51/52 Christmas twirl

Seasons Greetings: This Happy Holidays twirl started out as a Christmas wreath I purchased to hang on my front door.

Photo of the Week series: Every Sunday in 2012 I will either share a photo from my archives or something new I just can’t wait to get feedback on for future art shows/exhibits.

Blogger participation: My hope is to receive enough input on each week’s photo to later post a Bloggers’ Choice of the Month and wrap up 2012 with a Bloggers’ Choice of the Year.

Frightmare Friday 3/3

This haunted castle has an eerie presence – even in daylight. Notice the broken police tape. Was it caused by someone trying to enter or someTHING trying to get out! Did something horrific happened in the turret room. I didn’t dare peek inside! I did check all the windows just to see if a pair of eyes was staring back at me.

In reality, the house on the property has been vacant for some time and the tape is to warn passersby to the unsafe condition of the barn/carriage house (see original in gallery).

Again, I must credit picmonkey.com for inspiring my trilogy of terror photo illustrations.

The greeting card is one of my Twirls that started out last fall as a real pumpkin.

My best friend’s semi actually has flames down its side, which sparked the idea to turn it into something more satanic!
