LOVE this gorgeous glass I scored on etsy.com but it’s a little to big to use as a pendant.
Oops. Might prove to be a fun prop for future jewelry an other photo shoots though. Hmmmm… What would you do with piece?
DeVotchKa’s 100 Lovers will stream at npr.org in its entirety until its release on March 1.
Thanks to Heather Davis for the heads-up. 🙂
An actual working envelope charm hangs with an empty heart charm a carved Czech glass rosebud and a round bronze filigree edged glass charm with an image of cherry blossoms and the Ovid-inspired quip, “Love knows no rules of good behavior.”
Inside the envelope is an original verse on a scrap of paper.
“petals of distraction / layered in defense / around her empty heart.”
Ideally, the buyer will place their own love note inside.
I like it but I think it may need one more small touch. Suggestions?

Cognac, Cointreau & Lemon juice = delicious. A NICE winter warm up.
Nonsense covers the stuff that has no name, or a name that you feel really awkward and self-conscious saying out loud, like “underground.”
e.g. Street events, loft parties, puppet shows, bike rallys, costume balls, interactive art shows, movies in unusual places, parades, outlaw dancing, guerilla theater, burlesque and variety shows, loser open mikes, cirkuses, and absurdist pranks.

I think working mothers of all walks of life can relate to this. The fact that she dances Burlesque just ups the importance of her staying fit, but we all need help finding time in the day to exercise and making it fun as well as practical.
I especially like how this commercial normalizes burlesque dancing. The delination is clear — this commercial never would have been made about a “gentlemen’s club” stripper.

This article in the Christian Science Monitor seems late in the game, but … some good info here nonetheless. -ag
“Steampunk is definitely growing in popularity,” says Diana Vick, vice chair of Steamcon, an annual convention in Seattle that doubled its attendance when it held its second meeting in November. “I believe it is due in part to the fact that it is a rejection of the slick, soulless, mass-produced technology of today and a return to a time when it was ornate and understandable.”
