Wired up Dichroic Glass

I was a bit disappointed with the way in which one of my dichro pieces looked wired up, so...I reworked it and I like it much better now.

Wire in the Dichro

I cooked up a translucent piece of glass with a little red dichro in the middle. I then encased it in swirls, adapting a tutorial from Eni Oken.

 

How much fun can you have with a biscuit????

More Wired Up Dichroic Glass

Wire and Dichro Bling

I cooked up a piece of dichroic glass using a little iridescent piece of glass to back it. I then wired it up using the netting technique I learnt from Eni Oken.

I did a bit of embroidery of Sarah's jeans. You should check out Sarah's Manga (mango-hahaha)  Art- it's fantastic!!!!

Full Dark, No Stars

Full Dark, No Stars, a book of short stories by Stephen King is due to be released on November 9th!! I hope it's available in Australia soon after.

Back from Darwin!!

We have just arrived back from a relaxing few days in Darwin! Had a bit of retail therapy and so much fast food. Time for a detox I think.
Thanks so much to all the lovely people who commented on the Practical Magic blog party. I am coming to visit all of you very, very soon.

Congratulations to the HOT PIES!!!!!!!

Here are a couple of photos from the drive.

Midnight Margarita Journal

The journal is filled with the lyrics from the soundtrack of the movie.

I popped some symbols from the movie on the front cover such as the little angel wings worn by the girls; the letter written by Sally to Gillian; a red rose from the trellis; Jimmy Angelov's ring and a jar filled with something beautiful from Sally's shop.

A quote from the book that is partly used in the movie.

A detailed look at the broom. Blogger wouldn't put my pic the right way, no matter how many times I loaded it!!!

A close up of the binding-diamond X of course-my favourite!!!!

Lyrics from the soundtrack of the movie.

 I really love the movie Practical Magic and I've always had a soft spot for it. 

I also love the book which is so very different to the movie.

I guess the movie has more international appeal with the addition of roses rather than lilacs and a very cool Transylvanian, Jimmy Angelov...

It doesn't matter what people tell you. It doesn't matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction."

Stephen is KING!!!

I love the writing of Stephen King. Here is an interview he did regarding his appearance on Sons of Anarchy.
