Sweet With Heat Writing

"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."

I picked up this antique stool yesterday and while I love it, it's in bad shape --the purple velvet is worn entirely through in a couple spots.

I raided my glue stash and I need to figure out what adhesive is going to be best for attaching trim.

Oh shit I gotta get to D&D. That's as good a pausing point as any!

Back from DnD! Not bad, but it needs more.

I decided to hit the frame with a very very light dusting of matte black paint, to make it look more like the cast iron that it is, and added scalloped trim. I'm debating more fringe but I'm gonna think it over. And I'm thinking about a liiiiite but of gold wax on the iron, but that is very easy to do wrong.
