Not only is red my favourite colour (alongside black) but ruby is my favourite hue of red, so of course, when I signed up for the Hues of Oz challenge, the ruby slippers were my inspiration. Instead of ruby slippers and a little dog named Toto in the land of Oz though, I've created a little cat named Ruby in a graveyard... as is my wont. ;)
If you head on over to Olde Baggs N Stuffed Shirts blog you can hobnob with our wonderful Celebration of Oz hostess, Oma Linda, and the other Hues of Oz participants.
Whilst you're mingling, you may run into the spooktacular Holly, of Holly's Horrorland. Holly hosted a red themed creative challenge earlier this week and I had been busy working on a little doll in red that I was very excited about (Hint: Her name is Lydia.), but alas, just as she was almost finished, a careless slip of the Quickunpic resulted in me inadvertently and tragically eviscerating her.
Much colourful language and a slew of self-pitying, melodramatic declarations followed in the wake of this calamitous event. Dolly requires a complete body transplant, which requires much disassembly and reassembly, and as I just didn't have time to finish her this week, I'm cheating and having Ruby stand in for both challenges. So, after attending the Hues of Oz gathering, hop over to Holly's March Creative Challenge and keep the festivities going.
