Cooking blog

Well, I've started to learn about the wonderful science of cooking as of late. I've started a cooking blog over on Allrecipes.com Be sure to check it out, as I will regale you with tales of woe and triumph.

Bobble-headed Geisha

Here's my fandom at it's worst. I love Firefly and Serenity. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out. Anyways, a few years ago, I created a bobble-headed Geisha. This piece was mostly a proof-of-concept. It turned out decently, but imperfect, and I was disheartened. The project was lain aside, to collect dust on my mother's shelf. Then, an organizer from the St. Louis "Can't Stop the Serenity" event requested a custom geisha for their auction! I couldn't have been more pleased. The bobble-head turned out great! I am again creating one (or more) geishas for this year's event.

Thrift Stores

Thrift stores are the Thing of the Whenever. I just found some great stuff at the local Goodwill. I just bought a jewelry armoire for 83% off the retail price! No, it's not all beat to hell either. I also found an adorable dress and a sterling silver cover baby album with the engraving certificate still inside. This is just from my latest trip! It surprises me how much nice stuff people just give away.

Doctor Who TARDIS

I love Doctor Who. I've fallen for the newest series hook, line, and sinker! My "wonderful mother bought me a present, a miniature TARDIS USB hub! It lights up when you add or remove devices, as well as an optional sound effect, just like the one on TV! It's hard to beat the combination of aesthetics and functionality!

Skeleton Watch Necklace

I found a steampunk-esque watch that I just had to have. This watch is wound and hangs on a chain as a necklace. I am hoping to cobble together a steampunk outfit shortly, and will probably get some photos of myself and friends in said costume. Cross-posted to my blog.

Sundial Necklace

sundial
While digging out my costume for the impending local Renaissance Faire, I found my favorite piece. I love how useful it is (although, I've never been about to use it myself...) It's very elegant and always gleans many comments and questions, when it's not being over-shadowed by my Lothlorien pin and/or pet griffin. This watch was crafted by the wonderful Shepperd's Watches. This is one of the smaller and more affordable options, so they have much more elaborate and beautiful options.

Steampunk Laptop

So, I starting to get into a trend called Steampunk. I came across this laptop, and it is amazingly cool.

This is only one of several snapshots and an extensive description at the creator's website, Datamancer.net.

Burnt Power Outlet

This is exactly what you DON'T want to see when you go to plug in your laptop or other expensive electronics. But this is just what I found in the lounge at my university. Luckily not ALL the plates were like this, but it does make me wonder.
