I Am Your Shadow.

 

 

 

"For she visited you in dreams

Her pale moon face shining bright

And chased away your fears

In the deepest of the night."

 Wish you a great weekend, and see you soon!

A Lundby lamp sparkles back to life.

 

Hello everybody, I hope you're well! 

This little vintage Lundby lamp was kept in storage for a long time, because I couldn't make it work anymore.

So yesterday I decided to bring it to someone who knows a lot about both miniatures and electricity, and he repaired it for me! So here it is, sparkling like a jewel in the magical half light of my living room!

Now I think of it, I guess it's a bit symbolic for me too, after spending so much time without publishing anything here, finally 'the lights' go back on again..

 

 Wish you a great week, and see you soon!

Rain and The Unknown Dead

Rain, my little ghost girl, has a thing with poetry. Same for song lyrics and wise words.

The girl is very spiritual, you see.. Every time I find something that I'm sure she will like, or write some stuff of my own, I share it with her. And you know what happens next? She comes alive! And then I see her face, her fair, pale skin, her dark hair, and those intense, blue eyes that seem to come from far, far away. Then I notice a soft smile on her luscious lips, and a twinkle in her eyes. I think she feeds on dreams. Like most of us, she needs them to exist.

This time around I presented her with the lyrics of a song by the German 'metal' band Lunar Aurora, a sample of which is quoted here below. The song is titled "The Unknown Dead", and its lyrics are more like a poem, than song lyrics. Also, what's interesting about it, is that the music almost completely obscures the singer's voice, so it's very hard to understand what he's saying. It feels as if the words are buried just underneath the music, mixed with the earth and roots of the trees, like in a shallow grave..

 

"Es werde Nacht.... und es werde Finsternis." ("Night came, and Darkness came.") 

"From bloodstained stargates to hellish forges 

And sky-clad summits to the eeriest gorges.
But now depart for my road goes yonder,

A road that darkens while in light I wander.
But pierced with beams when everything's sombre."

 

 Taken from: The Unknown Dead by Lunar Aurora.

 

That's all for now, folks. Thanks for visiting, keep safe, and see you next time!

Daydreaming.

Hi all, I hope you're doing well! 

Here we've been under curfew for the past two weeks because of the covid. That means that everyone must remain inside from 21.00 hrs until the early morning hours. I must say it feels pretty odd not to be allowed to leave one's house after a certain time. If anything, this shows the value of freedom, which we often take so much for granted!

Today my day was brightened up by the arrival of this beauty! Her head and shoulders are made of porcelain, while her body, arms and legs are made of wood. She wears a very pretty dress made of old silk and lace. She stands about 24 cm (that is about 9 inches) tall. I couldn't be more happy with her! Her face has a warm, pensive look, as if she's daydreaming about something that fully occupies her mind. And when the golden rays of the late afternoon winter sun illuminated my living room, I felt I had to take a few pics of her.. The little daydreamer!

 

That's all for now, folks. Thanks for visiting, keep safe, and see you next time!

Sneak preview of my Panzer Wagon.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well!! 

I'm currently working on a little 'stage' to serve as a backdrop to my 'panzer wagon' (of which you can see a glimpse to the left of the below image).

The wagon, which I totally designed from scratch, was finished last year, but due to the lack of a suitable background scenery I wasn't able to do a proper photo shoot of it yet. That will change soon though, and then I'll finally write a nice blog about this very special project!

 

 

That's all for now, folks. Thanks for visiting, keep safe, and see you next time!
