I'm not at all sure I've done justice to Georgie's achingly beautiful beads here. I actually felt guilty teaming them with my lowly polymer clay beads, but the colours matched so perfectly! Ah well, I can always break it down and try again! Lampwork glass, polymer clay, crystals, magatamas (yay for magatamas!) and silver.

At first I thought of the shape of the top balloon as a gigantic creature, maybe an elephant. Then I thought it was a definite anthropomorphical animal. Then, this song started playing in my head, an old favorite from Shriekback, an alternative group with a dance beat from the early 90's.
"Big Black Nemesis"
Shriekback
(lyrics found on the Hellblazer blog here:

In a jungle of the senses
Tinkerbell and Jack the ripper
Love has no meaning, not where they come from
But we know pleasure is not that simple
Very little fruit is forbidden
Sometimes we wobble, sometimes we're strong
But you know evil is an exact science
Being carefully correctly wrong
Chorus
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big Black Nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle as the dead come home
We feel like Greeks, we feel like Romans
Centaurs and monkeys just cluster round us
We drink elixirs that we refine
from the juices of the dying
We are no monsters, we're moral people
and yet we have the strength to do this
This is the splendour of our achievement
Call in the airstrike with a poison kiss
Chorus
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No-one move a muscle as the dead come home
How bad it gets, you can't imagine
the burning wax, the breath of reptiles
god is not mocked, he knows our business
Karma could take us at any moment
Cover him up.....I think we're finished
You know it's never been so exotic
but I don't know, my dreams are visions
We could still end up with the great big fishes
Chorus
Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy as the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No-one move a muscle as the dead come home
The Virginia Beach Office of Cultural Affairs and the Department of Parks and Recreation have joined forces again for three new mural projects. Great Neck, Bayside and Princess Anne Community Recreation Centers were in search of the perfect artist to transform their blank entryway walls into beautiful murals reflecting the spirit of each community.
Rosemarie Spracklin, whose mural was painted at Great Neck Recreation Center. Rosemarie is a Virginia Beach resident who has painted murals for Elixir Sensory Gallery in Hampton and at the non-profit creative art studio, Utopia Feni in Virginia Beach.
“My idea originates from relatable experiences of my attraction to continuously live here — the ocean. My father was a ShellBack Sailor, and in dedication to him, and for those who serve(d), I immediately thought of a turtle, as it is depicted in Neptune’s hand at our oceanfront’s renown landmark off 31st Street. I used to pretend to be a mermaid, myself, whenever I swam at the recreation center.”
Aimee Bruce, whose mural will be painted at Princess Anne Recreation Center. The Norfolk resident painted the “Helping Hands” mural on the stairway at Mount Trashmore last year. She also has murals in Norfolk’s NEON district and in Portsmouth and was co-creator of the 2018 Nauticus Magenta Line Pier Mural.
“When I was a kid, I had a membership to the old Kempsville Recreation Center. I remember the excitement of meeting new and familiar faces along with the enjoyment of being physically active. If chosen, I hope to create something that can inspire others to go the extra mile in their endeavors.”
Navid Rahman, whose mural will be painted at Bayside Recreation Center. Rahman is a Norfolk illustrator with murals in Norfolk and Richmond. Recent exhibitions include the NEON Festival, Norfolk Emerging Leaders, and the All in Group Show at Fortune Teller in Richmond.
“The rendered illustration represents the flow of guests visiting the recreation center — giving it a whimsical walkthrough. The colors mimic the reflection of the pool found across from the lobby. I’m trying to keep the image connected to the area and the community this recreation center serves without using any particular person(s). As a past member of the Princess Anne Recreation Center, I have fond memories of coming to the center specifically to use the basketball court and to swim in the pool with a diverse group of neighborhood kids."

...C'est ainsi qu'Athénaïs reçoit régulièrement la visite d'une jeune courtisane nommée Amphélyse de Sainte-Ange qui apprécie fort Athénaïs, autant pour sa compagnie que pour ses dons...
Those who know well Athenaïs are informed that she’s a witch. When she was a little girl she learnt by her grandma the secrets of plants and since she’s able to concoct poisons, drugs, as well as love potions, elixir of youth!
Her familiars appreciate really Athénaïs’ gift, especially Amphelyse who enjoys having such a precious friend!

One of the loveliest Chinese festivals in Singapore is the Mid-Autumn Festival, falling on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.
Marking the end of the autumn harvest, the Mid-Autumn Festival is traditionally a time to give thanks to the gods. The moon is at its brightest at this time of year which is why lunar legends have always been attached to the celebration.
One of the most notable legend is the story of Chang Er, the wife of a merciless king. To save her people from his tyrannical rule, she downed the elixir of immortality that he had intended to drink. As the story goes, she ascended to the moon upon her brave act, and has been worshipped by the Chinese as the Moon Goddess ever since.
When dusk falls, celebrations go into full swing. Lanterns decorate the streets and gardens. Children come out with their lanterns vying each other who has the best lantern. Moon-viewing parties are popular as well. Family and friends sit in gardens lit by the soft glow of paper lanterns, sip tea and nibble on mooncakes.
Chinese lanterns are traditionally made of paper and it symbolizes the wish for a bright future.
Our lantern is not made of paper but of thousands of little seed beads, twinkling in the moonlight. A self-supporting central column supports “wings” that extrude from it. Between the wings are twinkling crystals adding to the glittering moonlight. Although inspired by the Chinese beautiful lanterns, The Lantern is designed as a drapery tassel (tie back) or a Christmas tree ornament.
