"Once Upon a Fantasy"

Have you ever watched the show 'Once Upon a Time'? My husband and I started watching it just recently. It's pretty clever and really fun. But what I really love are the freaking costumes! In fantasy land they have done the most amazing job with all the costuming and hair styles and props. Serious, serious kudos to the crew.

So in the show there is a magic dude (not going to say names for anyone who hasn't seen it) and at one part it shows his magic bottles where he has captured all manners of magic. And it's all SGI of course and inside the magic glitters and swirls all lit up and bright. And all I could think forever was that is awesome, how can I do that?!?

I am exuberant to announce that I did it. I made a shimmering magic bottle that lights up. (It doesn't swirl but I don't have fairy tale sorcery or a mobile SGI device so we all have to work with what we have, right.)

The first one I made I called 'Fairy Dust' and it was blue. We now also make a pink 'Fairy Dust' that is adorable.

I love the fairy ones. When the light turns on and all the sparkles shine I swear I could just stare into it for hours. But my real excitement are our Steampunk ones!

MM the start of Steampunk

I had quite the wonderful discussion with a friend of mine, who is a historian, about Steampunk. And he showed me this music video. The video was based on a silent movie from the 20's. It was the first time the Neo-Victorian style that has turned into Steampunk was explored in today's pop culture media.

I loved this song when I was young and this video just cracks me up! But hey, thanks for Steampunk, Pumpkins. Great thanks, indeed.

Tonight Tonight- Smashing Pumpkins

Kicked out of the Nest

Today my little baby business has been shipped off to Oklahoma to be presented to the public at a genuine Steampunk convention. The amazing Captain and Crew of the Airship Horizons has offered us a space at their table, and though we will not be there in person I'm there wholeheartedly in exuberant spirits! 

I'm so full of gratitude for their kindness and support. This is the type of community that I have been missing. These are the kind of people who change the world. And today they have changed mine.

Thank you very much Miss Michelle, Mr. Dan and all crew and memebers of Airship Horizons.
