Hello Everyone!
Welcome to my Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop!
Recently the Mayor of Baltimore declared Poe's birthday, January 19, an official city-wide Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Day so I decided to celebrate with an impromptu blog hop! The hop starts today and because it's spur of the moment this will be a progressive hop spanning over the next 5 days and you can join the hop at any time, no need to sign up! You have until midnight PST on January 23 to join the fun!
Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda are sponsoring this hop, but ALL stamps of Poe and related imagery by other companies can be used, and one participating blog will be randomly selected to win a $10 gift certificate to spend at LCD/CV! For all the info on how to join in the hop please click HERE!
Today I'm sharing a handwritten and rubber stamp illustrated poem by Edgar Allan Poe
"A Dream Within A Dream"
Awarded Top 3 at Quoth the Raven Challenge blog
I stamped Poe from Carmen's Veranda onto watercolour paper with a combination of Black Soot and Tea Dye Distress Inks and created a watercolour painting using a water brush. Once dry I added the journaling segments using Lost Coast Designs large journaling stencil and applied Tea Dye and Black Soot Distress Inks with an foam ink applicator. I hand wrote the poem with a black Micron pen and added white details with white acrylic paint. I trimmed the painting and distressed the edges with Tim's Paper Distresser tool before layering it onto black and brown cardstocks and then framed it. My Poe Living Dead doll and his Raven are pleased with it I think, LOL :0)
Thanks for visiting with me today and I hope you will enjoy my Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop! We will do this again next year so mark your calendars ;0) Now off you hop to the next project in the Inlinkz Collection below and don't forget to comment each day for the chance to win that $10 LCD/CV spending spree!
I now submit my offering to
