Painted Marble molding with Greek Key design. From the Parthenon, by Phidias. Athens, Greece, 447 BC - 438 BC. British Museum, London, England. Copyright 2017, James A. Glazier. The poor lighting, awkward angles and highly reflective and dirty glass at the British Museum make seeing anything, let alone photographing it a challenge. Ironic that many Italian museums now have much better display conditions than the British Museum.

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.

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 beauty of this dissection, displayed in Numbers, are the different sidelengths of a Single Pyramid. Namely: One, Sqareroot of Two and Half Squareroot of Three.

Haha now imagine if the windows were otherwise similarly laid out, but instead had been protruded rather than recessed. Wow!

Part of a costume for the stage.
I was commissioned to hand knit a copy of a 1970s (I think) machine knit which has been distressed (holes put in it - the character is impoverished). Oh - it is a male character - please excuse the lady mannequin being used here.
This is my hand-knitted duplicate - with built-in distress to approximate that of the original.
I used 5ply (sports wt) and 4ply (sock wt) woolen yarns.
Couldn't get the slightly yellow beige of the original knit - so I bought a soft pale brown and over-dyed it with tea. Couldn't get a tweed / 2-tone - so used my spinning wheel to ply some lace wt beige (also tea dyed) with the chocolate colour yarn ... Thankfully, the chocolate colour and the reddish tan were obtainable :-)
Was lucky to get the same stitch guage as the original knit - though my row guage was a little looser.
Took 8 days to make including the tea dying - was in such a panic to get this done that I was knitting with the yarn still slightly damp!

A single Cube shows how the same space can form different configurations of shapes. When putting 4 together one can discover the unfolding of the cubic crystalline structure, one that is a basic and ever present building system of Nature. From the formation of Rock Salt Crystals to the arrangement of the Honeycombs in a Beehive. Again there are 5 or more major shapes that will „fall into place“. A nice add on is the possibility to explore the relationship between 2 cubes which in itself is a Full Set to explore.
