It's more than I can stand

[clevermanka]

Yesterday I was crafty for several hours. It felt good! The piece I'm working on is slow going, though. There's not a lot of detail to embellish, so I have to make stuff up and put texture and design where there isn't much to go on. Making stuff up isn't my strength. I can follow a pattern, or make fancy an existing design. I'm not so great with blank spaces. This is why I like doing those big altered portraits. There's lots of things to play with on a face. Not so much with a figure in the middle of a big background. Ah, well, artistic challenges are good.


Another good multifandom fake movie preview. Sherlock/Who.

I wish I could bring myself to watch Who, but I can't deal with the heartbreak.

I am, however, always interested in watching outstanding dance performances. And when an outstanding dance performance happens to be two men recreating the tango from Moulin Rouge, well...

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, RIGHT?

I was mesmerized by that dance. Oh, the leg-work!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I watched it three times in a row.

[blackdwarv.livejournal.com]

Who really isn't that heartbreaking... Well, a couple of episodes are. But for the most part, it's more horror/suspense then heartbreak.

Now, if you want real Son Meilleur for heartbreak... Being Human (UK, because the US version is rubbish.). Dear god, that show is good.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh well shit. I was thinking about checking out Being Human, based on the gifs I've seen on Tumblr. Okay, maybe not. Thanks for the warning. I've got all the heartbreak I need with Sherlock and Supernatural.

mckitterick wants to start watching Who, so I might get sucked in involuntarily. *sigh*

Ready your hankies if you can't avoid it. Stephen Moffat is a bastard.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Moffat is one of the reasons why I'm avoiding Who. I can stand it in Sherlock...mostly because there's just less Sherlock. But GOD I really can't stand Moffat's misogyny. Lord. It's worse than Supernatural's.

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

It's a time suck, too. Like my workmate said, one might not have time to add another geek property.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Good point.

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

I was so pissed off at Moffat about the transition from the Ponds to Clara, I would boycott the entire franchise if I didn't love Matt Smith so damn much.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I did *not* see that one arm lift coming!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

No. Kidding.

Imma go watch it again now.

[anomali.livejournal.com]

Those dancers are freakin' AWESOME!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aren't they just? Wow. WOW.

[shrijani.livejournal.com]

SWEET JESUS ETOUFFEE that dance was AMAZING.

I am having crafty times right now. I am working on a mixed media heart thing, working on a mixed media collage using some very, very old newspaper pages from my family horde, and making a mixed media collage using pages I tore out of the Bible I got when I was a fundamentalist for a short time when I was thirteen. I am using Ephesians and some maps. I have to put down layers with self-leveling gel, then let them dry for a long time, so advancing the projects takes a while.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I can't wait to see it!

I'm now done with mine, except for gluing it down to the canvas, which must wait until it's totally dry. So, this evening probably.

One great thing about the crackly paper in my old Bible is that it tears very neatly. :)

We'll have to have sharing time when our pieces are done! I would take progress shots, but they wouldn't be that interesting at the moment. I'm going to do some colored pencil drawings and cut those out for the foreground on each of my collages.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Lemme know if you ever wanna sort through my ephemera, stuff, too. God, I have too much of it.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

THAT DANCE! <3

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Just WOW.
