This is an ornament I made myself. If you look closely, you may recognize the Victor Bilibin image I used for the back of my handmade Tarot cards. This ornament was made as an example of a simple craft one could do with stickers. For this one, I took 5 rectangular stickers and placed aContinue reading “Final Days Of 2017 Day 4: Two Of One Or One Of Two”

#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 3: Pretty, Naughty Pig
This little piggy was not created as an ornament, but has been donned by many of my “Christmas Trees” (in quotes because instead of a tree, I have used a hat rack, or gathered fallen branches). A festive and naughty pig, note the Mardi Gras beads and dirty feet, perhaps she represents the greed, gluttonyContinue reading “#FD2017 Final Days Of 2017 Day 3: Pretty, Naughty Pig”

I know what you’re thinking. Why is that a silly ornament? It’s a pretty angel. A nice silver ornament. But take a closer look. What’s she wearing that hat for? Is she going on safari?

#Writober Day 14: Monsters under the microscope.
Now here’s a real monster from The Science Library/Getty Images. I think if you watch Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and compare this guy to the storm-trooper carrying at-ats you’ll see some design similarities. This four-eyed alien-like face, belonging to the larva of a water-dwelling beetle, can be the last thing a tadpole seesContinue reading “#Writober Day 14: Monsters under the microscope.”
#Writober Day 13: A Well In The Woods
This is one of the wells at Longmire in Mt. Rainier National Park. This well sits directly to the left of the cabin in the woods. The well definitely makes me think of The Ring a great spooky movie for those you doing RIPXII’s Peril on the Screen.

#Writober Day 12: Locked Inside
The human form inside the eye makes me think of Human Centipede for some reason. Oh so creepy. What if we all live inside one huge being? What if it’s a monstrous humanoid with yellow eyes?

The trees seek punitiveContinue reading “#Writober Day 8: Hungry Tree In The Military Cemetery”

Another First: McKenzie’s New Boyfriend
McKenzie’s New Boyfriend is my second story published by Fictional Pairings. They paired my story with a song called Recover by Second Still. I’m listening to it while I write this. It feels perfect for my story–spacey road trip–and on Second Still’s site it says the album was released on my birthday this year (coincidence?).Continue reading “Another First: McKenzie’s New Boyfriend”
