Handmade Gargoyles!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I hope you had or are having a very happy Halloween. And that your sugar high has passed.
I admit, it was very tempting to feature Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees lenses today. Or various pumpkin flavored goodies. Or cute dog costumes (especially the Weinershnitzel daschund all dressed up in a bun and mustard).
But you know [...]

Life with a Golden Retriever

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Now featuring: A lens designed to make you laugh, make you cry. No, it's not a Lifetime channel movie.
It's far sweeter, furrier, and better written.
It's lensmaster JasmineAnn's tribute to her golden retriever, Goldie. And a wonderful first hand resource for other golden retriever friends and owners.

Sometimes inspiration is no farther away than your own backyard.

Salem Witch Trials

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

I'm featuring this lens for 3 reasons.
1. Hey, it's almost Halloween. And there's just something about witches.
2. I'm not drawing parallels to politics. Does saying that mean I am? I'm not. But if you want to, feel free.
3. Not the least of which is simply this: what a lens! Hey, it was this or [...]

Dream Team

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

I'm not obsessed.
I'm not.
I am just fascinated by how many great Twilight lenses there are!
Forgive me if you haven't read the books or don't plan to, but really, this is the biggest thing since Harry Potter, at least online. Or maybe since sliced bread. No, not sliced bread.
And if you think I'm harping on this [...]
