Memorable smells.

A Dash Of Sunny Prompt Nights set the theme 

"Nothing is more memorable than scent" for this weeks poem,

so I thought I would have a go.

 Scent of Death

I do not fear the scent of Death.

For me it is not rotting flesh.

Nor will it be sad dank decay

That fills my mind at end of day.

I will be drawn by perfumed flowers

To Summerlands and rose filled bowers,

Where bluebells dance between the trees

And honey wafts from buzzing bees.

My face forever a happy grin

As I savour the smell of sun-kissed skin.

I also wanted to make another paper doll project for

 Dream in Darkness May Challenge using digi images,

but my printer wouldn't work.

I is very driven when the muse is on, so I had to make my own pattern lol

I started by using another of Donna's face stamps

then cut out rough body parts from scrap paper.

 Next I cut the pieces from stiffer card stock...

 These pieces I decorated before fastening together with brads(split pins)

 She turned out to be a bit of a wanton wench lol

 I added a few accessories ...

She has a book of death poems, a pointy hat, and Poe's Raven (smeared ink stamps) as a familiar.

Now she is off to join this weeks LOC Challenge #129 Witches :D

Enjoy :D XXX

Voodoo Val...

Had a chance to get messy again today, so thought I'd get in early this week for

 LOC Creative Challenge #128 Mixed Media

Magical Mischief 

 Voodoo Val

Is a strange kinda gal.

In her eye is a bit of a gleam.

She will smile with her lips,

And wiggle her hips,

But all is not quite what it seems.

With a wave of her hand

Your unable to stand,

And she'll wrap you up tight in a hug.

As stars fill your eyes

It should be no surprise....

Your gonna wake up as a bug!

Dream in Darkness' Challenge #13 is Anything goes,

 but the DT have been making paper dolls.

This reminded me of a recent post by Darcy where she made up a little paper doll using some of her stamps as body parts....

I has Darcy stamps!!!...and a few face stamps...

 I stamped a few of the images onto plain white card...

 Chose the ones I wanted to use

(this one is called "Beautiful" and is by Donna Rodgers)

 coloured with markers and cut out...

 assembled and added a few embelishments

and glitter....

after all a girl should always "sparkle" just a little.

:D Enjoy XXX
