Fini Friday! New Inspiration!

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to this edition of Fini Friday!
I've a bit of old and new for you today!
Let's start with the old... or should I saw, resolved!
You might remember a few days back on Whimsy Wednesday that I was colouring art on the "Spritemobile"!  I didn't yet have the web url completed and now I have!
Take a look!
I am so pleased with this!!
YAY!
And now for the new!

This is a photo of some new additions to my studio and home!  The bells and incense/Genie lamp are all brass, with a handsome patina on them.  The lamp reminds me of Aladdin and his story (of course)!  I'm keeping it close to the studio, so as to inspire me in magical ways! *wink*
The bells have beautiful, mellow tones and have inspired a mixed-media art creation that I'll fill you in on in time!  It represents art I'm prepared for yet have not yet stepped into!
Whee!
The marbles you see there are at least 50 years old...with the more dull one in the centre being likely 70 years old (or more)!  I love their vibrant colours and mellow, enchanting textures! 
And finally!  Those two plastic swords were acquired during a social outing a little while ago.  I brought them home because the idea of creating jewelry with them amused me so much!
I've worked with them a bit, mostly sanding down the sharp plastic edges. 
They will become earrings and are slated to stay prototypes.  I'll be testing them to see how much of a stabbing hazard they are with normal wear. 
Whilst I love the idea of them, safety is a HUGE priority for me!
Stay tuned for updates, as they happen!

Speaking of updates...before we cruise into this Summer weekend, I'll mention this!
My next BlogTalk Radio Interview is scheduled!

Tuesday, August 19th at 12 Noon (CST, USA)!!!

I'll be chatting with Cheryl Patton of 1Woman's Wisdom about (the often whimsical) Faerie Wisdom specific to the month of August!

It would be so much fun if you could join us!

See you next week!

Ciao!

Magical Monday! Mushrooms and Monsters!

Hello Hello! 

Welcome to Magical Monday! 

I hope your weekend was fabulous! Mine was! 

I've some beautiful and fun things to show you today, so let's get started! This is a Mushroom lamp. I don't have a lot of details about it (though you can look them up here) and yet I think it is very Fairy-like! It is an excellent way to add a little Fairy Magic and mystery to any space! Whee!!! 

 

Here is the first of the Monsters mentioned in the title! A snow monster! Details and credits are here! I love seeing people play and enjoy the season, regardless of which season we're in. 

 The last of the Monsters I mentioned are Zombies. I've never been a fan of zombies and have let the zombie craze pass me by, however; this video of the Canadian Parliment discusses security measures regarding the Zombie Apocolypse gives me hope for governments everywhere! Click here to view! 

So that's it for this Magical Monday! 

Thanks for the visit! 

Just a little reminder that I'll be back on the BlogTalk Radio air in a few days with Cheryl Patton of 1Woman's Wisdom! 

Tuesday, Feb. 19th 3-3:30pm (CST, USA) A Special February Message From the Faeries! I'm not giving any hints, so hop on over for a listen that day to hear their message!

Both of these will be in the archives for later listening if your schedule does not allow you to listen to me live! 

I'll see you on Wednesday! 

Ciao!
