Upon a Midnight Dreary is done

I’ve concluded that the recycle piece is done. I’ve decided not to stitch the raven’s head. 

So here’s the final photo.

“Upon a Midnight Dreary” made from plastic bags and thread

As always I’ve learned a lot while working on this piece. The main one is to get the plastics to behave better. Most of them in this piece are from shipments that I have received. They were pretty thick plastics with creases in them. It was hard to get them to lay flat. I suppose that just may be the nature of the beast. 

Next year the theme is Once Upon a Time. I have to start thinking about what to do for that. Any ideas? All I know is that it will be done in color instead of grayscale.

Thanks for reading.

  1. "Upon A Midnight Dreary" really came out beautifully, Christine. The grey scale is so perfect for this composition...I love how the background looks like fog on the moors...lovely interpretation...I hope you win for your entry...;)))
    "Once Upon A Time" (long long ago) could be the start of many a fairy tale or even the memories of the beginnings of Native American folklore--passed on from one generation to the next orally...
    lots of possibilities...I wonder what you will choose...;)))
    hugs, Julierose
