Time for A Wicked Display~





Yesterday's sneak peek was the black cat panel of this Wicked tag display I created the other day.
I started out wanting to use the smaller sized Boo! panel that was leftover from the day I made the decorated clothespin.  It is much smaller in scale to the one on the clothespin.  It was just sitting there on my counter, looking at me, whispering in my ear to use it for something fun. :) I wasn't really sure where I was going to go when I began.

I was in a emotional funk the day I started this and really needed to escape into the world of creativity for a while.  Escape, I did, for 4 hours!  One thing led to another and I ended up with this fun and spooky display piece for Halloween.

Starting tomorrow I will be posting closeups of the tags with brief instructions on how I created each one, and how they come together into a display that now sits on a shelf in my living room.  As I was creating on the fly and didn't write anything down, a bit of reverse engineering is necessary.

ETA Thursday 10/11/12 
After spending quite a bit of time yesterday detailing the first 2 tags and how they were made, there were 5, count 'em, 5 visits to the page yesterday and no comments, so I am not sure it is something that is wanted or needed.  I have reverted it to draft format so it doesn't  appear any longer as it makes no sense to have them remain published.
