No dolls were actually hurt during this creative experience because the first pin was placed in a spot that intercepts the pain centers. If I happened to miss the spot he never screamed not even once. I had so much fun creating this one that I have since gone on to other darklings or fuzzy graylings as some would call them. When he does find a home and chooses to leave me I will truly miss him. He was one of the first darklings created from a Lucid Dream experience where I realized I was dreaming and opened a door at will that was the entrance to my dream workshop and started creating.

Gothic Black Weekend

~Magickal Graphics~

Welcome to the beginning of The Weekend of what else but Superbowl. I am not a really big fan of sports, in school I knew just how many days in gym class that I could ditch, not suit up or play sick and still get a passing grade. I have a 4 inch scar on the top of my head and a smaller on on the inside of my left index finger from 7th grade gym class (one of the days I was sitting out having selectively forgotten my gym wear). If I can get hurt like that sitting out, I imagine I wouldn't have made it out of school alive if I had participated. I have been diagnosed with a type of dyslexia, I have no depth perception and my direction finder has always been screwed up so I had no chance in a gym class. That being said I will be attending a Super Bowl party...because hey, it's a party! I don't know who is playing, even though my husband explained it to me twice, My brain just can't retain sports facts. Thanks for stopping by and have a safe and fun weekend.

Before there was time there was The One and The One was all and all was The One. Solitude is not a way to live so others were created. When there are Two then there can be love.
O.K....O.K. I was on a roll with this theme this morning and my hubby dumped all the tax info on the desk and I ran....fast...and far, far away! When he is doing the taxes (himself ) you do not want to be on the same block as he is...so yes I ran. I ran right out to my favorite Thrift Museum where I feel safe. Yes I am a weakling and yes I fear the Tax Gods every year when he makes my usually sweet hubby a real bear. If you never hear from me again...well, you know...start digging in my back yard.

Valentine Choker

~Magickal Graphics~

Reincarnation is one of the most controversial blog topics especially in this age of new awareness of past and future lives and loves. So why could you not conceive that inanimate objects also have a soul of sorts and that these also lived past lives and then move on to new lives. My most favored thing is to take items and reincarnate them into something new and different than what they were originally intended for. One small life scene is not enough to reach the ultimate goal of being loved by everyone and loving everyone as well, so one we go to one life scene after another over and over learning many important lessons as we go. Even my dark side consciousness is seeking to send out Love this close to Valentines Day.

Blood Red Tears Necklace

~Magickal Graphics~

I morn, I weep for a lover gone a long twilight ago, never seen again by daylight I hide here in the dark. My tears have turned blood red, cold as ice as hard as glass. Let me feel the scented mist of a favorite perfume on my neck, the breath of my lover on my brow, a wet tear on my cheek once again.

This was inspired by the a necklace I made from blood red glass teardrops and I have for sale at my mystic2awesome shop which I will eventually switch over to my gothB4play shop at etsy.

Those with a darker side might choose to wear Blood Red Tears Necklace to a secret tryst, midnight walk through the graveyard, or Goth party but beware of those drawn to blood red tears.

Workplace Hell

Magickal Graphics

I saw this photo at "Magickal Graphics" and fell in love with it, It made me laugh this morning while I was reading about fluorescent bulbs and how they make you fatiqued in the workplace.
The reason fluorescent bulbs give people headaches and make the eyes tired is because they flicker up to 60 times per second. This flickering is not noticeable by the naked eye, but it does cause intense tiring of the brain. If you work in an office space with a fluorescent bulb keep a lamp nearby with a standard incandescence bulb to help blend out the flickering. Or better yet, just shut off the overhead fluorescent bulbs and bring your own lighting.
