For all The Walking Dead fans out there.
This is the dead-end alley where in season 6, episode 3, the dumpster attack took place. Someone actually marked the spot where "Glenn" "died".
I wish I could watch this show, I love that it is filmed in Georgia and I am familiar with some of the filming locations. I tried many times, but I can't take it. I just can't. It's too much.

Inspiration location: Washington Coast, USA.
I am directly inspired by the Washington Coast. It is a place where I can sit and truly have my mind and all the chatter quiet down. It is my meditation. Whether I am sitting and looking at rocks for days on end or just to randomly curl up and take a nap with the sound of the waves in the background... The fresh air and the salty smells of the ocean...my blissss....

Lukas: *holds open the door* “The magnificent turkey has arrived!”
Yuri (teasingly): “Darling, please stop referring to yourself in the first person. It is rather gauche.”
Lukas (deadpan): “Humor. Ha.”
Everyone: *stops and looks towards the door with varying degrees of anticipation*
Yuri: *slowly walks towards the table, carefully balancing the godfather of all gobblers*
Candy: “Wow, it’s as if that turkey ate up all the other turkeys before being sacrificed to the Thanksgiving gods for today’s dinner.”
Danny (reverently): “It’s a vision…*places hand over heart* The most beautiful thing I’ve seen since Can in her wedding gown.”
Candy: *smacks him on the shoulder, laughing* “Careful, or you’ll top more than just Luke’s kill list.”
Lukas: *feigns shock* “What? Who told y’all about my kill list?”
Kumi: *pats the table next to her, eyes bright with avarice, croons* “Sit that butterball right here, Ri-Ri. Riiiiight here.”
Simon: “It does look rather tasty and smells even better. Maybe I will try some after all…*mischievously* Is it too late to bagsie a drumstick?”
Kumi & Danny: *not taking their eyes off the bird, in unison* “Do it and die, British!”
Candy & Simon: *exchange amused glances, in unison* “Military school.”
Yuri: *lowers the bird to the table* “Happy Thanksgiving, darlings!”
Everyone: “Happy Thanksgiving!”
To be continued on a Tuesday sometime in the future…
Wishing all my fellow Americans a blessed and bountiful Thanksgiving, and to everyone else, a blessed and bountiful rest o’ the week!

"Look at THAT! Taking it like a CHAMP!"
In honor of Negan being officially introduced on the show, I decided to make this little figure of him. Enjoy!
(The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale Thoughts)
Okay, so it was a pretty awesome episode, but honestly...I'm super pissed at AMC, the writers, or whoever else was a part of the editing or final scene...The biggest moment in Walking Dead History...And you end on a cliffhanger. I was really mad when the screen cut to black last night and I don't even care who got the bat at this point. I don't want to wait 7 months to see who died in the finale, that's just stupid. Negan was great, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was great as him, and that final scene was great...But the amazing scene was cut short and was kind of ruined because of the cliffhanger in my opinion...Also, I don't feel like they used the 90 minutes as wisely as they should have to be honest. A lot of the episode was just leading up to Negan and the character death, but we didn't even get to see who died. I feel like it all led up to nothing. Very disappointing. Overall, I'll give this episode an 7/10 (would've been a 9/10 or 10/10 if it wasn't for that cliffhanger) By the way, who do you guys think got the bat? Personally, I still think it was Daryl.
Anyway, here's a link to that awesome ending scene if you want to watch it again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_P6Y-WkvF4
That's all for now... :)
A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silence, silence.
This is my final fit,
my final bellyache
with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.
No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please.

Theme: Create a Complimentary Look
Description: this weeks challenge was to make a complimentary piece of jewelry that resonated with a favorite piece that you made previously from this seasons EMJC--PR challenges.
Companion Look: Pieces of Earth 1/Pick-a-Place Challenge
When I saw this weeks challenge I was still very excited about last weeks challenge. So I made a feminine version of last weeks more masculine feeling beachstone ring. Since the beginning I have always worked with beachstones and river rocks and the last 2 weeks have given me a refreshing new outlook for my beachstone future. The weekly challenges somehow give me a more spontaneous freedom to make things as well as pushing myself in a new way. I have enjoyed every single one and am grateful for all these exercises.
*Please go to our EtsyMetal Blog to see all of this weeks fantastic entries!

"I hate you!"
"But I don't. Not anymore."
This is my fourth tribute to "Once Upon a Time" TV series and second tribute to Regina Mills aka The Evil Queen (here is the previous tribute). OUAT is a story about a modern city where everyone actually is a fairytale character, with a lot of twists, cliffhangers, magic and drama. I'm hoping to build a few more scenes for a few other characters and that would be a wrap on my OUAT project.
As I said in my previous tribute, Regina is my favorite character from the series. Her character arc was not just about redeeming herself after being the Evil Queen and becoming part of heroes team and family, but about stopping to hate herself for all the evil things she have done in the past. I consider her (and not Rumplestiltskin, who undoubtedly was more evil in the series) the show's best example of a theme that even villains can get happy endings.
Of course, since Lego finally released a red heart, I knew I should do a scene with ripping someone's heart out, but which scene? Not just the Evil Queen did it, of course, but once it was kind of hers (and also her mother's) signature magic ability, so obviously she should do it. And what could be a better scene than the one in which she finally fully accepts herself with all of her darkness?
SPOILER ALERT!!!
In season 6 Regina tried to get rid of her inner darkness using the serum that Dr. Jekyll created to separate himself from Mr. Hyde (it ended really bad), and doing so she ended up splitting herself in two, literally creating her evil twin - the Evil Queen (serum version), and Regina intended to kill her. In the end of the season, after the literal battle with herself she ripped out the Evil Queen's heart (mostly black) and then realised that is not the way, and instead of crushing it, Regina ripped out her own heart (pure red) as well and let both hearts to take equal amount of light and darkness before returning them back to the Evil Queen and herself.
"And now I love myself."
Basically that means that she restored her own heart to be exactly what it was before she used serum, but now there are two Reginas - the original Regina and serum Evil Queen, and both are equally good and evil (so the second Evil Queen will help the heroes later in the season finale). Oh, but there are also the third Evil Queen from the Wish Realm, which was created when the serum Evil Queen used her first wish of the magical lamp to grant Emma Swan's wish of having never been the Savior, which created a whole parallel world, containing parallel personas of the Enchanted Forest characters. The same realm where second Captain Hook and his daughter is from, but that's the story for another time. Yeah, I know it sounds complicated, but the series was brilliant! :)
I really take a lot of effort to recreate the Storybrooke Town Hall (also known as mayor Regina's office) where the battle took place. The pattern on the floor was extremely hard to do, because I don't have neither white tiles, nor gray plates, so I had to carefully stuck gray tiles between white plates, keeping them in the right shape of the pattern. It would be much easier if I had aforementioned parts, but since we don't have the LUGBULK and Pick-a-Brick anymore, I'm fine building with what I have. There are also the shards of the mirror on the floor, and one of them is a piece with an actual mirror sticker from one set.

This weeks Jewlery Challenge was about "newspaper."
We had to build a piece that incorporated newspaper or book newsprint. Mine just happened to be Asian print :)
With this piece, I pretty much worked this one as I went. It is made of pages from an Asian book. I lightly whitewashed and glued the cutouts, burnt, painted, stamped, laminated, riveted and then attached to a copper plated steel bracelet.
I started out thinking 'ginko leaves', then as I was making the pieces I decided against a green wash as it was reminding me more of the beautiful fungi that grows on trees, espescially more after I put it on my wrist.
I would love to do this again with a dirent intention of it being even more like the fungi to begin with.

Charley: “Right back atcha…*unwraps a lozenge* You want one? They’re more like herbal candies than medicine.”
Kumi: “Sure.”
Charley: *tosses Kumi a lozenge, hesitantly* “Um, can I ask you something? At least I know you’ll give me a ruthlessly honest answer.”
Kumi: *shrugs, as she pops a candy into her mouth*
Charley: “Do you think someone can be in love with two people at once?”
Kumi: *nods decisively* “Absolutely.”
Charley: “Do you think that someone is a bad person, if they are?”
Kumi: *shakes head* “Nah. Human emotions are complex bitches. You can't always control ‘em. All you can control is how you act—or don’t act--on them. So, no, I don’t think being in love with two people makes you bad, but it does make you unlucky.”
Charley: “Unlucky?”
Kumi: “Yeah, because no one’s walking away from that mess unscathed. Love’s a battlefield, so sayeth Joan Jett.”
Charley: “Pat Benatar, not Joan Jett.”
Kumi: “You sure?”
Charley: “Uh, music’s my life. Yeah, I’m sure. Do I ever question your authority on overpriced shoes?”
Kumi: “Touché.”
Charley: “So, have you ever been in love with two guys at once?”
Kumi: “Nope. Simon is it for me, but in all fairness to the guys who came before him, I was determined never to fall in love. After watching my daddy suffer in the wake of our mom’s death, I never wanted to be that vulnerable. But Simon had different plans, and he is unstoppable when it suits him—like a force of nature. Also, sneaky. The man gets his way by making you think you’re getting yours.”
Charley: “Well, he’d have to be all that and more, to go toe-to-toe with you on a daily basis.”
Kumi: “You know it. I’m a handful. However, just because I haven’t loved two men at once, doesn’t mean I can’t comprehend the impossibility of the situation. All I have to do is imagine there are two Simons, and I have to choose one...*looks uncomfortable* It makes me squirrely inside to think about it, actually.”
Charley: *sits quietly for several moments, deep in thought, offhandedly* “I’ve never seen you so serious. It’s bizarre. And unlucky is a really good way to put it. Being unlucky sucks.”
Kumi: “Yeah, it does, which is why I answered your question sans my characteristic sassy charm and sparkling wit. Serious questions deserve serious answers.”
Charley (incredulously): “‘Sassy charm’? ‘Sparking wit’? What were you smokin’ before you came over here…and can I have some?”
Kumi: “I’m high on life, baby…and sugar fumes, which reminds me, I have something for you.” *pulls a check out of her pocket, tosses it to Charley*
Charley: *picks it up, looks at it, mouth drops open…closes mouth, looks at check again, mouth drops open*
Kumi: “How long you gonna do that? You look like a nutcracker waiting on a pecan.”
Charley *strangles out* “Kumi, did you accidently add a couple of extra zeros to this?”
Kumi: “Nope.”
Charley: *babbles* “I may need to sit down. Wait, I’m already sitting down. Am I still delirious? I thought I got over that last night.”
Kumi: “You’re not delirious.”
Charley (faintly): “How…? Why…?”
Kumi: *wicked smile* “How: I make bank. Why: I like cake. A lot.”
Charley: “I love you.”
Kumi: *smirks* “What a coincidence. I love me, too.”
Charley: *drawls* “Uh, yeah…I was talking to the check, but whatever."
To be continued on a Tuesday in the (hopefully) not too distant future…

Charley: “Did not!”
Diego: “The element of surprise is the only—”
Charley: *rolls eyes and talks over Diego* “Advantage I’m going to have in most altercations where an opponent is bigger and stronger than I am. I know, I know.”
Diego: *shrugs, as he drains the last of his milk* “If you know, then that makes you an even bigger dumbass for not employing that knowledge in a meaningful way. Do you want to start sparring again and work out the rust?”
Charley *face infuses with eagerness* “Yeah, that’d be great…*expression suddenly dims* but, um, I’m not sure how cool Dane would be with you and me rolling around together, albeit clothed…”
Diego: *sneers* “He wouldn’t be ‘cool’ with it at all, Bug, but if you’d rather sacrifice your ability to defend yourself from the boogiemen that you know are out there, so your boyfriend doesn’t feel uncomfortable, that’s your call.”
Charley: *crosses arms* “Unfair. You know when we spar things tend to get a little…out of hand.”
Diego: “Actually, just the opposite. The times when we spar are the times I get to experience what an enticing handful you really are…” *meets Charley’s eye with a heavy-lidded stare, ghost of a smile on his lips*
Charley: *uncrosses her arms and quickly looks away, voice low* “Um…change the subject, please.”
Diego: “Okay. Molly and I are moving out.”
Charley: *sits up straight, voice shrill* “What? I don’t want that!”
Diego: “We can’t stay here, Bug. It’s messing with Grey’s mind. I mean, Molly doesn’t have to go, but I do.”
Charley: “Molly won’t stay without you.”
Diego: *shrugs helplessly*
Charley: *suddenly on the brink of tears, before pulling it together, gruffly* “Whatever. Do what you want. I don’t care.”
Diego: “I thought you’d be relieved. Having us here has caused you some serious strife. All your new, shiny friends are speculating about us, wondering what we are to you.”
Charley (fiercely): “You’re my family. If they want to know, all they have to do is ask. I’m not ashamed of you and Molls. I’m proud.”
Diego: “Proud, huh?”
Charley: “Always. And if you’ve doubted that for one second since you got here, then you’re dumber than you look, Dingo-ling.”
Diego: *eyes alight with pleasure, though his mien stays impassive* “We’re not going back to Ohio. We’re going to stay with Bish. He lives here now. He’s got the space, so he’s cool with Molls and me bunking down.”
Charley (surprised): “I didn’t know Bishop had moved to the city. When?”

[ZELENA]
Finally the moment I was hoping would come
The moment he would realize he chose the wrong one
There isn't any curse I could cast to match this feeling
The pain I knew when Rumple turned his back on my heart
At last will be Regina's when her life falls apart
Suddenly the future's looking more appealing
Once I was filled with rage
Now I enjoy the ride
It's so electrifying
Watching all her dreams denied
Oh I will fly into tomorrow
My sister full of sorrow
Finally paying for her sins
I'll smile all the while she is crying
Inside she's slowly dying
Learning wicked always wins
Oh evil may be powerful
But wicked always wins
If mom could see me now she would ache with regret
Cause she'd witness all the glory wickedness gets
She went and made Regina queen and my blood boil
But that's all history
Time they all understood
What they call "green with envy"
I just call "looking good"
Oh I will fly into tomorrow
My sister full of sorrow
Finally paying for her sins
This strife, her life was so enchanted
She took it all for granted
Now she'll dream of could have beens
Oh evil may be powerful
But wicked always
[ZELENA, spoken]
Wait, why just revel in her demise?
When I can use it to my advantage
[ZELENA]
I'll give her a magic gift to bring The Charmings down
When Regina stands victorious
I'll swoop right into town
When he learns the spell was mine
Oh Rumple he will see
He should have chosen me
So I will fly into tomorrow
Delighting in her sorrow
As a better day begins
This time nobody's gonna stop me
No evil's gonna top me
Oh wicked always wins
A happy ending will be mine
Cause wicked always wins
This is my second tribute (here's the first) to one of my all-time favorite TV series - "Once Upon a Time", a story about a modern city where everyone actually is a fairytale character, with a lot of twists, cliffhangers, magic and drama. I hope to build eventually all of my favorite characters from OUAT as the minifigures, but this project will take much time so stay tuned.
SPOILER ALERT!
This is a tribute to Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West (also known as Kelly West in Storybrooke). When I watched seasons 1-4 back in 2014, for a long time I disliked her - she was trying to kill my other favorite characters, and I don't mean just Emma (every villain is after the Savior, after all), no, I was extremely pissed off because she made Rumplestiltskin her pawn (poor Belle! poor Neal!), and she was trying to destroy the happiness of her sister Regina/the Evil Queen. But in later seasons, which I finally watched this year, Zelena become more sympathetic and complicated character, and as long as she started to be good to Regina, I immediately started rooting for her to become the next redeemed villainess. I was so happy when they finally become the real sisters to each other and also made peace with their mother (who was another villainess), it was an wholesome moment, one of the highlights of the season.
Also when she was evil I was creeped out by her attempts to seduce Robin Hood, and hated her when she finally succeded, and I was not a fan of this plot of "Wicked Witch wants a baby", so initially I disliked the baby as well, but then it turned out other evil forces are coming for that baby, and good characters were still mad at Zelena for what she did, so I was worried for them. Luckily, the later seasons included some time-lapse, so the next time we'll see baby Robin she's a late teenager, and she's cool! Totally not a wasted character! :)
For the character tributes I decided to pick a few (best) songs from the episode, where in the past the wish upon a star accidentally made everyone in the Enchanted forest to sing (and it was both hilarious and epic). Zelena's song is something really worth to listen - she sings about watching the sufferings of her sister, but she sings it SO HAPILLY, like it's a Broadway-type song of wanting to go at the prom or something like that. xD Also she scared the hell out of Munchkins during this one (without even interrupting her happy singing!), and it was HILARIOUS!
Also, for context, she meant that Rumplestiltskin was going to teach her as his best apprentice, but he chose Regina instead (despite the fact that Zelena is actually more powerful), and her mother also made Regina, the younger daughter, the heir, and not an abandoned older daughter Zelena. No wonder poor Zelena was feeling so alone the whole life and taking such great length to be loved... But as I said, it turned out well in the end, she was finally happy with her sister and her daughter Robin. :)
You can watch the scene here:

I hope you'll like my small Emerald City on the horizon, I'm really proud of this one. ;)
Bonus Snap:
The band finally gets down to some actual practicing. Mundane fact: This is the first photo of Danny’s band, Lizzie Borden, with all its members together.

Kumi: “I seriously like this girl—and not just because she’s saying things that I agree with…I also like her shoes. Fletch, can I come to dinner, too?”
Yuri: *glances at Lukas, expression quizzical*
Lukas: *sighs, thoughts of an intimate dinner for two morphing into a boisterous dinner for six* “Yeah, I could go for some pizza, too.”
Yuri: *beams at Lukas, as she takes his hand* “Pizza sounds splendid!”
Fletcher: “The more the merrier, assuming it’s okay with Molly and Diego.”
Molly: *nods, clapping her hands in glee*
Diego: “Whatever. Do supermodels even eat?”
Everyone, except for Diego and Molly: *erupt into laughter*
Kumi: *cracks her knuckles, face smug* “This one does. Watch in awe, Crude-n-Brood. It’s about to get real up in here.”
Fletcher: “I say we put the newbs by Tater at dinner. That way they’ll get a front row seat, and the rest of us may actually get to eat our own meals for a change.”
Lukas: *nods, turns to Molly and Diego* “Fair warning, she will steal food off your plate and out of your hand. It’s not safe until it’s in your mouth…and unless you’ve chewed it, maybe not even then.”
Molly: *signs, while making a pitiful face*
Diego: *translates* “‘Surely she wouldn’t steal from a poor, malnourished deaf girl…’”
Kumi: “Aw, your naiveté is sweet, honey, but make no mistake: I’m gonna steal you blind to go along with the deaf. You’re gonna be one hungry Helen Keller before I’m finished.”
Molly: *mouth drops open, face expressing a universal* “Whaaaaaa-?”
Diego: *shakes his head* “Wow. You’re as offensive as I am.”
Kumi: “Yeah, I know. Why do you think Yuri likes you? You remind her of me.”
Yuri (warmly): “Correct.”
Diego: *impassive expression fissures, showing disbelief underneath* “Hold on a minute. I remind you of…*thrusts his thumb towards Kumi*…that?”
Yuri: “Indeed.”
Molly: *covers her mouth, snickering heartily*
Diego (sarcastically): “Thanks so much.”
Yuri & Kumi (in unison): “You are/You’re welcome!”
Diego: “Sarcasm: a concept clearly lost on you people.”
Yuri: “You are mistaken. We understand it fine—”
Kumi: “—but, like respect for other people’s privacy, we choose to ignore it whenever it suits us.”
Diego (disgustedly): “Fantastic.”
Kumi: “Yep!”
Yuri: “We most certainly are. How kind, if a bit obvious, of you to say, darling.”
Yuri & Kumi (in unison): “Thank you.”
