Dr. Raven’s Pandemonium Wagon by Laura Carson
Filed under Art Projects, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Laura Carson, Newsletters, Red Riding Hood Kit, Tim Holtz
Design Team Member Laura Carson has concocted a brilliantly silly backstory for her Dr. Raven’s Pandemonium (using 2 New and On Sale! items highlighted below):
Dr. Raven’s Pandemonium is one of the more popular attractions at the Halloween Carnival.
Mr. Yule B. Next, had an unfortunate accident at the Pandemonium this week. Dr. Raven thought that in light of the goulash condition of Mr. Next, perhaps he would fit right in at the “Dodge the Zombies” game.
I’ve only captured about a sixth of the full glory of Laura’s creation in the photo at far right. Be sure to visit her blog (and, of course! a tutorial) for more photos and fantasy, including:
a coachman with a pet gargoyle, who is sort of a nasty fellow, so the coachman keeps him in a glass dome; it’s the only way he can prevent him from biting people.
But don’t forget to return, as there’s a Dr. Raven’s Halloween Giveaway, with a ton of goodies picked out from Laura’s expansive Supply List.
