Watcher, Part Twelve

Hummmm, working on some big changes today. Won't talk about that for a while. I had opened Breast of all things, with possibly the last chapter in mind. I'm finishing a lot of my BJ fiction. I want to maybe not have as much in future. I might also be selling some of my hand made bowls in future since I've been asked. Have to see. It would be first come, first served as each bowl is unique.

I love this snippet from an interview from Gale here:

At this point, some other "journalist" crashes our little chat and remarks that Brian Kinney "could have been straight or gay." I love Gale's response: "No, I think he could never have been straight. I mean, the guy was absolutely homosexual. It was part of what was interesting about playing him. He was what he was. He was, essentially, an absolutely-realized gay man living with no boundaries." Link to the interview here.

Artisan's Market pic spam  
I was out for most of the day yesterday. First, I had to take my Sheltie out for shots and then had a short breakfast and coffee in North Vancouver. While there, we stopped by and discovered my Mom was all on her own since my father had gone sailing for the week with friends. We were going over to Granville Island to get the final supplies for my velvet devore burn out project and I also wanted to get more beautiful papers for my bowl making.

Took Mom with us. She has pretty bad arthritis and can't walk too far, but she really enjoyed the day, I think.



The first picture is of old Indian wood blocks for printing fabrics. I went through the wooden bowls and chose a beautiful paisley pattern. The second is just a view of the Japanese paper shop where I buy my supplies. It was funny being there yesterday since it was insane with tourists. Like being in Europe in high season or something. One Texas guy was saying to his wife, "Are you planning on wallpapering the whole state when we get home?" LOL! She was buying a lot.

While there I went through the drawers of handmade papers for bowl supplies and found a tiny capa shell box from Japan with these pretty birds on it. It's darling, so I had to buy that.

We went into the food market and bought feta, figs, blueberries and lavender honey and met up with someone who used to work with my husband. She takes the most amazing photographs. She gave us one on the house with an old barnacle-covered glass bottle washed up on on the sandy beach. It's lovely. Have to frame that for my husband's office.



This is the walk back to our car past condos that float on water. I've always wanted to live in one of these buildings. :sigh:



And more of the walk back to the car. See the palm trees? This is why it amuses me when people assume I live in an igloo or something because I'm in Canada. We have milder winters than most of the U.S. and Canada. It just rains a lot.

I hope to do something creative soon. I will put up pictures sometime of the papers I bought and maybe when I receive the stencils from France (knock on wood), the stages of the burn out velvet project. I'm going to have to lay down those curtains on my hardwood floor in my living room as a work surface. That's also where I grouted my outdoor mosaic table a couple of years ago, over spread out green garbage bags. ^^

Spicing Things Up

Darn, I forgot to put up these awards again so I'm reposting this link. But it would be ungracious not to thank all buffy readers for voting one of my Buffy communities and my AU The Woods for these awards. Thank you. They are all the same so I sized them down to quite small.

The Woods was an AU about a single father who moves to the Pacific Northwest with his young son. On his first night in his new home, a teenager disappears near his house and he clashes with the local sheriff in charge of the case.

Couldn't sleep last night so I found myself over on [info]marilla_pm67's site searching for the right screen cap to make a banner for this one shot. I needed to take a break from on going story and went back to this series, which I hadn't done for a long time.

Oh, yeah, I was looking through this list that [info]flamencanyc made up of toppy!Justin stories, so that's where the desire came from to do another. If you hadn't seen it: here.

I loved writing this story. The comments stand out for this one. I hadn't intended it be a paranormal, but readers mentioned they thought it would be cool...and some of you brought up the wonderful Buffy episode from season two, "I Only Have Eyes for You..."

I hope you enjoy the last chapter of Good Hands.

Tea room pic spam and dream thoughts  
I went to the tea gallery yesterday with my parents for lunch and while there took some photographs. I love going there and trying out the different exotic teas. This is where we sat (I love the display with the Moroccan tea pots--so appealing to my design sense). There is also a picture into the tea room's interesting interior. At the moment they have carved wooden Buddha statues and African lighting for sale. Click on the thumbnails to make them full-sized.



I was asked for close ups of the bowls I make when I did my last pic spam. This is a bowl that was actually smashed three years ago in my move. It was cracked and so was kind of useless. After we fixed up the craft cabinet, I had access to my supplies and repaired it. I made the repair visible and part of the design. First using plain paper underneath to repair the crack and then applying Japanese silver paper as a startling feature in the bronze inside of the bowl. It looks fabulous, I think, and since it was one of my favorite bowls, it's nice it's not a write-off.



Furri asked me to put up pictures of some Japanese tea things I bought. The cream and sugar with the purple inside and the flat blue tea cup which I put pink flowers from my topiary tree into. The rest are more of my hand made bowls which I used to sell in galleries. The large blue zen bowl and small zen bowl and one turned upside down to show the gold and white exterior.

I'm working on a bit of An Unsuitable man for the next prompt. And thanks to a phone call from [info]sexy_pumpkin, I came up with an idea for the next challenge on [info]neverenough_bj and wrote the prologue--it's really different. Furri even made a really cool banner for it. It will (probably) go up on Sunday, which is when that challenge kicks off.

Newly finished spaces  
The weather here for two weeks was chilly and rainy, so I suppose that's what put me in the mood to do some redecorating. It only warmed up yesterday and now it's sunny, but very windy.

Click on the thumbnails to make them full-sized.

So we reorganized our walk in closet in the bedroom and placed our large chest of drawers in there. This was a long, drawn out thing, which also involved repainting walls and taking down things and shuffling them around.

The first is my glass altar table. I put on another long silk runner I made to replace the other one for a while which is chains of retro squares and placed my shell collection in the bowl. The new twig lamp from Ikea is sitting on the glass. Next to the table is the new cabinet which we placed at an angle in the corner.



This is the new cabinet in the bedroom. If it looks a bit boutiquey, that's because I did so many layouts in high end shops over the years. But I like the uncluttered look. My teapots migrated there, lol. And also I placed a zen paper mache bowl I made by hand in there out of tree bark and shiny blue wedding wrapping paper. The hanging on the side is yellow roses printed on velvet by a San Francisco artist. Years ago, I bought it for my mother-in-law. When she died of cancer, I took it for my home.



The other space we redid was the storage/laundry room off the kitchen. It's a very small space and wasn't being maximized. My dyes, mosaics, and other supplies were in a box where it was hard to access them, so this cabinet is for them. It is pretty floral etched glass. Up top, you can see more of my hand made bowls, something I want to start doing again now I have the supplies at hand. Also, Furri gave me the fantasy calendar for the holidays you can see to the side.
