I have had these done for quite a while but just haven't had the time to post them. Found some really cool textured paper that I used behind the pieces that I love for taking photos on. It is a white patterned paper and it looks lovely behind jewelry (I think) with out overshadowing it. Below are some new pendants, each pendant is made out of paperclay and is hand painted and sealed by me.
This one is called desert sunset and is one of my favorites. I was wearing the first one I did like it out one day and lost it somewhere and I was so mad. Had to come home an make a few more similar ones to the first one. I also did three others loosely based on earth, air, and water that I have to wire wrap soon.

Posted for anyone who had an interest in the science behind Monte Cristo poisoning himself to gain an immunity to poisons from Chapter 36. Almost no spoilers, so most people should be able to read it even if they haven't read the book. In fact, you don't even need to know what the book is about to read this small tidbit.

Yeah, this wasn't a very thorough investigation, so if you have anything to add, feel free to comment, whatever. =] (LJ HTML is really hating me today. Sorry if this looks messed up.)

Well, congratulations to Roger Federer. That final left me tense, especially the last (long) set. He truly is a champion. My heart goes out to Roddick who plays amazingly well.
So that was my afternoon!
Also, look what I bought last week:
It's the best £3.89 I've spent lately. \o/
(And yes, that is a blow up Kiwi in the background. HIS NAME IS KEITH.)

 Here's the concept: Imagine a world where everyone can only tell the truth. And no-one has ever lied. There are no big lies. There are no small lies. Not even white lies. Until one man discovered how to lie. |

When I read this month's ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
picspammy challenge, I knew almost immediately what I wanted to picspam. Recently I managed to watch all of Dexter Season 1 and 2 in one weekend and now I'm a woman obsessed. Dexter is one of the best shows I have seen since (Dare I say it?) The Sopranos. Since watching it for the first time I have recommended it to anyone in my life that would listen. It's brilliantly written and I'm now eagerly awaiting the release of the Season 3 DVDs so I can watch Dexter's continuing journey.
What I instantly enjoyed, apart from the show itself, was the show's opening credits. Normally opening credits are little more than a nuisance which one fast forwards through on their DVD in order to get back to their regularly scheduled programming. This isn't so with Dexter, however. The cinematography and individual shots themselves are gorgeous, but what I found most interesting was the mixture of domesticity and death. Many of the images shown are not what they originally appear to be, but on first glance could be seen as scenes of violence or horror. In reality, we are merely seeing a glimpse of Dexter's daily morning routine, in which he takes part in the same domestic rituals we all do (Cooking breakfast, brushing his teeth, getting dressed, etc) What becomes fascinating is how sinister many of these activities can appear to be on first glance, particularly with what we already know about our protagonist (His proclivity for killing and blood immediately makes a new viewer a little wary and on edge) What makes this mixture of domesticity and death so interesting is that these are two aspects of life that we never expect to mingle as one. In Dexter, however, compartmentalization and the mixture of the ordinary with the extraordinary are a daily occurrence, and I think the credits highlight this fact perfectly.
Overall, I would definitely list Dexter up there as a show with one of the best opening credit sequences I have ever seen and therefore thought it would be fitting to share them for this challenge :) Enjoy!
