ReplyDeleteWow Vicki! Your attention to detail is just incredible! I loved the Oxide stripes and lettering on the back as well as piling all the bones about. What an incredibly creative idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! Love the back of your coffin, the white paint on the bottles and bones, those skull tags, love it all!
ReplyDeleteI love what you do. My first thought of the "slot machine spins" was a nice little tribute to Vegas. Good on ya! My next thought was how much you love the carnival themes and all it's weirdness. I get it. I am part of your circus. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bone frame - just a wonderful detail amongst many wonderful details.
ReplyDeleteI like the coffin on wheels, and the small niche with skulls (nice aging job).
