"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!
