The worship which is Love, and see no more...



There’s a simply stunning new release over at Simply B Stamps of Abigail Larson images and today I have a project featuring Hades and Persephone 2.


I’ve fussy cut my image and mounted it on some grungy paper and then picked a more nature inspired designer paper for my background, although it too is a bit on the grunge side.  I’m loving FabScraps for this feel to their paper as it works beautifully with these Steampunk images.  With the decided grunge feel to this project I am entering it in the current Crafting Musketeers’ challenge.

As I am more drawn to the Victorian era style Steampunk and Abigail dresses her ladies in that style I used crochet for the line elements of the Outlawz sketch I followed to make up my Kraft album page.  And being Steampunk I had to add metal embellies but cogs and gears weren’t going to match so I’ve gone for florals instead.  While the rest of the elements are quite cool toned I think the contrast to the warm copper tones on the chippie works well.

I think this image perfectly captures the essence of the Hades and Persephone story, I imagine this scene to be when Hades first encounters Persephone and falls in love with her.  It’s that moment of suspense as two lips almost meet that resonates with love.  So I am also entering this at the current Oozak challenge.
