Well, today is the final day to enter the giveaway! Go here for details and to enter last minute. I will announce the winner tomorrow (Tuesday) and ship to the winner mid-week!
I have been busy as usual over here. First, I am doing some paintings for my gallery called The Island of Misfit Toys series, (somewhat inspired by the Rankin Bass film, but instead of you know, a pistol that can't shoot or a dolly that can't cry or whatever, I have a deposed bear king who's murdered by the Bee King who tries to make it look like a suicide.) Take a peek, they have not been "glittered" yet, a vital step with my pieces as you know. More to follow!
So, the art is sorta like this... only with murder and suicide.
I will also be listing more harlequin lockets this week, I have more chain and fun little jewels to make them all different and special.
I have found some more wonderful people to share with you all. Eugenio Recuenco is a photographer whose work is dark and dramatic and painterly and I truly love it all. I flipped through the portfolio and I couldn't wait to see the next image. Take a look:
Telegramme is a top-knotch design firm out of the UK. I found their site the other day and they have a ton of beautiful work, but their work specifically for the Queen of Hoxton, a bar/art gallery/movie house/totally awesome venue in London makes me want to go there immediately! Look at these monthly fliers, they're like mini works of art. If you live near London, go to Queen of Hoxton and tell me all about it!
I'm going to wrap up with a book recommendation. My local library had their annual book sale a couple of weeks back and as a library supporter and lover of books, I went. I picked up several books, and Burnt Offerings was one of them. Now, they made a movie out of this book and it has Karen Black in it, which means, it most likely sucks and I plan on renting it and telling you all about it. But, the book was really good. The characters and the descriptions were more than I expected from a 70's paperback. Go spend 50 cents and get a copy and let me know what you think.
Yeah, you won't find the "Face of Evil" doorknob at Home Depot...
Until next time: unpleasant dreams...

I LOVE Eugenio Recuenco - the first time I saw his work I fell through an internet rabbit-hole and looked through his galleries for hours! Delicious! And the Misfit Toys series looks fabulous...
I love the lockets! very cute.
ok, and i had to chuckle at the title "Burnt Offerings" since that was the name of the band an old co-worker was part of when he was in high school.
I love him too choklit! I too got to looking through the portfolio for hours. Beautiful work. And thank you on the paintings! :)
Yeah, Burnt Offerings is a pretty good band name actually. ;)
