"Gears 2 (SPA Guest Host)" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week I have the honor of guest hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Gears."

When I chose this theme, I thought, "This won't be hard to make." Boy, was I wrong. As the title of this piece indicates, this was my second attempt to make something for this. Go figure. :-)

"Harvest Moon Skeleton / Wings (3 variations)" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved

© All Rights Reserved

I don't normally make very similar pieces and post all of them. I usually choose the one that I think looks the best, and get rid of the variations, but for this piece, I liked all of these. The first one is the original one that I made. Then I thought he might look better moved to the left, without any wings, and I liked that. Then I thought what if he had the wings, also? And I liked how each one looked, so I couldn't "get rid of" any variation.

Also, October is the Hunter's Full Moon, and September is the Harvest Full Moon, but Autumn colors on the trees don't start appearing until October where I live, so I took some artistic license with the name and timing of this piece.

These decorative taper candle holders are slightly oversized, so I am unable to put taper candles in them, which is disappointing.
