Color Magick - Gotham

Costumes are one way to invoke the characters of Batman.

Omgitsemilyc (Maiden of Mischief) was kind enough to let me feature her photography in this article. The confidence and skill of cosplayers is awe-inspiring.

Color can be used to evoke the heroes and villains of Gotham in artwork and magical works.

I once took a lampworking class (Lampworking is sitting over an open propane torch and shaping glass into beads. It's a blast.). There was a little mold that let me make a skull-shaped bead. I used white, green, purple, and red glass rods for the skull. It was my little Joker skull bead.
