The Edgar Allan Poe image and the word "nevermore" are digital stamps from the Quoth the Raven set by Smeared Ink. The crown is a page from a damaged book that was cut with the Cricut machine, painted red and stamped with a chain link pattern stamp from Great Impressions. The wings are from a Tim Holtz clear stamp collection set. Once I assembled my Poe bust, I put it through the laminater to give it stability.
The images around the base of the block are from collage sheets. They have been decoupaged onto the block base. I added the Edgar Allan Poe quote "to elevate the soul, poetry is necessary" . The piece is embellished with black and red rhinestones, lace flowers that I painted black, striped ribbon yarn and black eyelash yarn.
Please leave me a comment about my Poe-etic assemblage piece and then hop and bop over to the next blog site which is

Wendy, this is a really cool Poe piece. I like all of the elements you've added to build and create such an interesting piece. That sentiment is so true, isn't it? Poe was sometimes a very "dark" poet. I think you have captured him perfectly with this piece... Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
