For full deets on this Freaking fangtastic Blog hop organised by Smeared Ink and The Smeared and Smudged forum, please hop on over to Terra's blog. All the info on the days sponsors are there as well as any other info you think you might need. The blog hop roll is there in my side bar.
Good morning folks. How many are still with us on this gruelling marathon? Numbers are dwindling me thinks.
Another quickie from me today. Working full time takes it's toll on my creative time and projects are now being made each night before. Still, only a week to go before the big night!!
A few days ago, I previewed this image as coloured only. Rick St Dennis had wanted his EDT to colour the witches Hedwig and Hannah for a special deal available on Airless Chambers for those two days. Anyway, to keep the story short, I've only just got round to using Hedwig.
I printed the previously scanned image twice onto tissue paper. Attaching the tissue to a carrier of cheap copy paper allows the tissue to go through the printed without tearing or scrunching . Cut out my images and attached to my candle using my heat gun.
To decorate the empty space - some fiery jewels. Pinned on as well so that they can be easily removed before lighting the candle.
As I said - quick and easy. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend. - Trying to get ahead again for next week - at least, that's the plan.
Thanks for looking and for all your kind comments so far.

One image on each side. Some black lace pinned on top and bottom.
