This is 2 of 3 posts of photographs that I took at Seaside Sanatorium in Waterford, CT this past week.

The area is now a Connecticut State Park, but the buildings themselves are surrounded by chain link fence to prevent trespassing. Unfortunately in the past, vandals broke windows and sprayed graffiti on the inside and outside.

I made a romantic couple / Medieval dragon themed piece awhile ago.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.18.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

"Headless Horseman" - Postcard

I made another Halloween / Sleepy Hollow / Headless Horseman themed piece.

I modified the tail that I used in my previous piece, and used a different design for the rest of this. Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite stories/movies. I'm hoping to make a day trip to the town after Halloween, when it shouldn't be too crowded.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.18.

Pentacle Raven Heart - Wood Box

I recently decoupaged another wood box. This is a hybrid mystical occult theme crossed with a romantic theme. I combined two of my previous wood box designs to create this one.

I had conducted an experiment on this box awhile ago, but I didn't like how it came out, so I put it aside. I revisited it recently, but without going into detail, the original decoupage method I used on it failed when I tried to clear coat it.

I was able to remove the layer that was on this, and applied a completely new design to the box, which is shown in the photograph. I applied two coats of clear coat. The ink faded a little, but I wanted a vintage, rustic look, so that worked well with my desired result.

This is my second entry this week for:

I took these photographs at the Pine Creek Marsh open space walking area in Fairfield, CT this past week.

This is a metal railing foot bridge. The bridge itself is wood planks. Unfortunately there is graffiti on the metal rails, so I couldn't show a full picture of it. I liked the rustic metal works appearance of this bridge.

This is my entry for the following:

Tuesday's Treasures

This place also has trees with perfect shaped Christmas pine cones.
