"7 Gates to Purgatory" by moi...Leigh S-B

I'm kicking off the proceedings with my altered wooden container that was a match made in Heaven Hell to feature our New Release Stamp, RIP!  The geometric sides of the container are actually coffin shaped and it has seven sides so I could not resist the Seven Deadly Sins theme.  All the text was computer generated and coloured with a metallic gold gel pen.
The votive candle glow represents the Cleansing Fire of Purification
Here it is in all it's colourful crackled glory with skull beads for feet
Seven Deadly Sins:  Envy, Gluttony and Lust
Seven Deadly Sins:  Wrath, Sloth, Greed and Pride
Lost Coast Portal to Creativity is also proud to be a CRYPT KEEPER again this year!

We hope you'll Stay and Play and leave us lots of love each day!
See you again tomorrow!
Happy Hopping!
