And we Danced by the light of the Moon ...

From Lake shore slips clear voices, sliding cross the morrow surface, and laughter chiming from the deep, the faintest bell of resonance....
Meet the latest of creations from Sierras Creations...Tiny little Merbaby...She is brand new only a few hours old..but, already her attention is alive and awake. This little baby is still developing, like a little tadpole in a few weeks she will be swimming and lea ring to develop her voice.
The above Merbabies are of a different family than the littest merbaby. They sure do sleep a lot!
This tiny Merbaby will be going to a swap from Pin doll Alley. She was delightful to make, but I will not do such a tiny one again, I will go to still a baby but a little more developed.
I have finished the journal but must wait till my camera is charged to take a few foots. Must not rush creativity.
Speaking of Journals, The Burn the Witch House Down Journal is Sold. It is in the post and on its way. I really had a great time with that one!
Might be another for the Halloween Season...who knows with me. The next journal will be for fall, September and to record your thoughts and dreams to come.
As always,
We Danced by the Light of the Moon ....

We tore Up .....

Well, we tore up paper....we guiled the torn pages with gold and gold paint ....What Next You ask? Last week on e:bay I was again lucky with a superior win. The above 4 Craft Books ..won for the mere sum of $7.99 $4.00 postage and they arrived this morning! Lucky Ducks!
In the Altered #103 On the very last page in a spot that you might miss I spotted this wording....How To Age A Page......I wanted to see what the pro said...after all she has written a book on it!

It stated to brush lemon on the edge of the torn page, get a heat tool...like you use for embossing of stamps...(that's cool too!) and heat till you see the results you want. Boy! was this easy and the look of the pages are far superior than some methods.


Here is shows the brushing of lemon juice and the tarnishing of the paper.

I went a little bit on and found that I had a green walnut ink in a little glass as I am seeing if I can give a page the look of "green" I wish the ink were like an Italian Sage Green .....might try a paint and see if this water mixture in the lemon will work?

I stopped from tidying my studio to play with this technique, well actually I had to tear everything down to find the embossing junk (bg) so decided to tidy it back up along with all the other items pulled down from the walls.

Still not finished with the walls and stuff, I believe this is a never ending story.

Well, off I go to try a new espresso. Hazelnut ...I still have one more can of cool whip and might get enough for a little oz or so...

As always,

And they danced to the light of the moon ...Sierra

Answer to...How Do You...

The answer to my question is being presented in the form of a journal and a tag book that holds all the steps for you to successfully burn the witch! The tag book is shown with four steps.....This tag book jpg. were a download from a wonderful site .....Seneca Pond Crafts.com
Eileen is the owner and creator of the tag book, the tickets,


This is the inside of the tag book with the 4 pockets and the tickets, candy,tea little glass bottle and the Match!
Tiny bottle of belladonna powder,
This is the back of the tag book. Really a nice Halloween presentation. Eileens site WWW.SenecaPondCrafts.Com has a ton of nice downloads and best of all is is a very nice person to deal with. Check out her web site, she also has a shop in esty. If, you decide you would like to make your own kit of How To Burn Down A Witch!
This is a picture of the instructions that if you follow step by step....you will have a success!
First their are 9 tickets to invite 9 of your friends to this adventure. HAve a fun Friday.
Also in the picture is a butterscotch hard candy....Witches and hags..go goofy over candy...So you will sure to win her over....then in the second pocket, you will find a beautiful Three leaves tea bag. Ask the old hag...Have You ever tasted this tea? It is a speciality of Hogs Wort....3 leaves tea..this is so, a delightful blend and a pretty color.
I bet she will grab the tea bag and run to the fire... Then in pocket number 3 is a small glass bottle of belladonna in a solid form....take this and put it into her tea cup...Not the pot....as then you get it too!
Next.....wait...and this is the really important bits....Do NOT Look in to her eyes....she will be going into a trance before the dirty deed is done....and if you look...then you get caught up in the drift and well....good buy to you .....
Next, the second most important item will be found in the 4th pocket....A Match! I know, I know....so simple. And I really got some glorious answers...especially the one about the mirrors and a beam to capture her energy...but that seemed like a real elaborate thing to consider...So a simple match for the house and you get the old hag too!


Then comes the record of proof.....In the journal that comes with the tag book...which the artwork is hand drawn, painted in watercolors and hand torn and gilded in gold, spider webs that run on each and every page.....gees, that was lots of work!....

A broom/pen with a black ribbon so that when you fly across the pages you have flair!

The back of this journal is also a hand done of a collection of cats....Oh, I forgot to say...Please take care and let out her Kat's....they are almost no knowledge of her affairs....or so they say, I will leave this up to you to decide...Again, do not look into their eyes.


You also have a seal at the right hand side of the journal to blame if things do not go as they should....Sierra....lol

This Village Journal is being offered to the blog for a week, if it is there it goes to Esty and stays here till someone wants to do the deed!

I am offering this to the blog for $39.99 plus $6.00 shipping in a fire proof envelope. Also, a hand written instructions are also presented.

If, you want a title page with your name and a blessing of a good year to come....2009 ...Just tell me at the time of purchase and it will be done.

Well, that's it. I know I have enjoyed this project more than most and I am sorry to see it finished. But, it is ever finished with only one evil, ugly, hags on the Internet and step sister in laws and gals that are always got their noses in your business. Who knows I might have another need for another journal...But I will sure to use another poison....change my MO. ....

As always, Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you,

Sierra
