This is a single Magic-Cube consits of 12 individual Pyramids. Each one connected on two sides and carrying rare-earth magnets to help stabilize the major structures. A single Cube has 36 magnets. There are 5 major shapes that will „fall into place“, meaning the magnets will pull it together and no hinge is left flexible. As a toy the Cube posesses the challenge of a Riddle to unlock the different Shapes or to find the paths of shortest movement between them. As Art it can be left Standing, or with the supplied Wallmount, be displayed as a hanging Object.

The Åžehzade Mosque (Turkish: Åžehzade Camii) is a mosque in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Suleiman I and was built by architect Mimar Sinan between 1543 and 1548. It was considered by architectural historians as Sinan's first masterpiece of classical Ottoman architecture
Interior of the mosque
Interior of the mosque
The mosque has a square plan, covered by a central dome, flanked by four half-domes. The dome is supported by four piers, and has a diameter of 19 meters and it is 37 meters high. Şehzade complex (Külliye) is situated between Fatih and Bayezid complexes. The Külliye consists of the mosque, the tomb (turbe) of Prince Mehmet (which was built prior to the mosque), two schools (medresa), kitchen for the poor and a caravansarai. The mosque and its courtyard are surrounded by a wall that separates them from the rest of the complex.
I just realised that I never posted this piece here.
This piece measures 12 3/8 square (31.5cm). I've used 4 different textures of clear iridescent glass along with violet textured glass and glass faceted jewels.
This exquisite designed flower pot was made by Malibu Potteries, a ceramic tile manufacturer located on the Rancho Malibu, in 1930.
The Rancho Malibu had been purchased in 1891 by Fredrick Hastings Rindge and his wife, May. The Rancho was a 22 mile slice of unspoilt paradise bounded by the Malibu Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
In 1926, May Rindge stated the Malibu Potteries. She had discovered that the Rancho was rich in the natural resources, red and buff burning clays, needed to manufacture high-grade ceramic tile. The Potteries, carried a full line of tile for almost every architectural purpose, exterior and interior. The tiles of the Malibu Potteries are among the most beautiful, finely detailed, and well executed pieces of their kind ever manufactured locally. Their production was distinguished by the specialization in reproductions of European hand decorated tiles, specifically designs from the Islamic sacred art tradition of Saracen and Moorish decorative tile. The designs, inspired by Islamic craftsmen, consist of primarily abstract patterns and geometric forms including stylized plant forms. It is not generally known how the Potteries gained access to these designs. It seems that some designs were copied from books while some were obtained from people who traveled in Europe.
The tile was used extensively at the residence of May's daughter, Rhoda Rindge Adamson, for the Adamson Beach House. The architect for the beach house was Stiles Clements of Morgan , Walls and Clements. The Adamson House was designed in a Mediterranean style with authentic Moorish and Spanish details throughout. The house is a masterpiece in the use of architectural decorative tile, also custom-designed for this house. It is used on the exterior and interior and is the dominant motif of the building. It is used for floor coverings, wainscoting, fireplaces, wall and ceiling surfaces, outdoor terraces and fountains, built in benches, the swimming pool and bath house. The designs are numerous and exquisite in their detail, beauty, color, craftsmanship, and variety.
In 1968, the Adamson Beach House and 13 acres of gardens and beaches, now designated on the National Register of Historic Sites as well as the State Register of Historic Places, were acquired by the State of California to add to and expand Malibu Lagoon State Park. The Adamson Beach House serves as the greatest surviving testimony to the artistry of Malibu Potteries' dazzling production.

From the Musée du quai Branly, Paris, France. Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Copyright 2016, James A. Glazier I found the show disappointing, with insufficient coverage of native American tattooing traditions and a lack of thematic and historical scope. Saw a much better exhibit in Mexico in January at UNAM.

Sterling Silver Triangular Box with Eye of Providence Motif.
This great little box is made of sterling silver and an earring I found in my studio.
I was making a triangular box and found an earring that looked like an eye, so I took the earring apart and used them together to make "The Eye of Providence".
The eye is made of sterling silver, resin and I believe a black onyx bead - a found object. It is attached to the box using a fine silver bezel.
The rest of the box is sterling silver.
I scratched the top of the box to represent sunbeams radiating from the eye.
The surface of the box is a sandpaper finish except for the bottom.
The top and bottom of the box form a tight pressure fit seal.
The box measures, not including the eye:
Height: 0.75 inch 19.05 mm
Width: 2 inch 50.8 mm
Depth: 1 inch 25.4mm
