Faux bois stamped goodness and more cryptic clues
Necklace and photo by Kirsty Neale
Kirsty posted a stamping school tutorial over at the Frog Blog this week, and she used my stamps to create this necklace from polymer clay. Frankly, I am so in love with this necklace that I really don’t want to tell you this, but she is giving it away! As much as I really want to be the one who wins it, I can’t be, so I hope one of you can win it! Go here and answer her question for a chance to win (and at the very least, you get to see how to make one yourself, which is also pretty cool).
As for my cryptic message yesterday, I can confirm two things.
1. This mystery event will start here on Monday 1st June. As in, just after this weekend!
2. This mystery event may involve something you can see in this:
but I’m afraid that’s all the hint you’ll get for today! (Oh, okay, I’ll give you one more: it does not involve gardening. For which all plants will be grateful, as today The Boy has reminded me that all I have to do is sit near plants and they will wilt. He quickly removed them from next to my desk and they are already happier.)
A couple answers to questions this week:
...I made the film in iMovie ‘09 and it was super easy…it’s pretty much drag and drop, then just tweak what you like! I wouldn’t know where to start on a PC, but if you have a Mac, you can DEFINITELY do this.
...The music is a song called Fireflies in a Steel Mill by The Elected, off the album Sun, Sun, Sun. I photographed a gig they played in Londontown a couple years ago, knowing nothing about them before I walked in. (Well, I knew that the singer used to be in Salute your Shorts on Nickelodeon, but now that I have said that I have lost all respect with anyone who is a superfan of The Elected.) Anyway, I went home and downloaded both albums, which is pretty rare for me. I love the calm beauty of their songs and how they all sound like summers from childhood.
Thank you so much for the movie love. I am so excited to make more.
Have a fabulous weekend!
