Steampunk Jewelry Supplies and Designs
To whom it may concern:
FireMountain Gems (the company from which I have bought pretty much all my jewelry making supplies forever, including the raw components for our crystal wedding bouquets) now features Steampunk themed components and design inspirations. Some of the necklaces and bracelets in particular look very pretty.
That is all. -
Vik the Victorian
I'm cross-posting this from my photo blog because I figured folks around here who don't necessarily read all my photography ramblings might enjoy seeing Vik as a Victorian (and as a ghost in some of the shots).

Originally published at BlackTabi Blog. You can comment here or there.
With my photo of the sunset yesterday, I marked the successful completion of the first month of Project 365. Out of 31 days in January, I took at least one photo every day. So far, the project is at once both easier and more difficult than I expected.

On Resolutions
Originally published at BlackTabi Blog. You can comment here or there.
I used to spend a lot of time on photography. In high school, I had a fully manual Pentax K-1000 film camera that saw me through several levels of photography classes. When people ask “where were you when the 9-11 attacks happened?” I clearly remember that I was where I was ( Read more... )
