Took us weeks of deciding, creating mock-up covers to mull over. In the end, it was between two gorgeous images: that of the striking Day of the Dead lady, or the eccentric red-haired sorceress - both of whom are absolutely stunning in all their own merits. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #01ffff; font-size: x-large;"><span>So we decided, why not do both?</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #01ffff; font-size: x-large;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #01ffff;"><span> </span><br /><span>As always, the magazine will be available in two versions; digital and printed.</span></span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: white; font-size: x-large;"><b><span>Digital available: Monday, September 4. </span><br /><span>Printed available on: </span><span>Friday, September 8.</span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Links to ordering either version are here, to the left of this post (for Printed, click on the Etsy button; for Digital, click on the kitty cats). </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"> </span><br /><span><span style="color: #01ffff;">Copies of this issue, as well as back issues, will be available at the</span> <span style="color: #ffd966;">Bewitching Peddlers of Halloween</span> <span style="color: #01ffff;">show in Marshall, Michigan, on September 30th.</span></span><br /><a class="x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7" href="http://www.bewitchingpeddlersofhalloween.com/"><span>http://www.bewitchingpeddlersofhalloween.com/</span></a><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: x-large;">In addition to our friend Dustin, we're thrilled to present a who's who of world-class artists, all of whom filled this fabulous issue out in the most amazing way with their incredible artistry! </span></p><p><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><i>The deepest and most sincere loving thanks are in order to all of our participating artists!</i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpRZH-MWB-28zuQ6i6r9ordadgU4RRzZAaknEUTSBzYv3tWA-3LHUXA_RXZEr4Ws6LJkH6eetopk3zmXr7xypv5aRpSRDNMCYcFT9tOX-8__HfqR40WeniTxy_CBwuCQAM-8c9jeZLOL6fn-LLggcVdlhog3f3K5wCjZLSAboClWRNOmSEDnJpQ9RSclGA/s1500/AB%20thank%20you%20to%20Artists%202023%20KEEP.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1160" height="1038" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpRZH-MWB-28zuQ6i6r9ordadgU4RRzZAaknEUTSBzYv3tWA-3LHUXA_RXZEr4Ws6LJkH6eetopk3zmXr7xypv5aRpSRDNMCYcFT9tOX-8__HfqR40WeniTxy_CBwuCQAM-8c9jeZLOL6fn-LLggcVdlhog3f3K5wCjZLSAboClWRNOmSEDnJpQ9RSclGA/w777-h1038/AB%20thank%20you%20to%20Artists%202023%20KEEP.png" width="777" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffa400; font-family: Vampiro One; font-size: x-large;">Happy Halloween, everyone!</span></p><p><span style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: x-large;"> <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
