SciFi and Fantasy Art: Bluebells II

Bluebells are a faery flower. I believe it is said that to hear them ring is to hear your own death approaching. I thought that was an interesting little bit of information, and so I decided to illustrate it. Skull and Crossbones? Nope. Skull and Bluebells. The antelope horn bits are added bonuses because they're skeletal and they just look neat. This is also a print, though it's pulled from a line etching. The picture is drawn, with a needle, into a ground (waxy stuff) on a zinc plate, then you pop that baby (carefully, of course =>) into a tub (a little one) of acid. Acid, ink, paper, and metal. Could it possibly get any more fun? I didn't run the little idea of death and this partic. flower into the ground did I? Is it creepy at all?
