Welcome fellow Poe followers! This month at Quoth the Raven Challenge blog our theme is "For the Love of Poe ( something Valentines or one of his lady loves). In reading about the Master's life, I have discovered he loved deeply but with much tragedy in his love. From his mother's death to his beloved wife Virginia's death, both due to tuberculosis, he wrote from both great love and great despair. The above quote is from his poem titled "To _____ ________ _______" as the title suggests their were many prior to and after Virginia's death in his life.
I have used once again one of Ike's Art's fabulous images "Elenore" colored with Promarkers and Distress Markers then fussy cut and popped on some foam dots to stick out from the Cricut frame. Another Poe fact is that he lived most of his life in poverty, I am an avid re-user of things most folks throw away.....so Poe and I may share a hoarding of useful stuff in common. Don't quote me on that...just saying maybe:) I used a black styrofoam meat tray as my frame for the scene. I used a strip of acetate to pop the frame up from the back and my Cricut went to work! I cut out the grave scene, the 2 tombstones, and the candle out of brown, tan, green, and red papers and layering. I used Photoshop to edit the text onto a piece of black and white paper with light script running across it. I inked everything, everything with black ink. I inked both sides of the sentiment and curled the ends. The grave scene and tombstones were attached to a strip of acetate and glued to the front edge of the meat tray. Then all I had to do was adhere the candle to the sides and the text to the top of the frame.
Come on over to Quoth the Raven and tell your friends...see who can gain the Master's nod of approval! We look forward to seeing all of your fabulous work!
Happy Crafting and Happy Valentine's Day!
