Bijibou: Halloween Greetings...
http://bijibou.blogspot.com/2012/10/happy-halloween.html
Each heart has its haunted chamber,. Where the silent moonlight falls! On the floor are mysterious footsteps,. There are whispers along the walls! And mine at times is haunted. By phantoms of the Past. As motionless as shadows. By the silent moonlight cast. A form sits by the window,. That is not seen by day,. For as soon as the dawn approaches. It sits there in the moonlight. Itself as pale and still,. And points with its airy finger. Without before the window,. There stands a gloomy pine,.

With a little cardstock and some thread, I fashioned this mobile of woodland creatures - Rabbit, Squirrel, Frog, Mouse. If you're interested in seeing more of Arntz's work, the Gerd Arntz Web Archive. From the Museum of the Hague. Here are a few images to tempt you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
