Aaron J. Groen

May 5th, 2013

Take me to these places…I want to stargaze and be alone with my thoughts…

Aaron J Groen juxtaposes the gorgeous vastness of the universe with transient human creations, subject to decay in what amounts to less than the proverbial blink of the universal eye.

The things we construct in this lifetime are of little grand consequence, yet they are everything to us. How can anyone not be awestruck when the makings of human life are set against a backdrop of the cosmos?

From Major to Minor

May 4th, 2013

I have a bit of problem. I only feel “at home” with minor key songs. Thus, I feel most…if not all…major key tunes should be given THIS treatment.

If you know of any other projects like this (or do it yourself and take requests), please share!

Vintage Diving Suits Part 2

May 3rd, 2013

I’ve posted about some vintage diving suits before. Here’s another installment of a few beauties…great for those days when one is feeling a tad body conscious.

Mysterious Stranger

May 2nd, 2013

This rather horrifying chunk of stop motion surrealism was hidden in the recesses of my mind until my wonderful friend Casey reminded me of it (thanks, Casey!)…

Mother Eagle Embroidery

May 1st, 2013

You won’t find me embroidering daisies and picnic baskets onto my linens. Mother Eagle is really more my style.

How gorgeous is this miniature silk ribcage on a handmade lace cotton panel?

All kinds of anatomical (and other) fine treats to be found in her collection of work…

She places some of her tiny pieces in jewelry as well.

Have a look…

From Villafane Studios:

Incredible idea!

I may be trying my hand at a diorama pumpkin this year…

Artist for these next ones, anyone?

HA!

Halfway to Halloween Countdown: Halloween Hot Sauce

April 28th, 2013

Everything is better with a bit o’ Halloween involved, and hot sauce is no exception. So I bring you Halloween Hot Sauce.

I am high in the running for World’s Biggest Wuss when it comes to spicy food, so I’m a Spider Venom kinda girl.

Do you like your hot sauce haunted?

Halfway to Halloween Countdown: My Pet Ghost

April 27th, 2013

For super cheesy Halloween fare, I must admit Hallmark’s My Pet Ghost series is pretty neat.

My favorite is Maxwell McSpooky…the MAD SCIENTIST.

The bottle appears empty, until you push a button (not me in this video):

Halfway to Halloween Countdown: Yankee Candle Boney Bunch

April 26th, 2013

We’re almost halfway to Halloween…who wants to celebrate?

HOW could I be such a die hard Halloween fan and have known nothing about the Yankee Candle Boney Bunch characters until finding them in an image search this year?

What an adorable collection of candle holders, figurines and other household decorative items!

And even if you don’t use them on a cake, I happen to think these happy newlyweds (newlydeads?) would make for an excellent wedding proposal (if you can’t invest in a Zombie Fortune Teller for your sweetie with spooky leanings).

Anyone have the Boney Bunch?
