More shiny than you can shake a stick at.

talkstowolvesI'm really impressed by the creativity being featured at IAFauctions.com! There's an alien doll by C. Jane Washburn that gives me the willies even as I'm cooing "awww...!" and an utterly sublime Chimera Fancies pendant based on "Remembrance is Something Like a House." There's an intoxicating hair-fall of indigo and trinkets and a couple of art-books by Erzebet Yellowboy and Lisa Bernier that I especially have to wrest my grabby hands away from. (Gosh, the blank journal based on "The Long and Short of Short-Term Memory" especially!)
There's... well, just click on the promo pictures below! If you mouse-over, you can view the title of the piece and clicking will take you directly to the description and auction.
For those who haven't been able to purchase a copy of Interfictions 2, the IAF is giving away several copies! All you have to do to enter is follow the directions in this post. They're selecting winners on Friday, so do it quick!
In case you needed more evidence that interstitial art is worth the plunge into weird and uncharted seas, remember that you can read several stories for free at the IAF Annex. I never did get to mention the ultimate offering: "Quiz" by Eilis O'Neal, and it was another of my favorites. So, tell me, "Which is harder to get rid of: a wicked stepmother or a frog that insists you keep your promises to it?"
Also, the introduction to Interfictions 2 by Henry Jenkins has been put up over at the IAF's website: "On the Pleasures of Not Belonging." I heartily recommend it as it's quite fascinating.
Before I sign off, I must warn you all of more impending shininess! If you are a fan of Chimera Fancies or Seanan McGuire's Rosemary and Rue, Mia is having a sale of pendants inspired by that excellent urban fantasy tomorrow! These really represent some of Mia's most breathtaking work yet and I exhort you to visit Chimera Fancies immediately.
Did I mention she's also auctioning off a couple of special pendants already, in advance? Ones that capture the essence of Rosemary and Rue? Or that all of these pendants (including the ones going on sale tomorrow) are signed by Seanan McGuire, and made from an ARC of her recently-released novel?
No? Well, they are:
Gorgeous.
