The library where I started working last month is having a contest for their employees to create "art" to display during their fall reading program which features Edgar Allan Poe. Here's what I came up with. (The eye isn't really as big as it looks...it's a "jewel" that is reflecting in the flash of the camera).

The eye sets if off. You did a great job. I think Poe would be proud.
