Ogden Was Bent On Mischief


Oops! I know I said that yesterday's post was the final Halloween one, but I forgot about Ogden. He's a Victorian engraving from The Chatterbox magazine and is one of the many illustrations of chubby-cheeked children from that era that creep me out. I can't explain why. Even minus the mask, he disturbs me. So, what better image for a Halloween collage?

I added the color to his cheeks and lips, and now that I'm looking on it on the computer screen, well, I may go back in and add some color to the mask. The text is from a holiday crafts book and the smidgen of orange is from a recycled book proof. 4.75" x 4.75" on archival mat board. It is matted to fit a standard 9"x9" frame. $55 + $7 shipping & handling.
