SPA: bats
it is after midnight, and i´m posting my new contribution for SPA:
I’m Dracula.
I’m undead.
You can run, but you can’t hide any more, ‘cause I’m casting my curse!
I’m Dracula.
I’m evil.
And I never do a thing that’s bad if I can do it worse. these are lyrics from a theatre/musical performance from pantomusicals.uk, where i also found the poster with the bats. i layered it with a texture from shadowhouse creations (black magick) and used the font cramps.

take a word: childhood
i found this postcard on a flea market a while ago. the backside tells me the photo was taken by aglaia risch, 1984 in belgium. i started a google research, but could not find out more about this photographer…
background by cosmo cricket, clover stamps by carina gardner, tape tizzape, font pie sugar noodles.

can there be a more precious gold than the one nature provides these days?
for the new showcase at PAF i used bonnie´s grunge-surprise-texture, one free ttv frame from flickr (photo partly erased via layer mask) and font is the blue cabin.
texture from nancy donaldson
last week nancy donaldson provided an encaustic looking texture for use in photo editing. i instantly fell in love with this and finally found the time to play on some of my pics… it is so addicting!!
thank you so much, nancy – and i hope you enjoy these altered photos…
