Hello Hello!
Welcome to Whimsy Wednesday!
I've been creating in the studio as well as sprucing up a tad bit! This post will show a little of both!
First, the new creation!
Title: As Yet Unknown
There are more creations inspired by the spooky part of the season growing up, so stay tuned for that! In the meantime, let's chat about these earrings! The white skulls are howlite (which is often mistaken for turquoise) wrapped with hand-finished brass and accented with Czech glass and suspended from forest green Artistic wire. Howlite is thought to help focus the mind and articulate thoughts as well as calm the internal critic, stress, anger and etc. Some also believe that this stone aids in inner knowing, opening the third eye and seeing into other dimensions/time-space continuum. What an intriguing choice for skull beads, yes?
Next up!
A bit of that studio spruce up I mentioned!
I acquired a few new backgrounds for photos on a recent Walkabout!
Here they are!
Both of the backgrounds are of gorgeous, heavy, textured paper with embossed designs! The brown flows with spirals and the green grows with leaves! Aren't they fetching?! The textures will add visual interest whilst the consist colour of the backgrounds will be an excellent backdrop in which to showcase my creations! YAY!!!!
You'll have to stop back by to see how and when these are used! Whee!
One last thing of note before we take our leave of each other... There is a second session in the Welcome to Being Human series on BlogTalk Radio!
Sunday, Oct. 27th at 5pm (CST, USA) Cheryl Patton and I will be chatting about often impossible pedestal we humans (especially those in the healing arts) are placed on and the stifling effects of "always staying positive".
Who put us up there anyway?
Join us for insight, laughter and fun as we poke at the foiables and follies of life as Human Beans!
See you Friday!
Ciao!
Hello Everyone!
Welcome back to Magical Monday!
These posts have been a bit sporadic as of late for a number of reasons. The most significant is that I've adopted the rule of doing things mainly because they are fun and the there were portions that had become largely un-fun.
However! I've nifty things to show you today, so let's get started!
First! Stuck in a traffic jam with an unusual view!
This is not my photo (though I wish the experience was!) of a prop of Jabba's Floating Palace from the Star Wars - Return of the Jedi. Credits and details are here!
Next up! Escher in Legos!
Photo and creation credits are here!
I've always been fascinated with Escher's work (as many have) and having something inspired by him made out of Legos is full of win and whimsy!
Last, but certainly as full of win, this!
Photo credits and details are here!
I would absolutely eat at this pizzeria! Wouldn't you?
And now for news of upcoming Sprite Creations events! There is a second session in the Welcome to Being Human series on BlogTalk Radio!

Hello Hello!
Welcome to Fini Friday!
I hope your week has been filled with fun and adventure!
I've a few new ideas to show you in this post as well as a tad bit of news!
First! The plots and plans!
This is a necklace creation that I'm still developing. I like some of the chain options more than others...but I'm still not quite certain how this will play out! The gorgeous pendant in the center, by the way, is faceted smoky quartz and sterling silver! This might end up being a multi-layered chain necklace....or I might keep the design simple so as to show off that beautiful stone!
Stay tuned!
This second photo is a collection of beads and ideas for some spooky-fun Halloween creations! I don't normally gravitate towards skulls and I'm very selective about those I do play with. These are stylized and have much potential with their simple design! Did you spy the owl and moons? There is a cat sitting quietly in the centre and other mysteriously cool beads scattered hither and yon!
You'll have to stop by for a visit again to see what happens next!
Whee!!

And now! The News!
