Halloween Chunky



These are my pages for a Halloween Chunky that an on-line group, Fairies Elves Art is doing. We are each doing 2 pages. I decided to do a vintage page with the image of a lovely lady all decked out for Halloween. For the second page, I remembered that Harry Houdini died on Oct. 31 and that he told his wife that after he died, he'd try to contact her every year on that date. For 10 years, his widow held a seance, but Harry never showed. Although she stopped holding the seances after 10 years, groups of Houdini fans still hold the event. I thought his story would make an interesting and different Halloween page.

Altered Poker Chips


An on-line friend is hosting an altered poker chips swap. This is the first time I've done these. The hostess recommended covering the plastic chips with tissue paper or very lightweight papers. I used napkins and added the images and embellishments. They are a lot of fun to make, I think a "rope" of them would be fun to hang in my art room.
