The Hidden Legacy Series By Ilona Andrews Is Urban Fantasy Romance Crack.

I'm burnt out on people after Thanksgiving.

I really wish I had a setting between on and off.

Anyway, I'm going to finish up 4th row on the 7th house lungs.

Safety pins are my friend. But after thr fourth strand, I need to find a tape measure to get the lengths right..

I found the flicking pattern I've been trying to recreate for 2 months.

This is the technique for the 7th house

I should start work on it once I get back on meds and and able to concentrate on things

First I love being on my ADHD meds

Second, fuck the FDA and the state I live in fir making all ADHD drugs so hard to get. I do relize that they can be abused by nuritypicals ....but there has got to be a better solution then this.

Anyways on to better news.

My medicated ass.had an idea this moring....for the 7th,

I was always going to do a big drape lacy flowery daisy chain neckas for the 7th, but I just realized that instead of a simple.drape pattern I could use chain to make lungs

Here is my breif concept drawing....

The large rings in the drawing are the large hammered silver(plated) rings. The black lines forming the lungs will be out of the silver and green modified daisy chain.

The dotted lines will be out of fine silver chain. I'll have to purchase that

Here is the rough draft for the back and sides all out of silver chain. I don't think I will be able to get the efect of inflated lungs unless I create a secondary anchor chain around the back like a harness.

So now I need to plot out the mesuments for the lungs.....

These lovely pictures give me an approximate location and a size ratio I can measure on myself.

I may have to lie down on the floor and have my sister use a heavy cord to map put the shape....or better yet I could do that on her.

The other option is to use all those years of math to map out the archs I want on the images I found, to get actual measurements

Jeasus christ.....I just realized I'm trying to reinvent hanahaki

Oh well....I like it, it's going g to be so much work.

And not at all I my colors....

I'm so excited

As an update, I figure how do this lung without math!

I am going to make a mockup with the heavier thread I use with kumihimo.

And since I am now the pround owner of half a kilo of wisteria lined crystal, that's the color I'm uses. I used a grayish mauve and a bronze as a pattern so I can easily eye out 5, 10, 15, and twenty bead lengths.

I cal also take the raw materials and make turn then into necklaces with kumihimo

So the two hours of bead spinning was really for good use and my chose to drape instead of using math is compleatly normal

Stoll working on the third house scarf necklace. But I've been thinking of the other houses,

I still don't have all the material. I'm missing

Large Silver ring ringing for the 6th and the 7th house, which I have already ordered.

Size 6 frosted clear toho beads and size 6 opaque white matte sead beads for the base of the 8ths tenticals

Bone beads for the 9th

More size 11 wisteria lined crystal toho beads for the 3rd.

But I have the third and the first house with plenty of materials for now.

Also I think I finally decided on an idea for the ninth. Harrow and I are both nuroatypical. Harrow is autistic and I am adhd so we are not the same type of nuroatypical but one of the common overlaps between the two is STIMing and I think that's what I want to do for the ninth house. A necklace of mismatched materials and textures that allows the wearer to fight with it. Some of the beads will be carved bone. Other will be 3d peyote stitch. Some others will be metal. I want someone that feels scavenged by an adhd gremlin from other necklaces. I want it to be a Comfort under stress

My wife ordered these for my birthday and they finally came in this last week and they are so beautiful I don't even want to let them out of the bubble wrap

Last night, after work I ran downstairs with my 8ft of strung beads, 7 silver rings, medium weight cord and a box of safety pins to try and figure out the proportions of the 7th house lung necklace.

And I created a monstrosities that would have turned off any shabari enthusiast and horrified any punk.

But after an hour of fiddling, I created this.

Which allowed me to create this

The first colum is the label for each strand so I don't get confused. The second colum is the number of beads in each stand. As measured by a single strand of size 11 seed beads. And the third colum is that length in centimeters. It turned out that there are 20 size 11 sead beads in 5 centimeters so the math was easy.

I also created the strand with a 5, 10, and 20 could pattern so they would be easy to count.

Anyways, I did some math the sum of one side of lung is 259.75cm so the whole thing will be 519.5cm or a little over 5 meters....

I'm very excited!

Propaganda

Carmen Sevilla (La fierecilla domada/La mégère apprivoisée, La Venganza, King of Kings)— One of the few spanish actresses to really make it in Hollywood. She worked opposite Charlton Heston in the 1970s and reportedly slapped him but that is past the cut-off so you can look it up for yourselves. There's also rumors that Frank Sinatra had a bit of a crush on her and asked her out a couple of times but she rejected him. The woman was just messy as hell in general and an absolute icon. Bless.

Simone Simon (Cat People, La Bête Humaine, The Devil and Daniel Webster, The Curse of the Cat People)— If she turned in to a panther and ate me I would be fine with that

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

nothing lasts, really.

CLASSIC HORROR HEROINES SIMONE SIMON as Irena Dubrovna CAT PEOPLE (1942) dir. Jacques Tourneur I like the dark. It's friendly.

so so so so cute

one of simone simon's best remembered movies is cat people, one of jacques tourneur's great b-horror movies that's secretly a sensitive and tender examination of otherness, seriously i cry every time i watch it a short excerpt from cat people

She’s maybe not super well known to a lot of people but holy hell is she a stunner. I literally have her Cat People poster on my wall - she is amazing in that film, playing this tragic character (please go watch Cat People it’s this amazing tragic story of a foreign woman being caught up in a toxic relationship with a man who doesn’t believe her, plus cats). She’s so beautiful!! Look at her!!
