Old books, Incense smoke, and Jars

I love this picture because of the incense smoke.

I am exhausted.

Seriously.

Did a still life last night, as you can see, I set it up around the idea that my witch would surround herself with the objects that protect her, even after the stroke of midnight.

I'm taking it easy the next few days. I deserve it.

Then It'll be time to pull it all down and get back to normality until Yule. 

Things that amaze me

Okay, so like 2 weeks ago I picked up two sticks of clove incense by WildBerry from my fave metaphysic Psychic Eye Book Shoppe here in vegas,  TWO. They are in a sealed plastic bag sitting on my dining room table... about 50 feet away. 

After two weeks of stewing, I can strongly smell the two sticks from my couch.

Sealed in a plastic bag, 50 feet away, TWO incense sticks. 

Those are going to be AWESOME on Sunday Night. I need to get more....

Of rotting pumpkins, and another still life

So, we picked up pumpkins while returning from Knotts, and at the time all of the pumpkins looked sound.... 

But alas, I was wrong. One of my pumpkins was slowly rotting. I happened to actually touch it today, and it was a little... squishy.... 

Checked the others, so far so good.

And THANKFULLY it wasn't one of my stemmed beauties. 

So I carved me a pumpkin last night, and did a full blown still life..

And I fixed the photography problem!

Lower ISO's for the win!

This is the first part of the still life, I'm saving some of the rest.

I hope you enjoy!
