Happy Friday!

I learned that the barbie electrodes are SO tiny, that my normal methods of sealing on electrodes actually put too much heat and stress on the seal where the wires come in- so I remade it in noviol and ruby with my flames adjusted for the electrodes. After bending those super tiny letters, it was right back to the big letters which were big enough to fully encompass the NO KINGS in the 15mm tube diameter of the big purple.

Pretty excited with how this NO KINGS necklace came out. The one design flaw is the battery barrel jack placement on the back... and maybe next time I will underfill the neon inside so it fits better on one battery powered transformer.

My Minneapolis friends say they want anti ice neon. I do have an ICE handbag, but I wanna design about loving immigrant neighbors.

You can see this in person tonight at Urbanglass Fire Horse hot glass hangout, Friday 6-8pm, downtown Brooklyn.

#Movies

I was in the mood & just watched #ReadyPlayerOne (RP1) & #BatteriesNotIncluded (BNI) for some hybrid animated fun.

Even though I'm not a #VideoGame player anymore, I really like RPI which I'd rate an 8 for entertainment value.

RPI was directed by #Spielberg. Great special effects, great pacing, great action & great integration between live shots & animation. I recommend watching it if you've never seen it before.

I always thought that BNI was also directed by Spielberg. That's not the case but its shot in his style. BNI (1987) stars #JessicaTandy & #HumeCronyn as a "older" couple who are trying to be forced out of their home (which also contains their business) by a real estate developer. They also co-starred together as a couple in #Cocoon (1985) who are visited by a family of mechanical devices.

It's just an innocent, fun family movie. I'd give it a 7 & also recommend it if you haven't seen it before.
