The Light In the Darkness; Competition!

Dearest Darklings,

       As many of you may know the world is not always as it seems. Friends can turn to enemies, life to death, joy to sorrow and love to hate. But we must be strong for even in the darkest of times there is always light for without light there can be no darkness.

I would like to set a challenge to you all whether you be from America, Germany, Thailand, Israel or anywhere in this big wide world I would like you to take a picture of something that you find truly breathtaking and a light that shines through the greatest of the darkness. email them to me @ ms.lunatgw@gmail.com before midnight of november 1st 2014. The 10 pictures that best depict this theme will be published on this blog along with your name and website details (only if you want to disclose that make it clear in the email).

Additionally after the ten pictures have been posted you my readers can then vote for which is your favourite either through email or comments. voting will end at midnight 21st december and the winner will be announced shortly after. First prize is to have an canvas print of your picture sent to the artist.
Second prize is a framed print.
And third is a printed mug.

Let the Imagination thrive! You may begin!
Blessed be!

writers block and puppets galore

Merry meet my wonderful darklings,

  

              Its here its finally here the best month of the year (and not just because its the month I was born in) October with its halloween festivities and stores filled with stripy tights and sweets and all manner of cheap decorations has arrived at last and goodness knows that I have been running out of patterned tights and skull decorated wrapping paper.

 It is the season to be spooky and you can bet your little black hearts that this month I will desperately try to be more productive.....I know I know I always say that but unfortunately the dreaded writers block has been plaguing my dark soul and i have yet to find a demon or ghoul to shift it or at least fill the gap (anyone know a good voodoo witch doctor?)

Aside from my anguished woes of self motivation and attempting to sell my art (which you can find here) My witchy fingers have been itching to do a little magic and here in the sunniest part of the UK I attended a glorious little festival for both the littlest witches to the maidens, mothers and the other ones (see terry pratchett Carpe Jugulum for that reference ;P ) there was all manner of things to see and do from conferences to shamanic drumming rituals and even a childrens storytime. Now it was quite hard to restrain myself from spending my well earned pieces of paper on all the shiney new wands and charms and books in sight but alas i just about managed it with barely enough to buy a wonderful meal in a local pub. Now this charming festival is called the harvest moon and it meets around this time every year in the magnificent and eclectic city of Norwich's Puppet Theatre (which is well worth a visit any time of the year) so if you ever end up in my neck of the woods ensure you try and check it out along with many of norwiches other splendid attractions which i will be divulging about to you over the next few posts but for now i leave you with this charming picture of the puppets and bid you farewell.

Blessed be!
