Because I had to complete some jewelry then take pictures of it.
Can I just say: taking pictures of jewelry is fucking hard! I need a better lightbox or something. Or maybe just some classes on how to get all the yellow out of images.
Anyway, the fruits of all my labor:
These are called Inwood […]
Lots to do! Firstly, you should travel on over to the IAFAuction site and bid on some stuff. There’s plenty of stuff! Yesterday two new auctions went up, a jewelry set and a necklace. We only had one set sent to us for auction, and it’s really awesome. The earrings are worth the opening bid […]
This is a pretty sad Mother’s Day for me. All of my mothers are gone.
On the top row on the right is my Great-grandmother, Katie Bell Rembert (nee Finley). On the left is her daughter, my grandmother, Anna Ree Tidmore (nee Larkin). On the left in the second row is my mother, Marjorie T […]
Today’s Blog For A Beer is a bit different. I invited Mike Brotherton to expand and repost some commentary from his blog as a jumping off point for this week’s Fantasy Friday. It’s an experiment, we’ll see how it goes. The post is pretty interesting.
A conflict under these situations, pitting a logical scientific type against […]
Why it’s a necklace based on my story. Woo! And it’s really, really beautiful. The artist is Deborah J. Brannon and, much to my surprise, she says it’s the first necklace she’s ever made. Way to come charging out of the gate there…
Deborah is the author of one of the most […]
I finally have parts for my button machine again and so I am willing to take orders/suggestions for buttons. I’m even going to buy some color paper today to make the buttons stand out! Exciting.
If you would like a button or some buttons, all you have to do is tell me what you’d like it/them […]
I just got my final programming schedule and all of my panels are on Sunday! And now that the process is complete, it’s time to discuss the POC-only panel “Intra-POC Relationships & Coalition Building” that was first suggested in this thread. As discussed there and elsewhere, there are issues surrounding creating a POC-only […]
Remember last year when I was on 7 panels and did two readings plus organized a party? Yeah, I’m not doing that again this year. I am determined to enjoy myself by actually talking to people one on one and in small groups. I plan to attend parties and hang out with cool […]
Critcizing “dogpiles” as inherently “moblike,” destructive, negative, and childish without considering the content which has evoked this response has the same in-built political and structural issues as the demand that oppressed, discriminated, or harassed groups moderate their tone before their objections will be considered. Both actions attempt to codify behavior while treating speech content as […]
I know, this is very different from every other day of my life.
Today on Fantasy I have some commentary up about one of the things that annoy me about many fantasy stories and novels I have read:
…my biggest pet peeve is with stories and novels that lack specificity–specificity of place, time, culture, even ethnicity. The […]
You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm a famous blogger, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.
