Here are some more information for Hand Carve Bone:
Artists and musicians are renowned for living in a world far removed from the real one. For them, reality is a vague concept that afflicts others while they are allowed to roam freely and express their creativity in any form that they choose. When an artist and a musician get together to collaborate on a project, you can be sure that they will create a unique, off-the-wall and functional piece of art.
Stephen McSwain is a luthier (string instrument maker), musician and artist living in Los Angeles. Blessed with a double dose of creativity, he decided to liven up the image of standard guitars by applying his idea of "functional art". His first attempt was completely experimental. By carving faces in the wood of the guitar by hand, he ended up with a masterpiece that now belongs to Grammy Award winner Steve Vai.
His pieces are now in great demand by so many musicians that there is a waiting list. However famous his clients are, Steve doesn't rush his work to meet any deadlines. He works with great care, creating each guitar by hand and ensuring they all meet his high standards to become prized collector's pieces of art.
Clients can bring in their own designs or merely discuss want they would like with Steve, and he will make their visions come to life. He chooses the kind of wood that will best suit the shape of the guitar without affecting its sound, and sets to work carving out the design with a knife. Depending on the client's needs, metal might need to be polished, etched and riveted to the wood. The wood might need to be scorched, and sundry miscellaneous items salvaged from scrap heaps to be attached to the evolving guitar in various ways.
One of his favourite and most famous guitars is the Frankenstein guitar. Frankenstein has a maple top and mahogany tone chambered body with a three-piece mahogany neck. The fret board is ebony, maple and purple heart, all stitched together with leather cord. The guitar is adorned with red leather dye to get a bloody realism effect.
Slash, of Guns 'n Roses fame, saw the Frankenstein and immediately had to have an original McSwain guitar for his wife. He went with a Wizard of Oz theme, as she is a huge fan, and together with McSwain, came up with a Wicked Witch of the West guitar. She has eyes that glow in the dark, and teeth made from cow bone rubbed with black powder for a nasty rotten effect. Two of her wicked monkeys fly at her side. Their eyes also glow in the dark and they have sinister grins that follow you around the room.
Steve's designs are as varied as the artists he counts as his clients. Among the guitars he's created are an alien, a viper, a KISS guitar with all the members of the band in full regalia, the Star Trek Enterprise because even celebrated musicians can be Trekkies, and an elaborate vision of space.
Musicians are artists with creative needs that are not always fulfilled through the creation of lyrics and notes. Sometimes they need to express themselves in other ways. Hence we got Rod Stewart in Spandex pants and big hair, Freddie Mercury's topless strut and now, unique guitars that reflect the artist's lives, loves and bizarre tastes. Long live creative expression!

Learn to Make Hand Made Jewelry for Fun and Profit
Are you looking for a new hobby or a new career?
Have you considered learning how to make hand made jewlery for fun and profit?
In the economy of today, people are looking at their untapped skills and talents and considering self employment.
I have been making my own unique beaded jewelry to adorn casual and evening wear. I enjoy designing one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. And a surprising result which I did not expect was to turn a hobby into a profession. Making beaded jewelry sets satisfies my hobby interest as well as preparing for a new profession.
Making unique beaded jewelry opens your creativity allowing for self exploration.
As you search for your area of interest you will discover many materials which are incorporated into these decorative delights. You may want to consider shells, pebbles or carved stones, sharks teeth or other animal teeth, bone, wood, certain plant seeds, leather, metals, and a list of other natural products.
Or visit your local craft stores, jewlery suppliers, or online outlets for manufactured beads, pearls, charms, and other doodads. And it will not take very long to learn this artistic craft with its many financial outlets.
After attending arts and crafts shows, looking at catalogs, retail outlets, specialty outlets, museums, models, celebritites, and seeing what others wear or create; I know that my beading designs are original. I have sold several of my bangles.
If you decide this is a new career, start selling at art festivals, arts and crafts show, and craft shows. After doing these types of outlets you will learn from other artisans and customers as to other outlets to wholesale or retail.
A benefit that I experienced when I started making jewelry was relaxation. I am enjoying the adventures of learning and creating. It is calming because I can assemble my bead making jewelery and listen to my favorite radio or television station while my fingers are busy making bracelets, necklaces or earrings.
Everyone learns in a different way. I started with magazines and books. I had trouble understanding the written directions and correctly visualizing the patterns. The mistakes included using the wrong cording, incorrect beads, wrong needles, poor choice of closures, and wrong jewelry tools. Unfortunately, misunderstanding the patterns created terrible errors and financial loss.
It was time to get help! I thought about going to classes, but time, travel, and money were problems. The experiences I have had with taking craft classes is that you understand what you are doing in the classroom, but when you go home and start to work on your project you discover that you forgot half of what you learned.
Note taking is limited because your attention is on the instructor. If the class is very large you lack individual attention. Very importantly, jewelry working is done within the confines of your hands. It needs to be magnified to truly see what is being done.
My niche for learning is visual aids. Videos can be played over and over until you understand jewlery assembly techniques.
There are so many kinds of jewelry to be made that it is difficult to make a choice! That is why it is an adventure to experiement with wire jewelry, silver or gold jewelry, pearls, and other types of beads.
I just completed beading my crystal necklace with matching bracelet. My new creation will be the conversation piece at the next family or party gathering.

dark, violent death metal gore lyrics?
hey yer ive always been interested in these kinda of gorey lyrics. i don't believe that it makes you more violent or fucked up its just a outlet for your anger and creativity. Heres some original lyrics i wrote for my band tell me what you think (ps its based off a real murder so tell if you no which one)
Covered with grass and purple weeds
You lay there strangled next to a pair of broken scissors
Puncture marks on your thighs
Genitals skinned
Clumps of hair cut away
Bizarre wounds reveal my playfulness
N’s carved into your wrists
As they drag your coffin past me
I stand here laughing and rubbing my hands
Joy runs through me
dont steal this shit or ill dislocate your brittle bones one by one
I think you could do better. Your imagery is a little lackluster and your rhythm is choppy. Also your violence is vivid without being atmospheric, and "you" in the lyrics are lacking character. Add some subtlety and aim for disturbing rather then shocking. It'll get there.
ps. i dunno, which one?
The Adjudicator verdict: NRL R21
The Adjudicator knows a strong performance is looming when my house gets egged and my letterbox is destroyed in the lead-up to the weekend verdict.
