Swan Handled Umbrella

A little sketchbook painting. Oh, how i would love to have my own swan umbrella!

Ennui

Friday + Ouija Boards

Just lately, my friends and i have been getting into the Occult! (well, If you can call a glow-in-the-dark Hasbro ouija board occultish.)
I'm wary to say that I do believe in spirits, but it is hard to deny such things when the ouija board spelt my name after we attempted to call upon a deceased relative of mine. & then, to freak me out a little bit more:'love, love, love' the ouija board spelt out repeatedly. To top it all off, this seance of sorts took place well after midnight in a tree house platform next to an abandoned/haunted stable. I've heard of evil spirits haunting ouija purveyors long after the game board has been folded up and stashed under ones bed, but luckily, this did not happen to me. However, one of out circle has had a week full of exploding rubbish bins and missing objects. Haunted? I wonder.
If you have any creepy stories concerning ghosts or ouija boards, i would love to hear about it. I Find this kind of thing extremely captivating.

Divorce of Lady X.
directed by Tim Whelan (1938).
starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier.


This film boasts one of the most beautiful colour palettes i have ever seen. Not to mention the superb sets! someone rewind me into the past, please. 
(I'm particularly fond of the way that technicolor jewels sparkle.)

adorned with gold

This Little Piggy was held at china heights over the weekend, and here are the three girls which i created especially for the show. Each girl is adorned with golden glitter - highlighted- crowned - gilded. Regal royalty.

(If you are interested in purchasing one of these, please send me an email. caitlin.shhh@hotmail.com)

It seems that each time i attend an art opening, the weather gods seem to want to spoil things, and the temperature escalates above boiling point, leaving everyone frazzled and wiping perspiring brows. Despite the heat, it was a fabulous night full of sweet people and cider and pig themed pictures.

(as you can see, i'm probably becoming too obsessed with black and white movies, as these names are appropriated from some very lovely starlets.)
