#FridayFlash – Enjoy Your Stay

May 16, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 27 Comments

Welcome to the Schloss Teufelnacht! I trust you will have a, ah, pleasant stay. Your room is number 26 and it is on the first floor in the west wing. You will find wonderful views of the setting sun over the valley, though I recommend that you close the shutters when the night comes. Heh, […]

What am I working on?

May 15, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 1 Comment

I was tagged by my friend and fellow writer Tony Noland (@TonyNoland) in a bloghop meme, along with Larry Kollar and John Wiswell, to answer a few questions! So without any further ado, here we go… 1. What am I working on? I’m being a bit silly and working on two projects at once – […]

What can you use casting resin for?

May 13, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 3 Comments

I’ve had some Siligum moulding paste and EasyCast casting resin for a while now, and I’ve always put off using it in case I messed it up! Finally I decided I’d try it, and I wanted to share my results! Siligum comes in two pots – one blue, one white. Take two lumps from each pot […]

#FridayFlash – Burn Bright

May 9, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick 25 Comments

This is the final installment of the story told through Spark and Pyro. Dappled sunlight plays across her skin as she strolls through the forest. She enjoys the feeling of warmth, and she feels its morning heat recharging her. Farrah is glad of this; last night took a lot out of her. A stream burbles as […]

#BookReview – Trancehack

May 7, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

I’ve been a fan of Sonya Clark for a while now – I think I read Mojo Queen and Red House in a couple of days. So it was hardly surprising that I’d pick up Trancehack as well – it might have taken me a few months to get to it, but I’m glad I […]

Responding using Art 3

May 5, 2014 by Icy Sedgwick Leave a Comment

As I explained in my previous two posts on the subject, I’ve really been enjoying creating artistic responses as part of the required assignments for my Coursera course in art history. The final one was based around Velazquez’s work, Las Meninas, which you can see here. It’s a complicated work, featuring a circuit of gazes, […]
