Welcome to the Hotel California....

Hello my friends!  We've got a new challenge at the FB group Mix Up That Song!  This month's song is Hotel California by The Eagles - make a mixed media project using it for your inspiration!

I did a vinyl record incorporating the line 'We are all just prisoners here...'

I wanted to try something different and wasn't sure it would work - but it did! While concentrating my heat gun in one area, I pressed a resin face piece into the underside a couple of times so it looks like they're trying to get out! And I used a small awl in a couple spots that looks like maybe some fingers trying to claw their way through. I added some ragged stenciling- maybe more scratches from the prisoners? - and tied everything up with rusty wire and a chain.

I also curled down the top edge - it's amazing what you can do when the vinyl is soft and pliable! 

I hope you'll join us for the challenge this month - maybe make a vinyl creation of your own!

I'm entering this at SanDee & Amelie's, Classic Design Team Challenge, and Dream in Darkness!
