Ghost Bride. left at the altar..
Ms. Ima Strange, the Ghost Bride...
The 39th in a series of OOAK un-"Natural" creations from the dArK cobwebbed filled hemisphere of my brain.
Yes, we have all heard the tales of woe, women left standing at the altar, wondering where he is, why he wasn't waiting,
watching as she walked down the aisle. Such was the case decades ago for our beautiful ghost bride.
She died that day, right there in front of all her family and friends of a broken heart. Little did she know that her one
true love was on his way to their impending union when his horse got spooked and he fell to the ground, hitting his head
on a rock and suffering amnesia. He truly did love her with all of his heart, but he never regained his memory and she
never knew the truth. SO, eternally she waits in her uncle Edgar's parlour, hoping her beloved will walk through the door.
The wooden shadow box measures, 7 x 7 inches and 2 inches in depth. It is painted black with a hint of copper. On the
wall of the "parlour" is a copper frame which contains the image of her favorite uncle. Ima measures about 5 3/4 inches
tall and her "bones" are formed of a plastic type material, with a nice touch of age added. She is still wearing her lovely,
but aged wedding dress and holding a lone flower, what's left of her beautiful wedding bouquet. Shadowbox [Sold: April 5, 2007] |
