Cool!

Great Job. I love it.

OOOHHHH, I really like that!

Beautiful! The sky fabric is perfect. Great job and very creative.

WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! Love it!

WOW!! That would be a great idea for my classroom!! :shock: May I borrow (aka steal) it? ;) I could make several of them of the different classical books my students read during the school year. Wait!!! I could have them design the wallhangings themselves!!! Yep!! I like that idea!! :thumbup:

Cool!

Impressive! Love your work of art!

Wow! Nice!

Steal away!!!! All I did was go online to free clipart and searched for "raven" and "scary tree". The pictures were too small so I took them to OfficeMax to have them enlarged to the size I wanted. I traced the picture onto "Heat N Bond" paperback adhesive and then had fun. The best part was finding the "ominous sky" and "scary tree" fabric. If you do make anything or have your students make them, please post pictures....I'd love to see them!

:)

That is amazing! I love it.. nicely depicts "The Raven"

creepy scary & wonderful! : )

Nice! I love it!

I just think that is so neat. Love it

Oh how fun! I love your wallhanging. Very cool!

I have to tell you all about ashley poe. She is my best friend's granddaughter, and decendent to the late edgar allan poe. Her mother was murdered when she was only six. She lives with her aunt now.

But, she wrote a small book about losing her mother and the feelings she was experiancing. She won national reccognition and it was published in a small quantity. So, the family does have persons who have talent. Who knows what she will write in the future?

What a shame about your bestfriend's DGD losing her mother violently at such a young age. How old was she when she wrote the book? Looks like writing runs in the family. It will be interesting to see if she does take up writing as a career in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for responding to my story. Yes it was a year after her mom was killed, so she was seven. She is a real beauty too! She looks just like her mom with ice blue eyes and almost black hair with porcelan skin. She makes straight A's in school and I think she will do well if she goes into anything. That whole family is talented but there is lots of tragic stories about the family. Her dad committed suicide!

You are so clever! Nice wall hanging.

Great idea to demonstrate a certain author in a library. And great job on the quilt!

I think you did a great job in representing the raven. What a wonderful wall hanging.

Oh, how strikingly eery! And very creative!

It is wonderful and even if the name of the book was not on it, I would have known right away. The jewel for the eye says it all. Way to go. Hope you win.

That is really a nice project. Good creative eye you have there.

Absolutely amazing!!!!

Awesome. It will be perfect for the library's display.

Wow, I'm impressed.

Its awesome.

A very amazing visual to the story. Will make a good impression on the kids and the adults

Great job!

Very nice and "Poe..ish". A definite mood setter..

How clever. That is a great piece.

Great work!! Very creative! Really sets the mood!

Your quilt really does a good job of conjuring up the feeling one gets at readind The Raven. I would be interested to see what other contestants come up with. If you can, post pictures, although I already know who's going to win---and well deserved. You did a great job. In fact, you've given me an idea and I think I will pose this to my book club: that we each do an art project representing our favorite book we read this year. We have 12 to pick from! Thanks for the inspiration.

So so nice

The jewel eye is perfect!

Love it! One of my favorite poems. Perfect for it! :thumbup:

The Raven wall hanging is super neat. I can hear the actor Vincent Price reading to the poem to Stephen King.

Love it....so appropriate.

I am from Maryland. Every birthday of Edgar Allen Poe, someone left roses and a bottle of alcohol at his gravesite in Baltimore. Also our football team is the Baltimore Ravens.
