Outside My Comfort Zone

For this week I decided to create a much different pinch bag. I recently joined a blog group who adheres to Edgar Allen Poe's work. The blog is titled Quoth The Raven Nevermore. Because I joined, I felt I had to try and do something that recognized the author Poe.

Here's what I came up with.




I apologize for my photographing technique. It's late but I wanted to show how the bag looks like after being constructed.

Below is the actual bag itself. It has been saved as a JPG.



The graphics used are from Ikesart. Ike is a friend whose talent goes way beyond the pale. I have seen her do macabre art, along with cute stuff that is filled with sweetness and light. GRIN.

Go check out her blog site. Ike's World.

Until next time...Happy Crafting.

      A pinch bag is a small gift bag that is pinched together at the top and sealed with Velcro. Normally, I put small candies, toys, or surprise items in my bags. I'm thinking Black and Red liquorish would be awesome inside my Poe bag.
