talkstowolvesLook sharp, everyone! Something marvelous is coming:
Oh, yes. Mia Nutick is back with a whole treasure trove of new Chimera Fancies, all inspired by Seanan McGuire's A Local Habitation. Goodness, not just inspired by but also made from. With her usual (but never taken for granted!) genius, Mia has taken an ARC of the second novel in the October Daye series and transmuted it from engrossing book to wearable art. Further, each piece has been signed by Seanan herself before receiving their last coat of sealant. These wee beauties are remarkable and collectible!
I have been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the entire batch, and I am absolutely intoxicated by the colors, textures, and evocative phrases Mia has woven together. She never ceases to astound me, or to inspire me creatively. (Just like Seanan, as a matter of fact, whose awesome accomplishments as a multi-talented creator regularly infuse me with renewed energy in my own endeavors.)
I really cannot exhort you enough to keep an eye onchimera_fancies tomorrow and Saturday for the sale: even if purchasing one isn't your goal, these poem-pendants are more than worth the viewing. Think of tomorrow as a virtual and revolving art exhibit opening!
They'll go live in batches over the next two days, hopefully allowing a wide spread of people the opportunity to snag a favorite. These pieces tend to go fast! So, while you're hanging around looking for those sale posts - and after you've perhaps requested one of your own - come back here and tell me which ones are your favorites. I'm curious to know.
To see past examples of her work, feel free to scroll through my Chimera Fancies tag, or look through Ryan's Flickr gallery.
