Fireball XL5

I grew up loving this. I spent countless hours scrutinizing every aspect of it. I went on to become a fan of "Lost in Space" and, in far later years for work related reasons, "Star Trek". Perhaps, "Fireball XL5" is the reason why i make "the dolls". Certainly there must be some reason, as I did not 'play' with dolls as a child; I only made the figures. Although, I did always think when I watched these episodes of delightful puppetry, "The best part is being able to see the strings."

Life Car by Morgan

The "Life Car" is a concept car by the British hand built luxury custom car manufacturer Morgan. Morgan has been in its family business for one hundred years making a very interesting automobile indeed. Its invisible "insides" are wood, the smooth interior is a sheath of leather. Its luminous exterior metal shell is attached to its lightweight wood chassis perhaps by automotive magic.

As my husband hand builds his own 'custom seven second Whipple super charged drag race cars' from the ground up for fun, we are definitive car people and I found the scrumptious two tone charcoal gray Morgan which I saw today to be most interesting. Its owner accorded me a treat: I even felt its wood.
.
A great lover of fine architecture, I found the Morgan's custom built garage designed to look like an antique gate keeper's cottage to be as wonderful as the beautiful car it was constructed to house. The large, stately ivy enshrouded brick structure contained floor to ceiling windows, custom spot lights on dimmers, as well as classical music designed to enhance, and perchance, entertain the car.
