September Crafting Challenge

Okay, my current obsession, masks. And to me, knock on wood, it doesn’t seem that hard to make. You can buy simple white ones in crafting stores or similar and glue all sort of fancy stuff to them, at least it looks simple but I never tried it so what do I know… But I say we all try to do our own mask this September and post the results on our blogs, come on! It’ll be fun (I hope)!

Things to buy:
· Glue gun
· Feathers
· Glitter
· Ribbons
· Loads of more stuff…

Some movies I’m (hopefully) going to see

The Countess: A movie about the legendary Hungarian countess Elizabeth Báthory who is said to have killed and tortured hundreds of virgins. She was known for her “lustrous black hair and pale skin”; she was also of royal blood. “By many accounts, she was also a petty and vain narcissist. She changed her clothing five or six times a day and spent hours admiring her legendary beauty in mirrors. She used all manner of oils and unguents to preserve and whiten her skin. No one denied her whatever she wanted and she demanded continuous praise. No one knows what she might have become had she not teamed up with her husband, but there is no doubt that she was fertile ground for his sadistic encouragement.”
She seems to have been married to a really cutie pie too “He also showed Elizabeth the art of freezing a girl to death during the winter by pouring water over her naked body until it hardened and she was unable to move. Sometimes he sent black magic spells from another land where he was at war for his wife to try out at home—a token of his love.”
Looks like the movie is slight different, a cleaner version, a “love story”…
(Got the info here, more to read if anyone is interested)


(Don't like that they have used the soundtrack from The Village in the trailer, get a new track for F sake.)

I Sell The Dead: It reminds me of RL Stevensons “The Body Snatcher” and the whole Burke and Hare Murders. Looks like fun and I have never heard a word about this movie, which based on the trailer is a little odd to me, a big bowl of popcorn and some good friends and this would be a great night I bet.

“If I’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that you never, ever, trust a corpse.”



Zombieland: Probably not a good movie but it looks entertaining and Wood Harrelson is always fun. I prefer zombies in comedies, they aren’t very scary when they are horror and they are always cliché so…

I’m a 90’s whore…

I was watching “Foxfire” and then it hit me like a sledgehammer in the stomach; I’m a 90’s whore. I so miss those days! I want to wear a filthy tee (but back then it was known as a t-shirt), flannel shirt and Dr Martin boots and watch “My so called life” (remember Jordan Catalano, he was yummy) and listen to all the sad music and a suffering soul who no one gets and have a Robert Smith hairdo! I’m getting a flannel, nostalgia overdoes… Where the H is my copy of “The Crow”?

(I love the sunglasses!)

(I always liked Angelas hair, I'm having a redhead phase)

Sølve Sundsbø

I know it’s just a naked woman on a stool but I really like the picture. I wonder if I can get bangs like that… Anyways, the picture is by Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø and the model is Daisy Lowe. She also took the other two pictures. Can’t refuse a redhead and the other picture was sort of cool and creepy at the same time so…

Daisy Lowe Lily Cole
Susie Bick

Last seen movie…

Tristan + Isolde, what a waste of time… Yawn, the only thing I liked in the movie was perhaps Isoldes hair, and the names Tristan and Isolde, got a certain ring to it.

Research

Doing a little research for Aimées (and my…) story. It’s a romantic one so this picture by Annie Leibovits is just want I need. Going to the library tomorrow and picking up something romantic… any recommendations? Other than Romeo and Juliet I mean? More pictures here.

I’m officially scared of bunnies…

And a little something for Shalyn, poor bunny...

Some goodies from Swedish real estate

Pictures I found at swedish real estate sites.

Not much but closeup below on the kitchen floor, love it! Old wine crates or something.

Bonus pictures from Australia, Melbourne I think. Both picture from the same house. Was for sale maybe two years ago... I hope someone renovated it properly.

Lovely!

Found this lovely site called The Land Between Solar Systems… Not sure how (like always) and there’s just tones of pretty pictures! She’s an artist with her own Etsy shop. Some nude stuff that I could live without, but whatever floats your boat. Some nice pictures I found there.

I really like this tattoo, very art nouveu.
