 ...preferably mine too! That blue ribbon is awfully lonely! :-0

Shot in the Closet of Doom with a 40w blue-tinted light bulb in one of my big floods, and illumination from 3 finger blue LEDs for closer work. Had a celestial skirt draped over a round occasional table, the crystal ball is in fact a glass candleholder inverted over a tiny cast-iron cauldron, in which the LEDs rested. I am wearing the same wig I wore for the Led Zeppelin challenge. A ton of bangles and bracelets on both arms, a headscarf and a teeny little top I made yonks ago. And my usual fearsome snaffles expression ;-)

Blue is cold. Warmer tones might be more mystical for the concept.

Grog visit wizened ancient one. Ask to tell future for Grog. She say Grog will be even greater than now. Bah! Ancient one is fake teller-of-future. Easy for all to see that Grog will only be greater!

ROFL....I thought I might have seen one in mine too but, I think my ball is as cracked as yours! ;) Made me laugh and that is worthy of a 7 in my books!
