For Inspire Me Thursday - "Papercut":
... draw inspiration from papercutting, the art of cutting paper designs
Not sure I did this "correctly" :) but hey it's my interpretation and I did cut out figures ;)

Originally, this was supposed to be much more light and fun, but then the queen stepped in and took over completely, having all the fun herself, as queens tend to do - and keep in mind, this is a rock queen :)

What About My Words?

For Inspire Me Thursday - "Storyteller".

This prompt had me thinking about women and our histories, the difficulties to tell those stories in our own words, since there has always been and always seem to be Someone Else to tell them - or ignore them. Also inspired by the Dixie Chicks documentary "Shut Up and Sing"

Suck, detta halsband är helt omöjligt att fotografera - måste förklaras (för att inte tala om ses)! De små pärlorna är genomgående trädda silver och petroleumblå om vartannat. Sötvattenspärlorna är mörkt silverblågråa. Rektangeln (snäckskal) skiftar i grått och petroleumblå. Glashängena längst ned är mörkblåa. Det ligger mycket tanke och jobb (pärlorna jäklades med mig hela tiden) bakom detta halsband, därav namnet.

The Island of Lost Hearts

It's true I always wanted love to be
Hurtful
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Filled with pain
And bruises

(Antony and the Johnsons, "Cripple and the Starfish", Antony and the Johnsons, 2000. Full lyrics here)

For Illustration Friday - "Island".
A truly disturbing song, which reminds me of... well, let's just say that I loved h** too much...

Lustigt, egentligen...

... hur fort lek kan övergå till allvar när det gäller skapande...
... to be continued!
(Hoppas jag)

i'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through
it's just your ghost passing through
and now i'm quite sure
there's a light in your platoon
i never seen a light move
like yours can do to me
so now i'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best angie dickinson
but now i've got to worry
'cause boy you still look pretty to me
but i've got a place to go
i've got a ticket to your late show
and i'm worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on

(Tori Amos, "Putting the Damage On", Boys for Pele, 1996

Jag vet att jag tjatar om att "måste ses IRL", men det ÄR verkligen så i det här fallet :) En detalj som helt försvinner är att jag har varvat silverfärgade respektive blåsilverfärgade rocaillepärlor (de små pärlorna) mellan de stora pärlorna - ett himla piller att göra men väl värt mödan då det ger liv åt halsbandet. Ordningen silver/blått vänder samtidigt med ordningen halvädelsten/sötvatten. Som sagt, ett himla piller med detta halsband, men jag är så nöjd! :) *peppar peppar ta i kreativitetsträ*
