Riikka Kovasin - Paperiliitin: Danse Macabre

Hello! It's again Friday and time for a new process video! As with the previous Friday videos, you can watch the process video here (link) on my YouTube channel.

As you can see from the photos, this time I'm making an altered record. I was going to call it LP record, but my husband educated me that it's not a "long play" but instead a 7" vinyl. Like I tell in the video, it's something he brought home as a gift as it has Danse Macabre on it. We've been watching and re-watching Jonathan Creek episodes lately. It's a British mystery drama series, with a magicians assistant as a crime solver. A lot of locked room mysteries!

Because of the record, I still call the piece Danse Macabre, even though, to be honest, if I would depict "Dance of Death", it would be a bit different. This altered record has some elements that I would include, but others are missing from the "memento mori" representation - like a skull to depict the personification of death. Instead I went with my favorite color palette and continued with the theme I started in the last video - using up my stash and not just saving and hoarding stuff! In this case, it was those beautiful flowers I haven't had the heart to use before.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a wonderful weekend and hopefully some nice craft time, too. Don't forget the YouTube live tonight!
