Exactly a year after learning to crochet, my first major freeform piece - a Halloween jumper! Freeform has no pattern, fabric is made up of small random or figurative 'scrumbles' and joining them together. About £90 of yarn in it - wool, premium acrylic/cotton, recycled sari silk, chenille, felt bobbles and beads. I'm fascinated by eyes. My OH says it's 'the product of a disturbed mind'.
Author copies arrived of this bulky anthology of African ghost stories. Now I can say that my story was published in the same book as the legend, Amos Tutuola!
Don't usually do the hard sell here but bizarrely Etsy is covering a £5 off of orders over £25+ for this weekend only (ends Sunday eve) so head over to my shop - https://blockforest.etsy.com - if you want a little discount.
Offer is open to buyers in UK, USA and Canada only (etsy's rules - not mine).
I don't usually do sales so this as good as it gets!
Moin, ich habe ein neues Gothic-Radio gegründet. Es ist via Mixcloud GEMA-lizenziert und hier möchte ich dir Platz zum Entfalten geben.
Du hast schon einmal live aufgelegt? Du hast schon Erfahrung im Radio moderieren? Oder du möchtest nicht moderieren, aber eine Sendung machen? Oder das war schon immer dein Traum, hast aber 0 Erfahrung? Sprich mich an.
Quando cedo alla visita
Gli ospiti indesiderati nel mio cervello
Le visioni e le revisioni
Sprofondo nell'estasi della follia
Che scorre dentro e fuori di me
Alla fine del giorno
Li sigillo in piccole scatole
Per galleggiare verso il mare
Poi ripeto
Today in Writing History January 19, 1809: Edgar Allan Poe was born. “The Raven” made Poe an overnight sensation. Yet, he spent much of his life in poverty. Poe originally considered having an owl or parrot, rather than a raven, quote “Nevermore.” Poe was a binge drinker who sometimes remained sober for months before falling off the wagon again. His alcoholism worsened as he got older. He died in 1849, mostly likely from alcoholism. His grave remained unmarked until 1865. For 60 years, from 1949 until 2009, the “Poe Toaster” left a bottle of cognac and three roses on Poe’s grave every January 19th.
Dort gibt es mehrere verschiedene Gothic-Sendungen, unter anderem das
#GothDiscoInferno von dem von mir sehr geschätzten @bauhausmensch (ab 2. Februar) und schon jetzt SAMSTAG ABEND, 22 Uhr bis Mitternacht meine "Split Hours".
I ran into this cute little guy on the base of an arch above a side entrance to the Gothic Revival Coats Memorial Church in Paisley. I love it when I stumble across architectural details like this.
Hey, does anyone know of any good books on Hammer Studios, particularly their gothic horror movies? I’m looking for in-depth material on the studio, the films, the actors… need not be comprehensive, but I’m not interested in simply a bunch of film synopses. Other than the autobiographies of Cushing and Lee I’m not really finding anything available that looks good. #horror#Books#horrormovies#Hammerhorror#bookstodon#HorrorFam#HorrorBooks#Dracula#Frankenstein#Gothic#gothichorror
