![]() ![]() The second time I photographed this, I’d added an image of the cover of Daughter of Lies and Ruin. This might have worked if I’d had what I needed to do the fireplace (part of my original plan but it ended up being too hard at the time). ![]() In the first image below, the light is coming from below (from the window), emphasising the raised position of certain items. I’m never happy with the photos I take of my arts or crafts because I can never, no matter how hard I try, get the lighting the way I want it. I’m not sure that the execution really worked - does it look accidental or deliberate? I’m not sure.

Once I started, I realised that the Halloween creations were all smaller, much narrower and a bit shorter than the 12 inch square paper I was using as a base. I’d seen a whole bunch of Halloween creations using these dies, all of which put my efforts to shame. This page started with the dies, including the cauldron, cobweb, shelves and bottles, which I purchased because I wanted to do this scrapbooking page.
