I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
Then in that one moment of time
I will see eternity
And I will be free

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful angel
Don't believe the lies they feed you
Started when we were younger
Tomorrow comes and goes before you know
So I just had to let you know
Beautiful, beautiful life right now
Beautiful, beautiful night right now

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Freaky Circus Clowns".

Awhile ago, I found this freaky Pierrot clown image, so he seemed perfect for this. Any clown is scary, whether or not they are in a circus. I don't know why I don't like them, but I don't.

It's hard to see, but I added a crown over the man's hat, in addition to his wings. I also put a crown on the eagle.

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

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.

I love Halloween and everything spooky, so I couldn't resist putting wings on a skeleton. This guy is dancing to Danse Macabre filmstrip with Harold Dexter Hoopes watercolors.

I made this Dark Raven wood box using a paper cigar box.

It is actually a "redo" of a box that got water damage on the bottom. I painted over the edges of the original design using Martha Stewart Vintage Gold Metallic Paint (346 433 / M18121), using one coat of paint. But I left the bottom as is.

(Note: I intentionally left the cigar labels on the box, and fully or partially decoupaged over them.)

The steps are similar to the ones here.

"Medieval Shapes" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Geometric Shapes".

The diamond shapes are from an Illuminated Manuscript. When I saw the image, the diamonds popped out at me, so I digitally cut them out of it, to use in this. They might not be perfectly geometrical, but this is where my muse took me.
