Spring Botanical Journal flip through!

I love altering vintage book covers and up cycling them for their next life.

The cover is collaged with a freebie Stampington magazine paper, a thrifted doily and a super special piece of patterned fabric from my pen pal in New Zealand 💕🎨

A little outside my usual colour palette comfort zone, but that’s a good place to be 😉

Ok, it's over. I'm good again. We will now return to regluar random blogging untinged by nostalgia.

Final thoughts for my own files:

Charles lives. \o/

There could have been more of Charles, but then there can always be more of Charles. But at least he lives and so now I can sleep peacefully again.

The Metalocalypse according to Knubbler: "Fuckers will be dying and shit."

Pickles is Mom confirmed.

Skwisgaar's role in the band is Guitar God. Toki's role in the band is "sunshine rainbow marshmallow man".

Murderface's role in the band is to suck (affectionate).

Nathan is going to only have sex with music from now on (and drink respect women juice)

They brought back the chef for the final battle. :DDD

For a character as silly as Knubbler, they managed to give his death a lot of weight.

The way they handled Abigail was good. Abigail is so good because she's so normal in a way that no other recurring character is. Also, she's the only important female character in the entire franchise apart from the whale and there was so much fandom drama about her back in the day, that I'm geniunly glad not only didn't they fuck her up, they even pissed over all that drama in a single scene of dialogue.

Speaking of the whale: I'm glad she actually did something, because I've always loved having this character that's literally a whale but also somehow a doomsday prophet, in a show that doesn't have any other animal characters. She was bizarre in a show that is bizarre. But I didn't need her to be the one to kill Salacia. Let the main characters do that, maybe? Now it looks like all that was needed for the show to be over was for someone give Salacia a little push while he was talking a stroll on the beach.

Everybody has PTSD and that never gets explicitly addressed and that's fair, this is not the kind of show for that, but it's all there in the behaviour (Toki's age regression, Skwisgaar's touch aversion).

They managed to put some good character moments in there, my favourite being Nathan pointing out "Magnus never gave us a chance to forgive him".

Still thinking about how Brendon Small once said about Doomstar Requiem that Mangus' death was supposed to be reminiscent of Judas' suicide in Jesus Christ Superstar, who was forgiven.

I have never liked Dr Rockzo, but "Toki is doing bad, so let's have Dr Rockzo here to cheer him up" is a thought Charles would have and it's the only acceptable explanation for why he would allow the clown in his church.

When Orlaag mentioned "Krakish" I was hoping we'd see some cool looking monsters like the Troll from season one, but Salacia's monster form was actually kinda boring. :((((

Spaking of Orlaag:

me: *never really cared about Orlaag one way or another*. Orlaag: I will bathe in his blood. me: 🔪🔪🔪

And right when I thought there had been surprisingly little gore, Orlaag got turned into paste. :DDDD

Other characters take their suit off to fight. Charles is built differently.

The opening was so meta what with "it's been so long and this is what you give us?", and that's fair.

On that note: The special retreads familiar themes (the power of friendship, found family, the FANS, etc. etc. etc.), there are no surprises, but, eh, I didn't expect anything else. All open plot threads get (re)addressed and tied off. I would have wanted there to be more time for general silliness, but given that this one special is all they got to finish the story, I'm happy they managed to do as much as they did.

There was a time during the 10 1/2 years since Doomstar Requiem that I thought "it's better for this to not have an ending at all than for the ending to suck" and this was definitely not that. I wasn't blown away by the special, but that's okay. There were things the special didn't do that it could have done, but the things it did do were fine.

The subtitles are consistently weirdly inaccurate when identifying who's speaking. Salacia is referred to as MMA (who isn't even in this special), Orlaag (or was it Stampington) is referred to as Salacia, the cultist holding the sermon in the church during Ishnifus' funeral is referred to as Charles. The one that threw me the most, however, was Murderface being referred to as William. This isn't technically wrong, but it feels wrong.

There are some days when tidying the studio just feels so good. With so many projects in the works it’s easy to get lost in the sweet chaos of the messes these days. There used to be a time when I couldn’t walk away from a mess like that, so it feels good to take a step back and not let it consume me. I still like things tidy but it no longer consumes me. I guess that’s why it feels so good when I finally reclaim my space and reorder things.

#LOMO STUDIO HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY HOW TO#

This next necklace was designed to wear alone or with a layer of other necklaces. An old watch face, vintage buttons, keshi pearls, rhinestone earrings, brass stampings, silk ribbon and even an old dog tag were used to create this sentimental bracelet. I found the antique monogrammed locket at my favorite antiquing stomping grounds in PA, just like the button. The antique button was used as an off-center focal.įor this next assemblage-style bracelet, I gathered up all sorts of vintage bits and baubles that I had been collecting. For this necklace, I stitched a few favorite mother of pearl buttons on to brass stampings and used brass wire to connect the button links together. I held on to it, waiting to make something special. The button stood out with its beautiful cut steel, brass, and mother of pearl details. It was just sitting there on a table mixed with all sorts of stuff. Last year, I found this amazing antique button. Shown here in sterling, brass, and a copper and sterling wire mix. In this wire-wrapped bangle, I challenged myself to take a link from my book, The Missing Link, and turn it into a bracelet! The entire bangle base is one length of wire, and 3 gauges of wire were used. I’m hoping to find more stones like this when I ever get to a bead show again. I wanted to showcase a simple rough-cut rutilated quartz bead. I’ve gathered up photos that I took myself before I sent my jewelry to the wonderful people of Stampington. With all the activities in the last few months, I neglected to share pictures of my jewelry designs that were featured in the Jewelry Affaire Winter 2015 issue. With the change in season, Spring issues of the latest jewelry magazines are popping up. Her best-selling jewelry design book, The Missing Link, was released in the Fall, 2013. She is the co-founder of artBLISS, hosting jewelry and mixed media workshops in the DC area. Thanks for stopping by!Ĭindy Wimmer is a jewelry designer with a passion for combining vintage elements with modern wire design. You can find these designs and instructions in Jewelry Affaire Spring 2015. There’s one more necklace to this collection – will post that one soon! Layers of turquoise and silver! Just for fun, I combined necklaces from my previous blog post. Coiled wire adds great dimension – here I used several gauges of sterling wire along with twisted wire, wrapped around the crescent. I used sheet metal to create a semi-circle, and added texture. I decided to make a completely handmade focal just for these special beads. I had been saving this graduated strand of turquoise beads for quite some time. I’ll also show a simple step to adding patina to brass wire. We’ll review wirework essentials such as simple loops and wrapped loops, along with coiling techniques.

#LOMO STUDIO HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY HOW TO#

** I’ll be teaching how to make these earrings locally in VA at Stars Beads this Fall. Now how about a sweet pair of wirework hoops? The coiled wire adds a bit of texture, framing a carved mother of pearl flower. I used faux leather suede to finish the necklace, complete with a wirework clasp. It was fun creating all sorts of dangles using a seed-bead embellished vintage key and a herringbone wrapped faceted bead. I included some of my favorite stones – from smoky quartz to little brass cubes. This is a wirework twist of a charm-holder necklace. I hope you’re enjoying summer too! Before I wait another day, today I’m posting pictures of jewelry that was published in Stampington’s Jewelry Affaire. We’ve been off enjoying summer – travel to exotic places (pictures to come), the beach, and just soaking up my favorite season for as long as possible. So nice of you to visit my little corner of the world.

7.6.22 Bits of Whimsy and Wonderful

Stampington & Company has come up with a fabulous new spin off publication! Bella Grace: Book of Lists. If you are anything like me … you are a list-maker, a note-taker, and a dreamer with too many words and doodles to keep track of. I was lucky enough to have two pieces in this issue: “Tiny Truths You Only Learn By Living,” and “25 Whimsical Ways to Enlighten the Light of Summer.” I hope that…

It's time for Gramma and Remy to return to their lives in Big City. Reluctant to say goodbye, Cricket,Tilly and Bill offer to drive them back to the city to extend their time together.

But once in the city, the Greens keep adding to their itinerary, coming up with increasingly thin excuses not to take Gramma and Remy home. Meanwhile, Gloria --who is awaiting Gramma's signature on important cafe paperwork--and Vasquez--who has prepared a welcome-back dinner for Remy--grow impatient and go hunting for the Greens.

In The Artist Studio: Where The Magic Happens

In The Artist Studio: Where The Magic Happens

Katie Turner, “My Studio & Cat” 2022 David Hockney is not the only artist that painted his living space or studio, but one of many.  Hockney used cubist perspectives to deconstruct his living room for his painting.  He also picked up the idea for composition from Chinese scrolls that show landscapes in different spaces and from different points of view .  Hockney includes a bust of Pablo Picasso…
