Sit those tied bones down, and stay a bit... actually 'TIRED' I DEFINITELY meant tired, that other word is too S&M and it's not that sort of post!

It's Pagan Culture's 4th Blogoversary, and Magaly is throwing a wicked party... giveaways, entertainment... & drinks... well at least a milkshake is on the menu... & lot's of things to chew on... crunch & munch, because there is a theme... "to the bone" so you'll be sure to leave satisfied, all that marrow... it's good for you ;)

Well I hope to do a few posts over party time, but this first one had me chewing my fingernails & meditating... bones... Bones.... BONES.... life, death, our indigenous Australians who can "point the bone" with deadly effect & how I have seen revered bones in churches, relics of saints, & last week came across a bush rat's skull in the garden... or maybe it was a possums(?)... my mind was churning & thinking that how incredible, the sum of all, maybe ends in a handful of bones, in a church, in a garden, used in magic, chewed on at dinner...  I felt a little nostalgic... about things past.

It only seems like yesterday when I sat with my big sister & assorted toddler sibling enthralled by Bones...

Not sure what I was thinking as my heart really belonged to Billy Mumy, (actually spoiler alert, just printed my 'Lost in Space' T-Shirt to wear to my next Scifi SupaNova convention - sad but true, anyway I always get lost at those things so it's quite appropriate). Anyway I decided that was as good a place as anywhere to jump from, & jump I will, because now I want to show you the 'bones' of a painting I have started, it's called 'til death we do part'... and as I flesh it out over party time I will update photos...

I have a little give away too... leave a comment & I will randomly draw the winner of this little original painting below... all comments go in the draw over Magaly's party duration 1st-13th April, so if I post again & you leave another comment well you get a second chance... the painting below, it's done on recycled board & it's called 'Carnival of Bones' it was based on my first thought when Magaly announced her Blogoversary theme, a little girl, outside of the 'haunted house' at the Easter Show, a memory of long ago, that child is no more, but the bones still terrify her.

I actually want to share something else but that will have to wait as I am running late like an April Fool, and need to visit the other partiers, so drink up, you have rested your bones long enough ;)

One more thing, NATASHAAA (I am shouting so you hear me LOL & I probably won't get to visit until tomorrow as I have dinner to cook) BUT... You have won your choice of either of my 2 posted Oz creations from my last post & I want to thank you :) and ALL I yahooed with at Oma's Altered OZ party, I had the best time, but somehow, still remain in Oz... lucky me ;)
