I think you will love this work by Junior Fritz Jacquet, done with toilet paper rolls.

Thank you all. This week, I bring the strength you gave me on my crazy journey…
It’s all the color I haven’t worn in 25 years…perfect with my standard black, no?

Many of us are no doubt aware of the fantastical Victorian taxidermy vignettes of Walter Potter, even if his name is not on our tongues. His Museum of Curiosities closed nearly four decades ago, and the collection was sold off in recent years. “Mr Potter started his collection at the age of 19 when his canary died and he dissected the bird before stuffing it for display in the family summer house. His family kept his museum in Bramber, Sussex open after his death in 1918.”
The link to an article on the “recreation” of Potter’s museum for a limited exhibit has some wonderful images. We hope the ones below will whet your interest.

Risa Mehmet’s art smacks of this blog. Her Flickr Photoset may keep you occupied for a while. Enjoy!

And now a little installment of DG before I go down the medical rabbit hole for an indeterminate period of time.
Man, Edmund’s been talking for a LONG time.
Start ’em young.
Gorgeous vintage Vogue cover by Salvador Dali.
THINK your way to visible virility!
Very little info on this, but wow…
What puffer cake has seen cannot be unseen.
I love this because the skeleton can either be reaching for OR releasing the heart, depending on the eye of the beholder.

If a higher power exists, I’m sure it speaks through cats exclusively, actually.

I wish this were an actual vintage piece.
Tip from the SheWalksSoftly school of psychology: If someone hurts your feelings, sending a greeting card with one of the worst puns on earth is not likely to remedy the relationship.
Now, let’s everybody hope that the doctors have an ALL CHOCOLATE treatment planned for me next week.

Hey folks…I’m about to check into the hospital (this Tuesday) for at least a week to undergo an experimental intravenous treatment. We hope to halt (and start reversing) the process by which my central nervous system has slowly and painfully crippled me over the past number of years.
I’ve seen incredible acts of love and kindness take place through the internet. As an insatiably curious person, a student of psychophysiology and firm believer in the principles of quantum nonlocality, it is my opinion that our thoughts and energy do indeed affect physical matter.
Hospitals can be grim, tragic places, filled with hopelessness and protective stoicism. As I know from experience, that environment can knock the spark right out of the bravest among us. But I plan to embark on this treatment with nothing less than total positivity.
I humbly ask for a small quantum favor. Please take a moment to concentrate some good energy on the greatest possible outcome in the days to follow. This can come in any form you feel comfortable with: a wish, a phrase, a vision of health, a prayer to a particular God, or to the universe. I ask for a moment of your grace to help me through the eye of the needle so I may emerge a renewed inhabitant of a body that has done its best to destroy me.
The power of intention can work in wondrous ways. Who knows? Your mere moments of kindness may help save a life…a life I will spend paying it forward with my whole heart as a healer, empath and artist.
If you choose to take part in this little energy exchange, feel free to leave a comment and let me know so I can actively send my gratitude. Or do so anonymously, forward or post this somewhere…it’s all good! Oh, and if you’d like to pick a color below, I’m going to put a string on my wrist for each person who agrees to send me some positivity during this journey next week…something I can look at as a tangible reminder.
I have daily automated posts ready for my absence, so please keep visiting!
Many more adventures, arts and oddities await us, my friends! Through the eye of the needle I go…

What do you mean it’s not Halloween season quite yet? We don’t say that here at SWS. Halloween is ALWAYS welcome.
I stumbled across these miniatures by Betsy Niederer, clearly done with an expert hand, and found a stash of over 600 photos containing all varieties of treats made in 12th scale. I’m going to show you Halloween oriented examples, simply because I feel like it.
Check out these incredible (in)edibles!

This mask caught my attention immediately.
It reminds me of J.E. Larson’s amazing illustrations (Mr. Larson is actually taking commissions at the moment. Act fast!)
It begins…
