Last month's theme at the Sketchbook Challenge was "Cabinet of Curiosities." I loved the theme and made several Cabinets (check them out here and here). This one was laid out on my work desk all month, and I finally got around to finishing it. The background is painted with Golden acrylics, with some old text collaged in below my curiosities. the two items in the middle are copies of swap artwork I made. I took the photographs of the skull on the hand and the mixed face in a natural history museum. The antlered woman is from a fashion magazine (check out the spider on her neck) and the other curiosities are from purchased collage sheets. I'm posting this to Paint Party Friday. You can check out the other entries at this link. Which is your favorite curiosity?

Your collage turned out great! Very creative and interesting, as well as beautiful. I don't like spiders at all, but I like the skulls and the half face peeking out at the top. It's all good. I couldn't get very inspired with this theme for some reason.
I think the lady with the antlers? She's certainly curious!
The odd and unexplicable always has a sort of macabre but curious interest that draws us in. I love your cabinets, you have captured the theme perfectly, I think my favorite curiousity has to be the weird little creature with the butterfly wings. beautiful work
You are so multi-talented, Rinda!
Looks great!

The antlered woman is interesting. Happy PPF!
Very interesting and well coordinated collages! I think I have that stamp at the top center-it was an UM set I got some time ago.Happy PPF!
Wonderful collage! I always admire those who are good at them. Great job! Looks like it was a fun project too. Happy PPF!
Beautifully balanced collage -- that antlered woman is my favorite! Happy PPF!
beautiful collage!
what is it about bones that make such an interesting composition? the lines, the shading, the chill you get when seeing them?!? such a fun prompt.
It's a gorgeous collage, but I must admit I find some of the details rather creepy.
It's fabulous, very original and interesting, fun and weird! love it!
Yes- it's bizarre and curious.I love it! Not too sure about the skull in the hand - but I love the 'antler lady' x
I love how you varied the sizes with your swap work in the middle! Another great cabinet of curiosities! Happy PPF!
it looks so cool! very "DoD"
I love the piece on the bottom left that says 'mystery'!
Hi Rinda, what a fabulous final Cabinet of Curiosities collage. I really like your finer details with the different skulls and insects. Great piece! Andy
