Blackened Wings & Dreamlike Things

[kambriel]

Last month I got an email about an opportunity/contest to "Design a show-stopping shawl for Stevie Nicks". I was immediately inspired & began work on it right away ~ here's the finished result!

Voting starts today! I'd love if you could go take a look, and vote if you feel moved to do so :) Many beautiful/sentimental/artistic pieces have been made or sketched for this, and I hope Stevie (& everyone!) has a wonderful time going through all of the pieces she's inspired.

I voted, and I'm poking all of my followers on various social networks to vote for you.

It's such a gorgeous shawl! I keep looking at the photos and sighing.

***Thank you!!!***

I can definitely see you wearing a shawl like this at our (future-someday) spooky home by the sea ~ sitting outside having tea, wearing our giant festooned velvet witch hats.

Voted!

That is so gorgeous! I love it :)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for voting ~ I really loved making it!

[arielstarshadow.livejournal.com]

Voted! Personally, having looked at all the entrants - I don't see how you could NOT win!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

That's so sweet of you to say (& to vote!) ~ I've been really excited to see what all of the other entrants created, so it was great to have them finally unveiled today :)

needless to say I voted. and it's magnificent!

Hurrah! Thank you my glamourous witchy deathrock goddess fabulous harlot red friend :)

*swoopy dance* (not to be confused with Snoopy Dance... unless Snoopy's in a magical forest, with the rest of his beagle-coven ;))

Wow, that is so amazingly gorgeous! I'm sure you'll get a lot of votes, I put mine in!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! it was great having an "excuse" to make it & I've really enjoyed seeing all of the entries :)

[logospilgrim.livejournal.com]

Voted! That is a stunning piece... I love how it shimmers darkly :-)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Oh good, I was hoping the shimmering quality could at least ~somewhat~ be captured in the photos! The pailettes have a satin/semi-matte finish, so they're really pretty in person, with a softer sparkle than you'd get from standard sequins...

[logospilgrim.livejournal.com]

Honestly, it's one of the first things I noticed, and it mesmerized me...

*facepalm* In my haste to share the post, I totally forgot to say how absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous the shawl is -- worthy of bedecking Stevie herself, or a fashion-conscious dark goddess of the night!

<3!

[jola.livejournal.com]

why thank you I also think it would look nice on me ...

::waves imperiously to many fans::

::K is asking me why I'm waving at him::

[ashbet]

Voted, and reposted all over! <3

P.S. Did you see the Stevie pics that jola had posted about?

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, thank you <3

I'd read about those self-portraits, hadn't seen those yet, so thanks for sharing them! I remember her saying something about telling people to show up bedecked in lipstick, lace, hats, etc... in the middle of the night for photos, and people just didn't seem to take her up on the offer ;) It's funny, because I'm normally the person doing that to my friends whenever the opportunity arises!

[ashbet]

Hehe -- that is awesome!! Wish you were local, I'd love to play dress-up and take photos!

If you're ever in Texas, I have a guest room ;)

<3!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

That would be ridiculous amounts of fun... *makes mental note* :)

*dance dance dance*

(It's actually lovely here in the fall and for the first half of winter -- nice to get away from the cold, and it doesn't usually start getting wet or producing snow/ice until after January.)

The winters in the DFW area are generally quite mild, although Jan/Feb seem to have the highest chance of having snow or ice. Even when we get ice, it doesn't last -- but it's quite treacherous when it's on the roads, since they don't have a salting/sanding infrastructure here.

Annnd I just remembered that you've lived in Texas, never mind . . . I'm trying to do three things at once (one of which is "making calls for Kira's Social Security stuff," I'm on hold), and it's making me really ditzy today!!

But! Yes! You totally should, someday when it's feasible! Sp00ky sleepovers are amazing!!

:D

I smell GAF-CON II ...

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I approve of this plan.

[brithistorian.livejournal.com]

That is beautiful! I hope you win!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!! There are hundreds of entries, so it's a long shot, but I'm glad to have had the opportunity to at least try :)

[brithistorian.livejournal.com]

Even if you don't win, you've still made something beautiful. My hat's off to you.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Hopefully she'll see & like it! Thank you *so much* for the vote :)
