Edgar Allan Poe Tunnel Shadow Box by Design Team Member Susan Killam!

I sooo love this little Poe shadowbox! Susan used small stacks of chipboard to provide depth between the layers of the 4×4 Arch Tunnel Book (there’s step-by-step photos on her blog post… and see the wider photo below for a work-in-progress that shows the depth).

And I’m happy to see another Halloween project (there are some dark prints in the Banner Year 6×6 Paper Pad, also in this month’s kit, along with the 4×4 tunnel book). There’s lots of different prints in that paper set, from florals to polka dots to sheet music (and a dark starry night, too).

Ok… on to text from Susan’s blog post:

The kit comes with great seasonal papers and timely sunflowers, but my 4×4 Arch Tunnel Book is a little darker with an Edgar Allan Poe theme. Hey, I’m a Baltimore girl and I can’t pass up a Poe project opportunity!

The design team will show you different ways to use the tunnel. I made mine into a shadow box.

To begin, I chose the center element first. The photo below shows how I rigged it up so I could see the chipboard layers and plan the elements. (Note to self: put wee lights in the next tunnel book.)

There are so many great motifs throughout Poe’s writing. Here I’ve included a raven, heart, cask, skull, and, of course, Lenore, all from Alpha Stamps collage sheets. There’s also a pendulum, eyes, premature burial, and doubles. Oh… if only I’d used the 6×6 Arch Tunnel Book!

Hey, I’m ready to encourage Susan to make another tunnel book! 🙂

Read more and see more photos in Susan’s blog post; plus here’s her full supply list. And don’t forget to come back to see the new goodies and that POE sale!
