  • Prairie Kittin

    Let's do spooky mail art all year!
  • Alana Schlotter

    I agree let's do spooky art at all times of the year not just around Halloween.

  • Terry Owenby

    Spooky mail art year round sounds like a great idea to me. After all, the group's name includes Gothic and Horror as well as Halloween. :-)

  • Alana Schlotter

  • Jorgia Jacobs

    Am I seriously the 13th member?! Hmmm... I must make something super creepy to celebrate!

  • Alana Schlotter

    Congratulations on being the 13th member! Yes you should make something super creepy!

  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    Challenge accepted, as number 13. What else could we do. How about joining Jorgia. The thirteenth member, legs, arms, teeth will be all to celebrate JJ and use the theme 13, remember it was the 13 th fairy that didn't get an invite, who put sleeping beauty to sleep. No, JJ. I am not suggesting you are a fairy, gnome or pixie, whizz hard (sorry) or such like. Humour can be creepy too! Are we all up for a challenge, send in our work by the 13 th Of March or April. What do you all think?
  • Jorgia Jacobs

    Yes, yes Lorinna! April is my birthday month so I would say let's have it due by then but whatever works for everyone else :) 

  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    What do the other 11 think. Aires the ram is the symbol for that month if anyone is lost for a topic! Has gothic implications. This is an bit funny because I thought that gothic was about medieval architecture, whoops who is a dill. But can go along with this.
  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    The gremlin in the/my iPad could provide a theme! The wretched monster keeps changing my spelling!!!
  • Alana Schlotter

    I just thought Jorgia that it would have been really cool if you had joined as the 13th member on a Friday the 13th....

  • Jorgia Jacobs

    Fun Halloween intro packages are ready to mail! Awaiting 3 mailing addresses (PJ Matilda, res nullius, & Lorinna please check your messages/e-mail!) and then I'll send them out. Excited to get to know each other :)
  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    To me gothic is art/architecture and literature. What an old fodder Diddy, I put a creeopy crawly in the garde n the morning, feed craw lies to my fish lol
  • Alana Schlotter

    Lorinna, I sent something creepy last week as part of a mass mailout but I can't remember if I sent it to someone in this group or not.  So I will come up with something else that is creepy/crawly/halloween or gothic in inspiration.  As for the gothic thing it can be about medieval architecture as well, why not?

  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    My address is 50b Milroy Street,
    East Brighton 3187
    Australia
  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    That was for Jorgia who wanted it.
  • Jorgia Jacobs

    Thanks Lorinna!
  • Alana Schlotter

    Was very much in the mood to create something maybe a little 'darker' than what I normally do... Here is the result: 

  • Lorinna Denise Hastings

    Your drawing is excellent, full of atmosphere, do you know the drawings of Violette Le Duc., he specialised in this period and his drawings are brilliant. I also enjoy the Victorian gothic.
  • Alana Schlotter

    Thanks for the link Crayze Johnson, it was an interesting read and great to see the artwork!

  • Alana Schlotter

    Lorinna, unfortunately it is not me drawing that,if that is what you mean, I only wish! I found the picture in a magazine that I was going through and ripped it out! No I don't know the drawings of Violette Le Duc, but I will investigate further to learn more.

  • Terry Owenby

    Thank you for the link, Crayze Johnson. Your artwork is fabulous!
