

I've also got a skull there, too.
 
I started this page by spraying several of my handmade shimmering mists onto 110 lb cardstock.  Then I proceeded to cover the majority of the mists with my focal image.  I watered down metallic purple paint and used it as a wash over the skeletons I found in my stash.  I also had the skull and the hand in my stash.  All were printed on my laser printer, then added to the page using a glue stick.  The trick or treat sign came from another project.
 
Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us today, and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own take on Fairytales, Folklore, and Fables - Tell Me A Story.

  4. Great idea for a page Elizabeth, love the purple too. Also love what Valerie said about the skeletons taking up all the room she needs for clothes haha. Maybe that's my problem too! Thanks for joining me for the October theme at Art Journal Journey this month Elle/Empire of the Cat xx

  8. I'm not sure I would want to see actual skeletons in my closet:). I love the purple wash and the orange bit that pops.

  9. I must have come on here last night and then got thrown off the internet (yes, am away again) as I remember seeing your skelebobs.
    Love how you highlighted them with purple and added the orange ticket type words at the side. Two great colours for Halloween that work so well together.
    Love the boney hand even though it does make me shiver. A real spooky page.
    Hugs, Neet xxx

Your thoughts are very important to Bleubeard and me. I appreciate it when you care enough to stop by and even more when you leave a short message letting me know you were here.
