Day 2

Posted on 9:08 AM by brittany

There's a quote attributed to Elizabeth Taylor that goes like this:

"The problem with people who have no vices is that you can be sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues."

And, god, isn't that true? We're no huge fans of goody-two-shoed tattle-tales. And for that matter, give me a tragic or anti hero over a perfect one any day. I can't stand Superman (this is Brittany talking so if he has any violent fans out there, please let Tynan survive.) Ever since I was a kid I had a crush on David Bowie and James Dean (and I know I'm not the only one). Vices are what make people interesting.

And we're not just talking tragic flaws. Huge immoral sins? Totally interesting. Tiny flaws in character? Just as interesting. There's something almost disturbingly ritualistic in the way some people bite their fingernails.

Anyways, today your prompt is "a vice". Yours, someone else's, a character's, vices in general. Have at it and link us to it! We had some awesome writing, lovely art and photos, and a very nostalgic jazz tune yesterday. We're loving all your work!

    Vices was a hard one. I went with the concept that vices give people character. They make them intriguing. Maybe they reveal something about people while simultaneously making them mysterious. Or whatever.

    Here's my day 2. Again, sorry it's late but it's hard to post without a computer. It's just a sketch for jewelry bits based on the prompt. I also baked cookies, so I think I got my creative bit out of it.

    I think it cut off the bottom of the last one but it would look like a Dove chocolate wrapper. And that top two could be pendants or on rings and both have domed bits. Nothing fancy but kind of fun.
