Time...patience...

...and just the right materials.  Acquired this wood shadow box shaped like a house last fall.  When looking for something else, it resurfaced or rather moved to the top of the stack.  Over time it drew in many found objects, materials, and seemed to assemble itself.  Went from the thought of a Halloween theme to becoming a haunted house.  Complete with skeleton in the attic {no closet available...although that was given some thought}.  

Some notes on the "ingredients" -  

The winged figure and the small castle are game pieces.  The heart is a small vial embellished with metallic cross stitch threads and charms.  The bottles are filled with colored glass and topped with crystals.  Behind the castle is a transfer from a tour book made using matte decoupage fluid.  I did attach the shingles and then heat emboss to add texture and color.  And, included in the spells...is a martini....
