I know this is a bit different for me, but I have to tell you it was soooo fun to make. I discovered the Octopode Factory images this weekend, and I totally love them. I love fantasy and horror stories, and a bunch of the images are from famous movies like Wizard of Oz, Pirates of the Carribbean, Alice in Wonderland, Lybrinth, Frankenstein, etc. That Lily is a wonderful artist. What fun!
This week's challenge at the Octopode Factory is to create something in shades of grey. If you are interested in checking out the images or playing in the challenge, here is the link:
I was also inspired by the challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow which is to make a Vintage, Shabby, or Primative creation depicting a vacation at the beach. Here is the link to to that challenge if you are interested:
