October's Halloween challenge for More Paper Than Shoes

"We don't want to be fairy and bright, we want to be scary and give them a fright"!

This is a collage I created using purple velvet ribbon, glittered wooden star, shabby sheet music  flower, vintage fairy twins (scanned from an old photo from my collection), aged sheet music background, paper moon and wooden bingo counters.

Alfred George Edward Keates; My Grandad

My Grandad died in November of last year, I had always been close to him and I was lost when he died. He had had cancer & been ill for quite a while. I will always remember his stories about his life & how he had been a prisoner of war. He loved gardening & had a lovely garden full of flowers and vegetables.

I decided to create a lasting tribute to his memory it's funny because he had always been a fan of mine and loved it when I made him personal cards for Birthdays and other occassions. He was so proud of me and was always telling his friends and anyone who would listen about my art.

I created four Altered cards from digital collages with photographs of my Grandad, vintage buttons, keys, paper butterflies and  feathers to be I then scanned my work and they were printed in his funerals order of service.
