The Dark Crystal was a very formative film for me. I made my own creature puppets as a consquence, and I’ve been a sucker for crystals ever since. Playing RPGs reinforced that susceptibility, so this glowy stall in nearby Spitalfields market transfixed me. The vendor explained how Himalayan crystal salts can cure any ailment, too so naturally I bought the lot and am currently trying to figure out how to cram them into the gem sockets on my Wacom.
