Comments on news, websites, personal things, and hobbies
Welcome to Diana's Blog
I blog about anything that interests me - my local area, things I've seen or heard on the news, politics and human rights, gardening, arts and crafts, poetry, photographs and general advice.
And, when you've finished reading, don't forget to leave a comment - I love hearing from people
First I took a photograph of some beautiful red hollyhocks in my garden, and then I played around with the photo on Photoshop, adding swirls and whirls, until I created this design.
It would make a lovely present for a lovely lady, don't you think? ......Worth thinking about, anyway.
Actually, you can go on Zazzle and design your own items, from T-Shirts to posters, and everything you can think of in between, using your own pictures and designs - it's quite fun, once you've got the hang of it.
Do follow the link above, and have a look.

Gothic Skulls and Hearts - Very Trendy!
I
used to have a little white skeleton dangling from a key-ring when I
was a teenager, in the 1950s. I loved that skeleton, and even had a name
for him - Skelly. I took him everywhere.
Of course, although I didn't know it at the time, that was the precursor of Gothic style as we know it today.
People thought I was ghoulish or just plain weird, a little girl
carrying round horrid things like that. Not that I cared - I always
liked to be different, and still do. I would be a bit sad if people
thought of me as ordinary, or normal - not that I make a point nowadays
of standing out in a crowd, but I don't necessarily conform to what
other people think I should be, and prefer to choose what I think I
should be.
I'd like to show you a great selection of Gothic style here - including Jewelry, Cards, and Artwork
Skulls
are trendy this season. When they are connected with romantic hearts
you have weird somewhat tongue-in-cheek symbolism, of the loving you to
death or loving for eternity genre
What's this all about? Gothic things, of course!
You might want to buy these items for Valentine's Day or Halloween , but they can be used all-year-round
I'm going to show you a few Gothic posters, some jewelry, and cards all featuring skulls and/or hearts. There are also lots of Ghoulish pictures to keep your attention
