		<title>Caron Vinson, Haunted House LTCs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Latest LTCs made for swaps: Gothic Monarch is based on the art of Caron Vinson.  The background is chalked and stamped, and the girl is colored with copics. This haunted house card uses charcoal distress embossing powder over red ink for a brimstone look.  The moon is a page from a scan of a first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lover&#8217;s Eye Brooches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The book I&#8217;m currently reading deals somewhat with antique jewelry, and mentions lover&#8217;s eye brooches a few times.  Finally, I had to satisfy my curiosity. The lover&#8217;s eye is a Georgian trend, originally intended to give the wearer a remembrance without revealing the identity of his or her lover.  Evidence suggests the brooches became popular [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interesting things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inuit throat-singing from Ryan at Daily Ping. Mark Ryden painting Incarnation. I wish this had been twice as long, as it only gets to the rough stage of the painting. Note the full-size sketch to his left, and all the visual refs he grabs. Also, a thought about yesterday&#8217;s post: why wax? Would something like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Portland needs a wax museum</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world needs more wax museums.  Specifically, the world needs a wax museum in Portland.  Wax museums are cool, quirky, and weird, three things Portland is known for.  Also, I just like wax museums, and I&#8217;d like one close by. I know wax museums are a money-losing proposition, but I have an idea to overcome [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rangoli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because of this post at All Things Paper (which, by the way, is a fine, fine blog), I have discovered a new beautiful thing: Kolam, or Rangoli. Women draw these ephemeral patterns on the ground outside their doorsteps. Similar to sand painting, white and colored rice powder is used to create the art. Dots and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bits of me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going through an old password list, and found some pieces of my web self. Some of these may require registration for you to see my profile. Not long ago, this list would have included a Geocities page. C&#8217;mon, you had one too, admit it. The one constant has always been frykitty.com. I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<title>And back again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This, I believe, is a first for me: the web brought me full-circle. I found a blank spot on Google Maps, which in Gresham means a butte.  It was nameless, and I was curious, so I went driving around, looking for good access.  Found okay access, and will explore more later.  In the meantime, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wishlist for Kindle items: Amazon, you&#8217;re doin&#8217; it wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazon recently updated the way wishlists work; they now show release dates for print pre-orders.  Great!  At the same time, they removed any clue that Kindle pre-orders were available yet.  Oh, not great.  Here&#8217;s a snippet from my list, to show you what I mean: Wait for Dusk hasn&#8217;t been released yet.  On my wishlist, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letterbox Trading Cards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beginning with the robot series, I have been putting LTCs (Letterbox Trading Cards) in with my plants as a gift for the first finder.  LTCs are like Artist Trading Cards: a tiny bit of art on a 3.5&#8243; x 2.5&#8243; card, except LTCs must incorporate a hand-carved stamp.  I have been making sets of 4 [...]]]></description>
