Over at Bombshell stamps, it's time for our monthly blog hop...and it just HAPPENS to coincide with Halloween! Cool! So our hop mistress, Alison, tasked us with creating a Halloween project in nothing but black and white.
If you sauntered over here into Left Field from the UBER wicked Alex's blog, then you made it safe and sound. Did her raven, Edgar, peck at you? He's quite the cantankerous bird sometimes! Now, sit back...dim the lights...and read on if you dare... as you enter....
THE TORREY ZONE
***************************************************
The room is empty, except for a silhouette of a woman's profile projected onto the bare wall.
"Good ee-vening", she says in her best Alfred Hitchcock voice.
Lightning punctuates her greeting as the lights blink out in instant response and plunge the room into utter darkness.
Suddenly, an eery beam of light bathes the center of the room, like a spotlight caressing an empty stage, as a gathering of rattling beings (festooned in faded black tutus) emerge from the darkness and dance lithely, in unison, across the floor.
Ghostly organ music begins to waft its otherworldly whine. The melody...hauntingly familiar.
Is that Swan Lake?
Really?
Who knew skeletons knew ballet?
Who knew they wore tutus?
Yes, this IS the Dance Macabre.
MuA Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Thank you for hopping by! Now it's time to skitter over to the delightfully spooky Kelli's blog Be sure to leave treats (or tricks) along the way in the form of comments. And please play along with us and create a Black and White Halloweeny card!
Here is a complete blog list if you get lost or want to retrace your steps. It's much more effective than leaving bread crumbs.
