It's getting spooky in Here......

Havin' a ball Y'all......making some spooky things.
Who has old teeth laying around? I do.
I'm enamoured of cameos....so the oval frame, and with the teeth ..comes a little morbid anatomy...a little taxidermy....gothic Jewelry.
a silver-washed adjustable ring I added an oval black lace cameo, and a ceramic tooth...a fake tooth, from a dental supply.
Effective....
Spooky Halloween Tooth Ring with black Cameo Lace

I adore this quality ring...I searched high and low for a lovely thing....I love the baroque designs all around the ring....
and unlike most other adjustable metal rings, this one hides the adjusting area....
and no pinch!
It can adjust from a size 5.5 to about a 10.5.

what else has thatyountvillegirl been crafting?.....
Creeepy !

Circled with a black lace ruffle, the witch fabric pin is great for an October accessory.
Handmade from silly fabric, this witch is wearing her skinny black pointy shoes.
She balances on her broom.... She's So Fly !

Victorian anatomy pin is a perfect accessory for the morgue.
Handmade pin is made from printed cotton fabric in black with bright yellow bones. It is topped with a black and white satin ribbon bow....and ends with swinging fringe. A cute skeleton fancy yet primitive pin to wear this time of year.

Spooky. Creepy. All together ooky...

State Power, Lies and Fear. Lewis Lapham explains 9-11

I wish we only had to memorialize the victims on 9 11 2001, but Bush used 9-11 to enrich his friends. More than 6000 U.S. soldiers have now died in the 2 wars, twice as many as the terrorists killed on 9-11. Countless civilians, and thousands of other soldiers have died since the Bush Administration invaded Iraq and Afghanistan..

It was a load of bullshit, meant to make the US become closer to a Police State, and to increase profits of the Oil Companies using the chaos the US caused in the Middle East. What did you expect from 2 Oil Men?
9-11 has been used to make money and reduce civil rights.

Bush/Cheney...both Oil men, both with many friends in corporate America who would make huge profits in the War Machine....Halliburton....Blackwater....Defense Industries...Bankers... Insurance Companies...they all made huge profits. Lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction........The 2 wars have now cost so much that it has bankrupted America, and along with allowing  Bankers to do anything they want to make profits.
America ate it up. Rah rah Rah.
Fear did it.



Canadian DAY 6 program, with Lewis Lapham.
This is an interview with Lapham, from the Canadian Broadcasting Company, in which Lapham, being the grandson of US Oilmen,  and Politicians, and Yale and Cambridge educated, knows the true underbelly of American political power.

---Lewis H. Lapham is an American writer. He comes from the moneyed class, the Oil money of American aristocracy, and is a Preppy Yalie.
He was the editor of the American monthly Harper's Magazine from 1976 until 1981, and from 1983 until 2006. He also is the founder of the eponymous publication about history and literature entitled Lapham's Quarterly. He has written numerous books on politics and current affairs.
His great grandfather,also named Lewis Lapham, was a founder of Texaco. His grandfather Roger Lapham was mayor of San Francisco. A son of Lewis A. Lapham and Jane Foster, Lapham was born in 1935 and grew up in San Francisco.
Lapham was educated at the Hotchkiss School, Yale University, where he joined the literary society St. Anthony Hall, and Magdalene College, Cambridge.

In 1972, Lapham married Joan Brooke Reeves, the daughter of Edward J. Reeves, a stockbroker and grocery heir, and Elizabeth M. Brooke (formerly the wife of Thomas Wilton Phipps, a nephew of Nancy Astor). They have three children.
