I chose to re-create a Ouija Board for our second NTNA Challenge. I was very inspired with a vision I had with the layout out of this project as a whole.
I wanted the nail tip to lay across the Planchette in a crescent fashion as if they were playing the game itself. This also set the back drop for a very Art Nouveau Ouija board. I tried to keep the rest of the art true to the actual game for the pictures tell the story. I also felt it was very important to include a set of the rules and instructions for there are only 3 and very basic.
BE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A GAME. Being in a serious mood ensures your natural psychic defenses are turned while you're talking to the dead. ...
ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE AT THE END. Mischievous or negative ghosts will refuse to say Goodbye. ...
NEVER USE THE OUIJA BOARD IN YOUR HOME.
I had so much fun creating my Ouija nails, now let's just hope they don't start moving around on their own!!
