More on The Tangle movie

If you’ve been following along, you’ll recall that we provided a unique snow globe for the independent movie, The Tangle.zTHE TANGLE group poster edited.jpgThe good news is the movie is nearly complete – they are shooting a final scene and moving into editing. If you’d like to help see this movie become reality, the final push is happening with the crew’s IndieGoGo fundraising page. (Check it out.)

Since any film that features a snow globe is a good thing, we were able to give our own little nudge by making five limited edition snow globes as one of the project’s incentives to donate. Happy to say that all five were taken before we posted photos. But since we know you are curious what they looked like …

Presenting, The Tangle snow globe, limited edition of five pieces.

Each globe includes a unique beaded sculpture in bronze, gray, aqua and black glass beads, mimicking The Tangle’s assembled geometric shape logo. Black wood base with hand-painted geometric details (slightly different on each globe). All images and designs copyright (c) 2017, The Tangle and Camryn Forrest Designs, respectively.

We’re excited to have one of our liquid globes featured in the upcoming independent movie, “The Tangle” by writer/director/actor Christopher Soren Kelly.

And while we are being patient for the movie release, and getting ready for the next three art festivals on our calendar, here’s an interview about Kelly’s body of work which includes more information on “The Tangle.”  Enjoy!

Look for the movie to appear in 2017. Meanwhile, here’s a tease of the snow globe used in the film:

Black Sails

Have you ever heard the saying, “that ship has sailed?”
I planned to take a series of fabulous photos of our newest airship snow globe when we got back to Colorado after showing at the spring One of a Kind show in Chicago, but …

that ship has sailed. It was purchased and is off on a new adventure, somewhere in Illinois.

Here are a few snaps we took during the making of “Black Sails” that may inspire us to make another someday.

When shaken the globe glitters with darker glitter, reminiscent of thunder and lightning. Hand-painted base with metallic patina effect and brass rivets.

Men At Work

Machines both fascinate and frighten me. Sometimes their impact seems to overwhelm the presence of the very people who created them.
This sparkle snow globe, Men at Work, illustrates that feeling. Just who is in charge, anyway? what are we trying to accomplish?

When shaken, the scene is bathed in shimmering gold dust … until the dust settles, and the work begins again.

It’s About Time

Think about it, if we could understand time, we’d understand most of the mysteries of the universe.

“Time is an illusion.”
― Albert Einstein

Its_About_Time snowglobe CamrynForrestDesigns, Denver, Colorado

It’s about time.  It’s ALWAYS about time.

  • Time is money.
  • Time waits for no man.
  • Like winter snow on summer lawn, time past is time gone …

     

    “There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.”
    ― Bill Watterson

     

I often say, it’s a good thing there are deadlines, because without the last minute, nothing would get done around here. But we never know if we have years left, or minutes, or merely seconds. We tell ourselves that time is precious, one shouldn’t waste time, that there is no time like the present.

Because, just like shaking a snow globe and watching the shiny numbers flitter, dance and sink again, time is fleeting. We have to make the most of what time we have; we have to dream, we have to be kind, we have to remember to laugh.

“One day spent with someone you love can change everything.”
 ― Mitch Albom

 

 

 “How did it get so late so soon?”
― Dr. Seuss

When shaken, the liquid-filled globe dances with gold glitter and silver numerals, representing the minutes and hours of time.

Deep Thoughts, or “where’d I put that idea?” snow globe

Deep Thoughts snow globe, Camryn Forrest Designs, Denver, Colorado USAI like the idea of Deep Thoughts, so ominous and important. Sitting around solving problems, contemplating the universe, or perhaps, just remembering to pick up milk on the way home.

Sometimes there’s a “deep thought” nibbling at the surface of my mind, something I can’t quite wrap around, something I can’t recall or can’t formulate. And thinking about thinking, which is what it amounts to, led to thinking about sending a crew to go get those important things I want to deliberate, or cogitate. (Is it just me, or do a lot of verbs about thinking sound like they could be parts of a washing machine cycle?)

Wouldn’t it be great if you could hire a cleaning crew to get rid of some embarrassing moment you want to forget, or a hazmat crew to sanitize your darkest secrets, or a cheerful group of elves to climb into recent memories and retrieve the happy ending to the dream you couldn’t quite recollect when your eyes opened?

Dig in, there are plenty of deep thoughts to go around.
