I hesitated to put lashes on Tik. Partially because I don't have many blond ones left, but also because his eyes are so small to begin with. I decided to try it because I can always take them off if I don't like them, and I'm glad I did. I think he looks rather good with them.

Autumn, my (old) AoD AiAi floating head, finally got a wig of her own. I love it on her. I tied it back so the tree and her little elf ears are visible.

Floating Heads by Sophie Cave

This unusual work of art shows over 50 floating heads, displaying many different emotions. There were many reasons the display was so appealing. The initial reason was that it stood out so much in the traditional setting of the rest of the building. The heads are not particularly detailed – they are completely white – but the expressions they bear, which would otherwise be hidden, are highlighted with a faint blue light.

The heads have a slightly eerie life-like quality. The expressions they display are some that we see on a daily basis in our society, ranging from laughter to sadness. This display is hung over the foyer and so it one of the first things your eye goes to.

This was another one, really a test shot but I think it worked so well! I moved, a little Oompa Loompa dance and this is the result, the light was my phone. Sony a230.

The amazing floating heads sculpture by Sophie Cave at the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow.

Unfortunately, I can't recall the artist or title of this incredible piece. Faces everywhere.
