in the Spooktacular Extravaganza! Feel free to make yourself nice
and comfy. Enjoy!
The story of Matilda is still quite unknown. Her spirit and
adventures, in my heart, they have grown.
Matilda was born many moons ago, others guessing her
age, a game she loves so. Young beauty before you, you see
in her eyes, she'll tell you her age and you'll be surprised.
At daylight her world is not what it seems, blinded by light,
she lives in her dreams. Enchanted by music, her song has no
bounds, the breeze brings her lyrics, sweet melodic sounds.
She lives in the moment, dancing everyday, a stormy sky above will
not stop her play. A worn out old painting, was hidden around, now
in my hands, since she can't be found.
The cracks in the painting, up close I can see, the age of this painting,
but that cannot be. Until there is more of Matilda's story to be learned,
I'll dance all day long, singing at every turn.
In the midst of my search of Matilda's life at every source, I did
get inspired with some creating... of course!
This is my Halloween Party Giveaway, for all of you to see. I created
my first Halloween mini album out of chipboard. I used a few altered
prints from my original paintings and went to town. This mini is filled
with mixed media including sweet and spooky embellishments.
Here is a slideshow of the complete mini.
Everyone has the chance to win this Halloween mini album, just leave me a comment in this post. The winner will be chosen using a random number generator.
Polls Close:
11:59 pm PST on Friday, October 22, 2010
Winner will be announced on Saturday, October 23rd.
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my party! Don't forget
to visit all the magical participants on the list here.
Also just in case you were a little more curious about Matilda,
her story does not give any evidence so far about her being a vampire.
But I thought I would play with her photo and make her into one
digitally.
Hugs,
Lisa :)
Your art is so beautiful! And I love the story of Matilda :)
