Welcome to Quoth the Raven's Challenge #42 "Dream On". I had quiet a time with this one but in the end the Master's words gave me the answer. In the poem "The Raven" the line "And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming..." there is was! I took a humble pizza box bottom and lined with some papers from the "Once Upon a Time" stack that had fairies floating in the top edge. I used the image of Poe and the raven bust from Ike's Art with half of Poe's face being slightly zombiefied. Perfect for a bad dream, which I think the poor man had many. I colored the image with Chameleon pens, fussy cut, and glued to a business card folded to make a stand. I made four little books each with a title hand written of one of his works and placed a feather into a piece of polymer clay for a quill pen and stand. The other corner has a spool covered with paper with a lovely skull placed on top. The box has some nice texture features to it. I melted a brown crayon with my heat gun and went along the corners and where the papers joined. It splattered and ran some but I really liked the effect. I stamped some ravens on the background and then colored them with a black crayon after heating the stamped image...the color just glides on.. a little hard to control but again a nice effect. Red acrylic paint for eyes of course referencing the line from the poem. I took foil tape and ran it through my embossing folder then cut in to two pieces and after pulling the backing paper off I put on the edges of the pizza box. Then some brown acrylic paint rubbed on the embossed foil edge with my finger. And so my Poe dream box is made!
