I'm very pleased to inform you that this term we've increased our family of columnists to bring you even more great art and ideas. To meet these wonderful new additions to the Unruly team, please go HERE.
This month I opted to make a sample for our Reader Art Quest rather than write a column. The Dark of Night prompt has put me in the mood for all things eerie. I just love spooky, Halloween art projects. How some of the Unrulies interpreted this theme, the challenge details, and where to link up your entry can all be found HERE. This month's RAQ is sponsored by Eyelet Outlet and Brads. I was given the owl brads to play with and thought they'd look great perched on a tree in the dark of night.
Here is the September prompt:

Helene...your altered canvas is fabulous! Love the background, the stamp and especially the owl brads. How cool are those!
What a fabulously spooky yet elegant piece! I love how you created that misty foggy Halloween vibe with the techniques that you used. I also liked how you repeated the owl images. The texture of the tree is fantastic, too! Great work on this and I'm so glad that you shared it with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
