I found a beautiful Japanese tea box at a thrift store and transformed it into one of my corvid boxes. A corvid box, because it's made by a Raven, but it's ment for anyone who enjoys curio treasures.

One of my biggest corvid boxes...

The bottom of the box has been decorated too. I thought I was basically finished with this piece, but how many matchboxes I needed. I need to make 6 more look like this:

Haven't decided if the other 6 matchbox sleaves will use sheet music or different paper...but I'm leaning towards variety...

And some close up glamor shots...

Everything is ment to picked up and interacted with...

Shape, color, texture all play into the intention behind it's creation, and of course lots of shines...

I had a different arrangement and assort of items at first, but took everything out to decorate the interior of the tea box. I think my second arrangement came out even better. 🖤🍄🐛

Hey, so I recently saw a post of yours and then took a peek at your blog, lovely btw, though I was just wondering how you went about making your shrine/alter

Hello love ! thank you for the compliment <33 i appreciate it a lot !

I prefer my shines to be maximalist. whenever I start a new one, I gather items that I remind me of the Deity or I associate with Them to start it. At first I only use stuff I already have. I always include a space for offerings and a cup for libations. If there's an item I want specifically, such as a statue or associated item, I write it down on my phone and then keep an eye out for it when I go to farmers markets, antique stores, and the thrift. I've found that my shrines are a lot more personal when I let the item find me rather than searching for it online but that's a personal preference!

If my worship of a Deity is minor or situational, I'll usually just use temporary items that I keep around and draw a picture of Them as a votive. the items I keep on hand are candles, offering plates, and libation cups. sometimes I'll combine that shrine with an existing one if I feel the Deities will enjoy the company or if the situation calls on multiple Gods where I already have a shrine to one of them :)

my Aphrodite shrine has come a long way. It started with mostly personal items like childhood stuffed animals and pink things. It grew naturally as time went on as our relationship did. My piece of advice would be to add things that you think work well there and then leave room for it to grow. add things over time as you find them!

Caleb Landry Jones Shines in Offbeat Thriller

Abstract - Caleb Landry Jones shines as Douglas on this offbeat revenge thriller, delivering an electrifying and memorable efficiency. - The movie requires some suspension of disbelief because of its absurdist high quality, nevertheless it affords a contemporary tackle the revenge thriller style. - Luc Besson's DogMan explores themes of struggling and love by the distinctive connection between Douglas and a neighborhood of canines. There’s a sure option to expertise DogMan, visionary Luc Besson’s new thriller. For starters, finest to know Besson. He’s the person who gave us The Fifth Factor and Lucy, and people two movies exist exterior typical cinematic norms. They're as edgy as they're dreamy. DogMan affords one thing comparable. The very best factor to know going into the movie is that it's a bit bonkers from the get-go. With that in thoughts, it shouldn’t section you (a lot) to observe this trippy story of reclamation and the way far one man decides to go to take justice into his personal palms. DogMan wouldn’t be the movie it's, nonetheless, with out Caleb Landry Jones (X-Males: First Class, Get Out, Three Billboards Outdoors Ebbing, Missouri), enjoying the troubled but calculating Douglas, a person who survived an abusive previous and went on to remodel himself into one other form of creature completely. Jones delivers probably the most electrifying performances of the yr. It’s an award-worthy flip, though we doubt most business insiders will see it that manner. Maybe it doesn’t meet typical Oscar requirements. Nevertheless, Emma Stone grabbed the gold for taking part in a much more over-the-top particular person, so Landry deserves some credit score right here. Watch the movie for Landry. Then, savor the nuances. Using flashbacks, the movie tracks Douglas—from the jail interrogation room to childhood and past—revealing his traumatic early years, how the abused boy finally discovered salvation and got here into his personal, and the ballsy manner he sought justice by his reference to canines. Many canines, in reality. In case you recognize avant-garde and edgy movies with quirky protagonists on the middle of the story—and when you've got some endurance to permit this movie to win you over—DogMan is tail-wagging enjoyable. Let’s unpack it.

He Will Survive

DogMan 4/5 Launch DateApril 5, 2024 Runtime114 Minutes Professionals Caleb Landry Jones is implausible, portraying a genuinely memorable character in Douglas Munrow. The distinctive and offbeat story retains the revenge thriller feeling contemporary. Cons The absurdist high quality of the movie requires some suspension of disbelief, which can not land with audiences. The inspiration for DogMan got here partly from an article Luc Besson examine a French household who threw their very own youngster in a cage when he was simply 5. Interested in how that might have an effect on an individual mentally, Besson got down to write and direct DogMan, hoping to expound upon the common themes of struggling and love. Within the case of Douglas Munrow, the love comes from the unusual connection he develops with a neighborhood of canines.

Associated Finest Arthouse, Avant-Garde Horror Films of All Time In Hollywood, horror tends to be predictable and denigrated. However issues get fascinating when creative freedom and full creativity take the reigns. We first meet Douglas driving a truck with what seems to be a pack of untamed canines within the again. Douglas is in drag—blond wig, tres Marilyn—and we marvel if this movie is a couple of tormented drag performer. Sure and no. (Extra on that later.) Having been stopped by the police, Douglas stays calm, smiling knowingly. When Evelyn (JoJo T. Gibbs), a court-appointed psychologist, begins interrogating Douglas, we be taught extra about him by these classes and the way his robust connections to canines are shaped. Beneath the brutal rule of an abusive father (Clemens Schick), Douglas was locked in a cage of canines and compelled to exist there for years, we assume. His brown-nosing bully of an older brother (Lincoln Powell) isn’t a lot assist, however divine windfall inserts itself into Douglas’s state of affairs, providing an opportunity at freedom. But it surely comes with a worth—mobility. Instantly, in a wheelchair with restricted strolling skills, Douglas realizes who his true family members—and most loyal technique of help—are. Canine. There’s a pleasant absurdist high quality to this movie, and it requires some suspension of perception—or not—when Douglas’ canines reveal simply how fine-tuned they're to their human companion. We “received” it. Whether or not audiences will stays to be seen, nevertheless it’s onerous to disclaim simply how shut our connections to our four-legged buddies can truly be.

A Revenge Thriller With a Twist

DogMan additionally inserts a becoming B story—fortunately not cloying—involving Evelyn, a single mom, who herself has been beneath the watchful eye of an opinionated guardian—albeit far much less harsh than Caleb’s brutal "caregiver." That plot affords the film a way of groundedness and a option to peek into Caleb’s story as Evelyn items collectively how Douglas wound up sitting earlier than her. JoJo T. Gibbs, who shined within the comedy Twenties, is extra critical right here, and her empathy for Douglas additionally permits us to spend money on the character and this story's end result.

Associated 10 Film Protagonists With Uncommon Backstories These distinctive backstories is probably not relatable to everybody, however they've nonetheless gone on to turn out to be among the most beloved characters ever created. Let’s discuss Douglas, we could? In watching Caleb Landry Jones, one remembers Heath Ledger’s fever-dreamy portrayal of The Joker in The Darkish Knight. The whimsy, the figuring out smile, the calm but mysterious eyes—you by no means know what’s about to occur subsequent. Luc Besson presents us with a uncommon, memorable character. As destiny would have it, we be taught that grownup Douglas, in search of work, stumbles right into a gig singing in drag. Music, like canines, was a consolation, in spite of everything, and it’s right here that the movie shifts tonally for a bit as Douglas croons to make a dwelling. Edith Piaf’s La Vie en Rose has by no means been so richly captured or carried out. In the meantime, there are some gritty felony antics occurring on the streets, and Douglas, like Batman maybe, has positioned himself within the “protector” function. Conditions come to a boil, in fact. Criminals reveal themselves. Douglas, nonetheless nursing daddy-issue wounds and thirsty for revenge, takes enjoyment of orchestrating a sequence of outlandish but efficient measures to maintain justice in test. Break-ins, machine weapons, trick doorways, uber-sentient doggies figuring out simply what to do—oh my! It’s like a warped 101 Dalmatians by means of a fallen DC hero. And depraved enjoyable. If… you permit your self to simply float alongside and see the place this surreal story needs to take you. It additionally illuminates how a tragic aftermath in a single's life can play out in absurd twists. Ingenious, offbeat, and buoyed by Caleb Landry Jones’s tour de power efficiency. We must also give these canines credit score, too. They know simply patrol—typically with their jaws locked in your crotch. One can think about the lengths Luc Besson went to with canine trainers and practically 150 canines prancing round. By the appears to be like of it, these canines received down their cues. Backside line: DogMan is devilishly enjoyable, and Caleb Landry Jones instructions the display. DogMan opens in choose theaters on Mar. 29. Read the full article
