Simiverse - The Pit and the Pendulum

I put forward my arm, and shuddered to find that I had fallen at the very brink of a circular pit, whose extent, of course, I had no means of ascertaining at the moment. Groping about the masonry just below the margin, I succeeded in dislodging a small fragment, and let it fall into the abyss. For many seconds I hearkened to its reverberations as it dashed against the sides of the chasm in its descent; at length there was a sullen plunge into water, succeeded by loud echoes. At the same moment there came a sound resembling the quick opening, and as rapid closing of a door overhead, while a faint gleam of light flashed suddenly through the gloom, and as suddenly faded away.

Down - still unceasingly - still inevitably down! I gasped and struggled at each vibration. I shrunk convulsively at its every sweep. My eyes followed its outward or upward whirls with the eagerness of the most unmeaning despair; they closed themselves spasmodically at the decent, although death would have been a relief, oh! how unspeakable! Still I quivered in every nerve to think how slight a sinking of the machinery would precipitate that keen, glistening axe upon my bosom. It was hope that prompted the nerve to quiver - the frame to shrink. I was hope - the hope that triumphs on the rack - that whispers to the death-condemned even in the dungeons of the inquisition. 

Faerie Folk Entry!

Gossamer was only eleven when her family first crossed over to this realm; so young her wings were but tiny nubs that fit beneath her clothing. She was very curious about anything and everything, and when her mother came home from the store with some makeup, she just had to see what it was. She made a poor attempt to put it on, and decided that she looked more like she'd been punched in the face than anything, even though she tried to follow the instructions. Her mother walked in just as she was about to wash it off!! Oh no! She'd been caught! But instead of getting upset, her mom chuckled a little, and they both tried to figure out this makeup stuff together. Perhaps you could say this was the very first moment that inspired Gossamer to model.

A bracelet, earrings, and a... fail?

Well my title is backwards.  The fail is first.  I decided to attempt to incorporate my leather cord into a necklace.  I hadn't used it yet and it seemed simple enough to do.  The problem is that I tried too hard maybe?  It's nothing complicated, but idk it just didn't work, but I didn't take it apart.  I figured once I got the store up maybe there would be someone who didn't think it was as ugly as I think it is.

I'm just not sure at all what kind of shirt or dress that would actually look good with.  Meh.  But this is where the fail fades away and gradually gets better.  I decided I DID like the pattern and colors of the beads, and I don't make many bracelets, soooooOOOO:

I really like it, and I'm inspired now to make many more bracelets.  Now, for the finale, are the earrings I'd planned on making for a while.. almost since I got the beads.  They might be a bit long, but they aren't as heavy as they look:

I think it might help a tad if I remove the jump between the big hoop and the ear hook thing.  (the little circle)  I just felt like it would be a little stronger with it.  *shrugs*  We'll see, but otherwise I like, and actually think the picture turned out pretty cool with the shadowing :D

I finally got back to it

I've been pulling aside bits of time here and there to make another piece of jewelry.  I wouldn't consider it anything extremely unique, but I really like it.  I'm hoping to be able to send it to a buddy across the ocean, *nods to Blaz*.  Lets just hope shipping isn't absolutely insane.  Anyway just wanted to post this piece since my jewelry seems few and far in between anymore :(

Sorry the pics are a tad dark, but I still think they turned out okay.

My phone lives in a poptart!

So some of you may have talked to my friend Abra/Caseydia.  She mad this awesomesauce little phone case for me.  Isn't it awesome?  It is kind of perfect for work because I'm always throwing keys and such in the same pocket as my phone and I worry about it getting scratched up.  And besides, I think it will diminish the chances of distracted doctors thinking my phone is theirs ;)

Faerie Folkness

After a hard day of being pretty and answering questions about the life of a faerie, Gossamer closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber, filled with many dreams. Some were good, some were bad. In her dreams she traveled to many places and did many things in the land of slumber, but only two of these dreams remained in her memory upon awakening.

In the one dream, she was traveling in a hot air balloon, in a world so beautiful it could only be created in dreams. Cities were perched on mountainous clouds, with floating railways bringing gleeful citizens in and out. She hovered above the track, totally encompassed in this magical world she strangely knew to be called Empyrean. 

In another just as magical but not so happy dream, Gossamer found herself in a land of rolling hills and barren, scorched trees scattered here and there. It was dark, but he sky was illuminated. The color, however, on ground, almost seemed faded. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a white figure. She was possibly a faerie like me, or some similar creature. her dress was exactly like mine, but all white. In fact, she had no color anywhere... Just white. She started giggling, and I felt a tingling sensation spreading from the tip of my wing down. I looked up, and to my horror I saw the iridescent colors of my wings progressively fading away. How soon would it be till this... creature.. stole all of my color? 

Simiverse Lightning Round Entry

My apologies.  I've been totally neglecting this blog.  I could backtrack on some of my assignments but I'm limited in time (I need to nap for work.) BUUTT anyway I'll at least post the one I finished today for Simiverse.  Think Zombie apocalypse!

"And you said side effects were minimal in humans?"
"Yes. Mostly limited to some mood swings and increased appetite."
