Vision Serpent tutorial

Temple of Quetzalcoatl


I've been a little tardy getting this tutorial up, in part because I have to write something to go with it. But it's another great tutorial from the hard working Tagcatz, this time using my Temple of Quetzalcoatl taggers kit.

Click on the blinkie below to go to Tagcatz blog. You can try the tutorial at Tagcatz.com

Tagcatz Blinkie


Pretty soon I'm gonna have to be like Jess and open my own Creative Team blog. LOL. In the meantime....

Debbie had asked if I follow the Toltec Way or the Mayan Prophecies. The answer, in brief, is no. Many, many years ago, we had a week's worth of the Mayan Prophies in my Occult Sciences class, and I've brushed up against them here and there over the years, but I've never been a serious student of them.

The Toltecs were an ancient culture chiefly located in what is now the pyramid ruins of Teotihuacan in the high midlands of Mexico. In a tradition that dates back thousands of years and continues today, the Toltec were known throughout Mexico as men and women of knowledge. One interpretation of the word Toltec is artist. They considered the manner in which you lived your life as your art, thus the Toltec way was not a religion but more accurately a way of life.

To be a serious student of the Toltec way, you not only have to study it, you have to live it as well.

The Mayan Prophecies focus on the 2012 phenomenon, which comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012, which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed, but none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.

A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that during this time, Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios posited for the end of the world include the Earth's collision with a passing planet (often referred to as "Nibiru") or black hole, or the arrival of the next solar maximum.

I think my ex would probably believe that the "aliens that left us here" (no, don't ask) will be coming back in 2012, but I'll leave it at that.

So far we've already survived the Y2K bug - kind of let down wasn't it? - and doomologists have been predicting the end of the world for ages, but we're still around.

I would imagine if we're going to get eaten by a black hole, science will give a fair warning, but...who knows?

Right now, with the way my life has been going, I'm just trying to get through one day at time. I'll worry about December 21, 2012, when it gets a little closer. ;)

New from Digicats (& Dogs): Because the Night

New from Digicats (& Dogs): Dark Continent

Mandy and Rainy Day Jo where wondering why all the taggers kits had female posers. I pointed out that most taggers were female, and so we sort of identified with the posers or artwork we were using. However, just to make them happy comes another "beefcake" taggers kit! ;)

The kit title is derived from a 19th century expression previously used to describe Africa, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa. As little was known about the continent's interior geography, map-makers would often leave this region dark - hence "The Dark Continent".

Dark Continent Preview


Taken from his home as a child, chained and forced to fight, the warrior has won free and returns now to the land of his birth. What future awaits for him, on the Dark Continent?

This is a beautiful African-fantasy taggers kit with 20 (800 x 800 pxl, .jpg) papers and 96 beautiful elements including 3 "Barbarian" posers by (c)Perfect Poser.

Also included are 10 frames, 5 frangipani, 5 hibiscus, 5 raffia bows, 5 ropes, 5 tags, 4 ferns, 4 grass, 4 masks, 4 palm trees, 3 birds, 3 butterflies, 3 leaves, 3 pythons, 2 elephants, 2 parchments, 2 rusted chains, 2 vines, 1 charm, 1 cheetah, 1 collar, 1 drum, 1 giraffe mask, 1 giraffe, 1 Gothic flames, 1 iron star, rusted, 1 jaguar, 1 metal pitcher, 1 monkey, 1 panther brooch, 1 pillar, 1 shield, 1 skull alter, 1 skull, 1 skull pile, 1 sun, 1 tiger, 1 torn cardboard, 1 vase, and 1 white elephant.

Let your imagination take flight as you follow the warrior into the heart of darkest Africa.

300 DPI. Personal use only please.

Digi's Trinket Trove

I had some down time, internet wise late last week, so I put it to good use and went through one of my trinket boxes with my digital camera. I should have done this BEFORE I did the Metallica kit as found this great Metallica pin I forgot I had. LOL.

Kit Preview,Commercial Use


So my second CU grab bag is now in stores. Most of it is taggers size, the tribal necklace is large tagger size. I don't have a macro on my camera, so when I try to get in closer the items blur out. So we're stuck with taggers.

Oh. You want to know what's IN it? Oh. Okay.

Commercial Use


Inside this lovely brown paper bag are 2 wolf's head charms, 2 small pewter skulls, 1 Anubis pendant, 1 cat brooch, 1 cobra pendant, 1 Eye of Horus charm, 1 Metallica pin, 1 panther brooch, 1 rose ring, 1 ruin stone, 1 silver ring, 1 skull pin, and 1 tribal necklace.

300 DPI. CU Okay. No credit required.
