Tante altre volte mi sono fatta ispirare dal cinema, oggi ho voluto ispirarmi alla letteratura. Sono amante di una certa letteratura che io chiamo dark perchè non so davvero classificarla, che comprende autori come Edgar Allan Poe, alcuni autori fantasy ( Tanith Lee la mia preferita!), H.P. Lovecraft e anche Oscar Wilde per certi versi ! All'interno di questi autori H.P.Lovecraft è indubbiamente uno di quelli che favorisco per le atmosfere che sa creare e il racconto Medusa's coil tradotto in italiano con il titolo "Nelle spire di Medusa" mi ha sempre affascinato anche per i richiami alla mitologia greca ( le tre Gorgoni....) e quindi ecco cosa è uscito dalle mie mani pensando a questo racconto così inquietante.
Many other times I was inspired by the movies, today I was inspired by literature. I am a lover of literature I call dark because I can not really able to classify it, which includes authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, a few fantasy authors (Tanith Lee's my favorite!), H. P. Lovecraft and also Oscar Wilde in some ways! Within these authors HPLovecraft is undoubtedly one of those that I favor for the atmospheres that he knows how to create and the story Medusa's coil translated into Italian with the title "Nelle spire di Medusa" has always fascinated me also for the references to Greek mythology (the three Gorgons ....) and so here's what came out of my hands thinking of this story so creepy.
Il set Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sea Life è perfetto con i tentacoli della splendida piovra e vi faccio una confessione: spero tantissimo che Sizzix decida di produrre le fustelle abbinate perchè ritagliare la piovra non è proprio semplicissimo... ma da vecchia seguace del decoupage ovviamente non mi sono arresa! Ovviamente per il personaggio centrale sono andata a crecare tra i bellissimo volti del nuovo set di Found Relatives e questa bambina con i capelli lunghi legati da un lato mi ha subito affascinato!
Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sea Life set is perfect with the tentacles of the beautiful octopus and I make a confession: I hope very much that Sizzix decides to produce the matched dies because cutting the octopus is not really simple ... but an old follower of the decoupage as me obviously does not give up! For the central character I went to look for the beautiful faces of the new Found Relatives pack and this little girl with long hair tied on one side immediately fascinated me!
In breve i passaggi: ho iniziato preparando lo sfondo della tag usando Distress Oxide in 4 colori, timbrando ai lati sempre con Sea life set e coprendo con Collage medium Ranger. Lo stesso procedimento per preparare lo sfondo su cui timbrare i tentacoli ovviamente con altri colori!
La cornice al centro è stata alterata con Texture paste e Mosaic stencil che ho poi colorato con Distress Oxide Antique Linen, uno spruzzo di Mica spray Tarnished brass e due Distress crayon metallizzati.
These are the main steps: I started by preparing the background of the tag using Distress Oxide in 4 colors, stamping the sides with Sea life set and covering with Collage medium Ranger. The same method of preparing with other colors to create the tentacles!
The frame in the center was altered with Texture paste and Mosaic stencil which I then colored with Distress Oxide Antique Linen, a little bit of Tarnished brass Mica spray and two Distress crayon metallics.
Spero vi sia piaciuta!
Hope you like it!

Stupefacente combinazione di colori, materiali e creatività. Lo sfondo mosaico sembra di zucchero e i tentacoli sono davvero incredibili. E' l'ennesimo capolavoro Barbara, complimenti.
Fabulous tag Barbara! Medusa is pretty scary with all of those snakes! what a brilliant idea to use the octopus!! GENIUS! :-) the textured background and colours are gorgeous and I love the die cut nameplate too! :-)
luv

Outstanding creativity! Marvelous texture and fussy cutting. Beautiful tag!

SO beautiful! I love the ambient of this panel, such a misterious and deep. I don't know this story but I am sure it's interesting and very original. They should have ask you to design the cover. Your octopus is so pretty! Hugs, Marzena
Questa è una Tag MERAVIGLIOSA. Quando l'ho vista nelle anteprime ho detto "cazzarola Yaya ha proprio superato se stessa".
E' splendida e la paper doll che hai usato è PERFETTA per il ruolo! Ha quello sguardo nel vuoto e fisso quasi inquietante! E' perfetta!
Brava Yaya sei un pozzo d'idee!
Barbara, I can think of nothing more to say, other than this is a stunning piece of work - I love it and the way you interpreted the theme! Hugs, Anne xx
So awesome Barbara! I LOVE the tentacles are her hair! Wonderful texture too, and just love every detail!
This piece WOWs me each time I see it Barbara! What an awesome idea to use the octopus tentacles for Medusa tendrils, I am in full support of request for a coordinated die, I too love this stamp and know the difficulty of fussy cutting it! The layers and colors are such a perfect combination. Gorgeous!
Wow!! You encapsulated the theme PERFECTLY! Perfectly creepy and COOL! :D
*mwah*

Simon Says Stamp!
What a great project! And I loved your inspiration! I am such a mythology nerd, so I really liked the Medusa references. You always have such a fabulous imagination and this really brought the story to life!
Oh, wow! This is so cool, Barbara! I love how you took the octopus and made it into the Medusa's snakes around the girl! I agree with you on the difficulty of cutting them out! Awesome mix of blues and rust, and love how you took the Medusa to sea! xx Maura

This is fantastic Barbara! Such clever use of the octopus and all the details and colours are wonderful. I too did decoupage and a lot of detailed cutting in the past. Hugs!
Barbara, this has to be one of my favorite projects! What a clever idea to use the octopus tentacles for Medusa. Just SPECTACULAR.
Love love love the beautiful texture and colors you created on this piece, Barbara. Great interpretation on this challenge. :)
