So as I said in my last posts my goal for this weeks project was to create a nice little gothy bedroom scene complete with books, potions and other magic supplies that one might need to cast a spell. Unfortunetly the only thing I ran out of time completing was a magic book.
First I started with gathering up some bottles and what not that I had collected specifically to start on this project quite a while ago. Then I printed out some tiny labels that I felt any one who is casting spells may have sitting upon their shelf.
Next placing all the labels on individual bottles. As you can see in the photo below I found a few more bottles laying around to add labels to...
Now that the bottles are all labeled, the fun part of filling them with random objects that would work with what the label shows...
(Items not shown below in close ups are Rare Spider Legs- made of black pipe cleaners, Witches Secret Elixir- simple water with green food color, Eye of Newt- added this one at the last minute when I saw a small bottle of hand sanitizer. The Belladonna is actually just an empty bottle that I didn't bother to fill since the glass was colored.)
How about a closer look at the rest and an explanation of what really is in those bottles and containers....
Wool of bat-cotton balls, though I had thought about using some type of black fuzzy stuff. Howlet's Wing-obviously the first thing I thought of was tiny bird feathers. Tooth of Dragon- at first I was going to skip this and use another label, but then I remember my doggies puppy teeth I still had..lol..who thought they would come in handy some day. Baboon's Blood- Taco sauce. Hemlock Root- Just went out into the front yard and pulled up some clover roots..lol.
Dried Beetle Arsenic- what else than chilli powder..lol..hot enough to burn your insides. Tubeworm Powder- a little garlic powder and thyme. Shrivel-Figg- Golden Raisins. And last but not least Armadillo Bile- Italian herbed dressing.
All the items set up in the bedroom scene. We have a bed that I created from a shoe box, padding, a panne velvet pillow and brocade bed spread. The top right photo in the collage is a photo of the table top and shelf, all the bottles lined up and ready to go for some mischief. Bottom right photo a little black rat in a cage full of shredded newspaper.
And the scene is complete...Now off to do the photostory....
A little sneak peak with all the characters that will be making an appearance in the photostory :
"Potion Gone Wrong"...
For those on DOA here is a link to the photostory "Potion Gone Wrong". For others stay tuned until I am able to get them uploaded here on my blogger or other open/public site. Thank you again for stopping in and taking a look at my completed project. See you next week.
