Gothic Spiderweb Kitchen Accessories from Sin in Linen

Gothic Spiderweb Kitchen Accessories from Sin in Linen


Whoo, I love getting mail! Dont you? This week I had some really fun stuff come my way, and the thing I was especially excited for were these Spider Web Kitchen Linens sent to me by my friends at Sin in Linen.* Thanks guys!



So, what they sent me was this lovely apron, modeled by yours truly:

(P.S. has my hair gotten long or what??)

The apron is nice quality and covers pretty much your whole front (a lot of aprons Ive seen have fairly low neck lines, but this one is quite high over my chest), but not very thick so try not to spill a lot of liquid down yourself. The waist ties fit comfortably around my (plus-sized) waist with enough room for a big bow, and the pocket is nice for sticking a spoon or other small item in while youre being nice and domestic. I like the detail of the lower layer, which brings it to a nice mid-thigh length on me.

Here is the bow detail:


And the matching oven mitt and pot holder set:





Spooky!


The pot holder and oven mitt are lovely and functional. Once I was done modeling pre-made pies (better looking than they were tasting, in my opinion) I actually went to cook something, including holding hot pans, and they worked perfectly to keep the heat away. 

Mmm. Bacon.

Unfortunately, when I actually went to use it I discovered something tragic: there was a little bit of water on the counter top and when the pot holder got a little wet the dye started to run, leaving blue over the spider webs.



Its kind of disappointing, especially since the pillows I reviewed from Sin in Linen over the summer didnt have that problem at all. I was a little nervous to wash them, since I didnt want to end up with completely blue stuff. Luckily I decided to just try completely rinsing the pot holder since it was already fairly blue, and when it dried the blue was gone. So apparently its just a matter of rinsing these out thoroughly before you use them and making sure all the black dye has gone, then it isnt as much of an issue.



Besides the blue dye scare, Im really happy with these products and theyre a great way to spook up the kitchen while youre making nice treats. Plus, one-size fits all, and at $22 for the apron and $14 for the pot holder and oven mitt set theyre sold at a great price. Maybe if youre really into it you could also add in a matching gothic Spider Web table cloth, and if I had my own place rather than a shared flat I would have loved to have decorated with that as well. Holiday presents for the spooky Goth in your life? Maybe!

If youre not much of a cook, you might also want to see some of the items in their Skull Décor section which has really cute stuff, including this awesome skull bedding.

Have you guys gotten anything fun in the mail lately? Or what have you been baking? Please, share recipes in the comments down below!

*Disclaimer: Items reviewed in this post were sent to me for review, but all opinions are completely honest and my own. Any questions can be directed to theeverydaygoth@yahoo.com and Ill get back to you as soon as I can. Cheers!

Good Wine Big Hair A Budget Diva and Cat Food

Good Wine Big Hair A Budget Diva and Cat Food


Happy Friday, everyone. I was originally not going to blog this morning, as this is my SEVENTH post this week, ha! However, 7 is a lucky number so I thought I would just share a few random things that happened this week and products I love. I started this morning off by picking up Crackbucks for my boss and I. That made me come alive, thus I can write now.
Monday my best friend Kelly came over to my apartment when she got off of work. We had girl talk and a bottle of the best wine I have ever had. Sauvignon Blanc is my favorite type of wine and this bottle is the best. It is not sweet, but still has a rich fruitful flavor. Plus its only $10 a bottle.
A few months ago when I took Marty for his annual physical and check up, the veterinarian told me he was almost a pound overweight. He is mostly hair and naturally a big cat due to being part Maine Coon, but nonetheless, he has some chub that needs to be fixed. 

It has been hard.

He is addicted to "Temptation treats" and knocks me over if I dare step in the kitchen and not offer him some. I have been transitioning him off of those treats and his regular cat food, to a natural, grain-free diet. I am sure a lot of you have seen the "Blue Buffalo" pet food commercials. I have, thus I decided to try him on it since it seems authentic and healthy. The doctor agreed. 

I have to say, I am shocked at how much Marty likes this food. He is usually "over" dry food quickly and will not eat it after a week or two, but not this brand. I have had him on this weight control kind for 2 months and he devours it like its filet mignon. It just goes to show that quality does make all the difference, even with our pets. He gets half a cup of this in the morning, then half a can of Variety Pets "fine dining" grain free canned cat food at night, which he also loves. I want my baby happy and health forever and ever.
Yesterday I needed to make an Ulta trip. I was out of my favorite dry shampoo and decided to try the "Powder Play" from Big Sexy Hair. I love big, voluminous hair; so if there is a product people are swearing by, I am going to try it. The verdict on this product is that it is worth every penny. Combine "Powder Play" with the dry shampoo, and my volume is out of control! Also, the dry shampoo does not make hair roots oily either. Win!

When I finished my errands and the gym last night, I had a letter in the mail from Sirius XM giving me a 3-month free trial of XM radio since I purchased my new car. I have never used XM radio so I am excited to try it out. I love talk show type things, so please leave any recommendations if you have them. My favorites are raunchy comedy, paranormal/ghost talk, motivational and inspirational messages, and celebrity gossip. 
Then I opened my email and Time Warner sent me two advanced screening tickets to see "Sin City" this upcoming Wednesday. They are also providing free concessions. That was unexpected and very welcome; especially since I die a little each month when I pay my cable bill. I cant wait to go.
Those are great additions to go with being a diva on a budget!

Lastly, I updated my about section so take a peak and let me know what you think. Now I believe I am finally out of things to write about so Im signing off. Have a great weekend everyone. Im linking up today; you should too!

GROUND TO AIR LASER RECHARGES AIRCRAFT LaserMotives laser power system

GROUND TO AIR LASER RECHARGES AIRCRAFT LaserMotives laser power system


Lockheed Martin Stalker
Lockheed Martins recent test of LaserMotives new laser powering system on the Lockheed Martins Stalker, a small, silent UAV used by US special forces since 2006, showed that drones of the future might not need to land to be recharged. 

A visual summary of how the system works.
Credits to techcentre.in
In the test, the Stalker was modified for compatibility with LaserMotives laser recharging system through the installation of special photo voltaic cells on the drone (as you can deduce, the way this system works is very similar to that of solar panels). The Stalker was then placed to fly in a wind tunnel under flight conditions so the laser does not have to constantly track and adjust for the drones position that would have been necessary if it was actually in fight. Results were overwhelmingly positive as the drone seemed to be able to stay in flight indefinitely with the battery power being higher than when the test started. The test team only stopped at 48 hours because it was already greatly passed their originally set endurance goals. Without the laser power system, the Stalkers battery can only last a maximum of 2 hours. 

Although this tremendous rate of power transfer by LaserMotives wireless recharging systems will be a huge step forward for electric aircraft flight endurance and wireless recharging technology overall, it definitely isnt good news for birds everywhere.

Gothic Gold Decor

Gothic Gold Decor


Silver and black is Goths ubiquitous color combination. Everything from classic Goth platform boots to Gothic jewelry and home decor tend to favor metallic tones in the silver, pewter, and nickel range. Thats wonderful for me as Ive always favored silver accents but lately Ive been expanding my horizons and looking into the options that other metallic tones can offer for a Gothic look.


When done right gold is luxe and has a great vintage vibe that I think goes very well with a Gothic decor scheme. Some people think that lots of gold looks tacky so I think the key is to use it subtly. The highlighting on this architectural wall is the perfect place to add just a touch of shimmer, which also helps reflect light to keep a black-painted room from looking too small.

Source.

Im still as much into minimalist gothic decor with a black and white palette as I was when I wrote my Minimalist Gothic Decor post a while back so the black and white basic color scheme catches my eye a lot here.

Source.

That being said, not everyone is as into that stark look as I am, and I understand that. Gold matches a lot of different colors so you can incorporate whatever accent colors your dark heart desires. Red, purple, dark green, and turquoise pop especially well when paired with gold. Black and gold also goes well with a variety of different styles and motifs. Occult imagery art deco, Greco Roman, and Art Nouveau are the ones Ive been most drawn to on my Pinterest board, but Egyptian motifs, Japanese laquorwork, and Medieval decor all often have gold touches.


Follow Marys board Gothic Gold on Pinterest.



So, readers, do you ever stray outside of the usual silver metallic accents for your Goth looks, decor or fashion wise?

Good news Ive a new Job! Bad news it means the Blog has to end

Good news Ive a new Job! Bad news it means the Blog has to end


I wanted my 100th post to be a celebration, but unfortunately Ive been doing a lot of thinking the last few days and Ive decided to end the blog. As some of you know Im coming to the end of my PhD and Ive been thinking about what to do next.

Im doing an Astrophysics PhD you see, and thanks to the £80 million deficit that has hit UK astronomy since PPARC merged with the STFC Astronomy in the UK is almost dead in the water.

Combine this with a blossoming commercial exploitation of astronomy that currently in a vibrant upswing and Ive inevitably had to leave academia.

But thankfully not science!

Massive datasets are a great commercial asset at present (think google maps), and Ive a new job where Ill be using my scientific and computational modelling skills to combine the Sloan digital sky survey with user data, to work out positional vectors between the earth (at a specific time) and the vast numbers of celestial objects in the catalogue, including galaxies, quasars and stars. Ill even be utilising WMAP - the earliest image of the structure of the Universe ever taken.

This will lead to a radical improvement in various fields of predictive science. One I feel I can be at the forefront off. Hence Ill be involved with the launching of the first Astrophysical Prediction Survey service to combine tried and tested astro-psychological research with the massive datasets Astromoners are returning like Sloan and the WMAP survey.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


The idea that your nature can be predicted by the motion of 9 planets will look quaint and positively ridiculous once Ive finished processing the 200 million celestial objects in the Sloan Catalog.

That and Astrology pays better. But its contradictory topic to the blog, so Im afraid ive got to let the blog go.

Golden Artist Colors Conference

Golden Artist Colors Conference


Just heading back from the "Golden Gathering" in Florida, where I got a fresh dose of information on Golden products, but so much more!  Re-connecting with colleagues, meeting artists from all over the world, taking workshops and attending super informative talks and demos. Here are a few pix.  Ill put together more posts when I get home, with more links and video. 

Here is me (orange T-shirt, gray hair) in Adria Archs class on teaching intuitive painting.  She is right up my alley, and gave me some FABULOUS ideas for improving my teaching.  We did some really fun exercises that got us painting immediately, totally engaged in the process, without thinking and agonizing.  She got us to tap into that direct line between intuition and process.  I will be trying these in upcoming workshops.

Here are a few things that came out of one of Adrias exercises.
The venue wasnt too shabby, though it was not this sunny. 

I took a watercolor workshop with Bianka Guna, in which we used Goldens new Qor watercolors.  Yes, that is Q  O  R, Qor, pronounced "core".  So Ill be experimenting with them in my studio and share with you.  The colors are intense and rich, and they work beautifully on many different grounds and substrates.


Here is Bianka.  She is an engaging teacher, very entertaining as well as knowledgeable.
This is one of the collograph plates I made in Shari Pratts workshop.  I have some better pix, which Ill share in a later post.  We used all kinds of textural materials and many of Goldens texture gels to make printing plates. 

Then we printed using OPEN acrlyics, which have a long long long l o n g drying time. They are great for monoprinting because you can take your time working the paint into/on the plate.

Melanie Matthews
One more person I want to introduce you to (if you dont already know her) is Melanie Matthews.  I attended her slide talk on using Pinterest, and found her to be one of the most generous artists Ive met, in terms of sharing information.  Funny, fun, a GREAT presenter.  I would take a workshop with her any day.  Check out her Pinterest Boards and follow her.  OMG, what a wealth of carefully curated images she shares.
