AD: Wild and Wacky Stuff Up! - Tink

Elphaba! Crap! I love it! Crap! It's Sold! Double crap!

Kaleidoscope is gorgeous too...and sold!

Elphaba Blown Winged Vessel

OMG OMG I love it!!!!!!! It fits so perfectly!

I do have four beads left, and they are favorites of mine. The clear hollows with "buttons" are so difficult for me to photograph, the pics never do them justice.

Tink Check here for available work:

Just *perfect*. Whoa. ~~ Sooz

Who got it? ~~ Sooz

It's on reserve for a non-RCB customer, and if she passes there are a few more folks waiting. I'm glad it's being well-received, as it turned out just as I pictured it would!

Not me. (walking away with a tear running down my face...and stomping my feet)

I just finished reading Wicked last night. Tink--that vessel is dead on. You rock!

You finished that book fast girl! Wow!

It woulda been sooner but I got started beading, and well, the muse had first shot at me!

Well what did you think?

OMG it sucked and I can't believe you made me read that crap! *sorry, evil twin alert*

I loved it! And for a very odd (to me anyway) reason. Like everyone else, I always thought of the WWoftheW as the bad guy--and I thought this book would make me see her as a good guy. But it didn't. I came away feeling very neutral about her--which was totally unexpected. When I say neutral, I mean she came off as just a regualar person to me--not someone to see in a bad or a good light. I've never had that happen before when reading a re-telling of a story, and so it was a most pleasant surprise. Thank you again for giving it to me, Starlia! (I would kill or at least maim to see the musical)

I know exactly how you feel about her. She is no longer a character with a small part in Oz. She is real and has real problems, real fears, and real love. I hated Glenda at the end of the book though. Snotty witch.

I would also maim to see Wicked the Musical. I hope it goes on the road soon.

I'm taking it with me my trip.

Cool! I took it with me to Paducah the other day, LOL. It's only a little over an hour drive but I couldn't leave it at home--I was at a good part!

Glinda NEVER struck me as a good guy. I don't know why. I wanted to slap her repeatedly by the end of Wcked.

I'm gonna have to go out and find this book!

Years ago (before the book), as an exercise for some college class, we had to argue the Wizard of Oz from each character's point of view. I got to be the Wicked Witch of the West. (Yahoo! It was the meatiest part by far) You can imagine how I played it: "What the frank? Why are all these midgets and that bee-yotch Glenda protecting the person who killed my sister? She killed my sister and dared to strip her corpse for the shoes - what's up with that? Some kind of fetish, I'm sure. And where are the cops in this town, anyway?" (No wonder she tried to take the law into her own hands)

I read "Wicked" when it came out, and really enjoyed it. Since I don't like adaptations of books, I wouldn't want to see the musical.

Glenda has always been a jerk in my mind - "Here Dorothy, solve all my problems and get your sorry ass back to Kansas - take the little dog with you, too!" Just because she had a nicer wardrobe than WWotW, Dorothy shouldn't have assumed she was actually good. Some of the evillest people I've ever met dress very well.

And (you knew I have to say this) Toto doesn't get enough credit. He is the driving force behind the whole movie, and should have gotten top billing. Toto rocks.

You are too funny. I agree...Toto never got top billing and he was a vital part of the wonderful story.
