August 13 - Magic Lamp

The music's bangin' and the lights down low Just one more dance and then we're good to go

~ Genie in a Bottle - Christina Aguilera

Humans rose from clay. Angels are woven of light. And the jinn were born of the smokeless fire.

Among them drifts Zafrir the Tuskless.

He is not bound to the lamp, nor does he serve it.

When the smoke stirs and the metal hums, it is because Zafrir senses a party.

They say he outdrank the Mountain King in a seven day contest, then won a dance contest on the eighth. ... he gots that jiggle-yo.

Here is another Isopresso design, I was wishing I could make it through their collection of videos and ... BOOM ... Zafrir!

August 3 - Lamp

John Bender: Why'd you think it'd be easy?
Brian Johnson: Have you seen some of the dopes that take shop?
Bender: I take shop. You must be a ****in' idiot!
Brian: I'm a ****in' idiot because I can't make a lamp?
Bender: No, you're a genius because you can't make a lamp.
Brian: What do you know about Trigonometry?
Bender: I could care less about Trigonometry.
Brian: Did you know without trigonometry, there'd be no engineering?
Bender: Without lamps, there'd be no light.

~ The Breakfast Club (1985)

We watched The Breakfast Club with my oldest son recently, who I think (I hope) is coming to trust that we know a thing or two about good movies and music.

This lamp was taught as companion piece to Jasmine by Brian Potvin in his Bling Bling 2017 class "A Whole New World".

So why spend the day on it?  Well, really just to point out that I not good social media.  I thought it would be a good idea to have the Bling Bling balloon logo coming out of the lamp and I rebuilt the spout like that, took the picture and promptly moved on.  If I had any sort of social media savvy, I would have already posted this - the purple pig photo today is the tweet that twasn't.  #blingblingjam2017
