This polymer clay piece commemorates my parents' 1958 wedding invitation. I created it using an image transfer of their original wedding invitation, which my mother hand-tinted to show the church where they were married and one of the orchids from her bridal bouquet.
The transfer was made to a Pearl metallic clay base infused with potpourri composed of French Lavender, Sunflower petals, Mauve Pink Bouton rosebud petals, red rose petals, and Egyptian Chamomile buds. The bottom layer is translucent clay tinted with alcohol ink in a lavender color and infused with the potpouri.
This piece is my entry in the March PCAGOE challenge, the theme of which is "Texture".
The actual wedding invitation is in the background. More views are available in my photo stream. Thanks for looking! :)

Echoes of Tomorrow" is a visual ode to a future where artificial intelligence and robotics seamlessly integrate with human aspirations. This series delves into the potentialities of architecture, design, and daily life, transformed by the limitless creativity and precision of AI. It captures a world where physical constraints persist, yet human ingenuity is amplified through the vast possibilities offered by technology. These images offer a glimpse into a plausible future where constructions and landscapes are crafted with a detail and scale currently unimaginable - a tribute to the unforeseen ahead.
Poem:
In the glow of gilded domes agleam,
Where the wheels of time ignite their spark,
She stands, a relic of a bygone dream,
Gazing forth at dawn's impending arc.
She watches robots weave thoughts and steel,
In a choreography of code's own verse,
Where the line betwixt creator and creation
Is blurred in technology's harmonious curse.
We don ourselves in dreams' attire,
Forge bridges from lucid streams of data,
In a world where AI's breath infuses life
Into abodes we cherish, ever fonder.
Haiku:
Golden domes rise high,
Dreams of AI gently bloom,
New dawn, hope descends.

Notes: Félix Bonfils was born in St. Hippolyte du Fort in France in 1831. Originally a bookbinder, in 1860 he enlisted and was sent to the Levant. He liked Lebanon and when his young son Adrien (born 1860) developed respiratory problems, he decided to emigrate. In 1867 the Bonfils family moved to the dry climate of Beirut and opened a photographic studio there. Félix photographed extensively throughout Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Greece. His work is infused with a sense of exploration and love for his medium. The Maison Bonfils eventually became a large, successful business with branches in Cairo, Alexandria and France. The studio was famous for its Middle Eastern views, and profited from the enormous popularity of organized tours that had opened up tourism in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

It's my second season growing echinacea, and I love nothing more than to sit and watch the insects that visit.
This little spotted lady beetle found its way into the Studio with me, so I indulged in a little fun with it.

This is a photograph of my new friends 'Glazed' and 'Infused.'
Those are their new 'street names' because they happened to be standing under that window twistin' a 'homeroll'... gettin' ready to eat a sanguich and providing me with a photo opportunity while engaging in an altercation with someone else.
'Yo waddup Glazed?'
''Sgoin' on Infused?'
Chicago really is the friendliest of big cities.
We might try and look all tough and bad...
but deep down we're alright.
It's a special kind of love that we've got for each other.
You gotta know how to roll with it.
Chicago-Love!

Chamomile tea has been consumed for hundreds of years. It is made by infusing German chamomile (Matricaria recutita), a member of the sunflower family, in hot water. Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is also beneficial, but most research has been done on German chamomile and it is the most commonly used in teas.
Here are eight health benefits of this popular tea:
Better Sleep
Chamomile tea's most well-known benefit is as a sleep aid. It is known for its relaxing and soothing properties and is often taken before bed to promote restful sleep.
Stomach Soother
Peter Rabbit's mother was right to give him chamomile after he ate too much in Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. Chamomile is helpful for a variety of stomach problems. It soothes stomach aches, eases the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, promotes elimination, and assists in overall digestion. It is often found in teas for digestion in combination with peppermint.
Menstrual Cramps
The ancient Egyptians used it to soothe menstrual cramps and now science is catching up. One study found that drinking chamomile tea raised urine levels of glycine, a compound that calms muscle spasms. Researchers believe this is why chamomile tea helps menstrual cramps.
Hemmorrhoid Help
One study found that chamomile ointment was helpful in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
Cold Fighter
Chamomile has immune boosting properties and helps in the fight against colds due to its antibacterial properties.
Wound Healing
The Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks used chamomile flowers in a poultice and applied them to wounds to speed healing. They must've been on to something. In one study, rats given chamomile extract in their water experienced faster wound healing times.
Diabetes Management
Chamomile tea is being studied for its beneficial effects in the management of diabetes. In one study, daily consumption of chamomile tea was found to prevent the progression of diabetic complications and hyperglycemia.
Cancer
In-vitro studies show possible protection against several different types of cancer cells.

Precautions
Some people have serious allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) to chamomile. If you are allergic to other plants in the same family such as daisy, ragweed, aster, chrysanthemum, or marigold you should use caution when using chamomile.
Chamomile should be avoided during pregnancy because it may act as a uterine stimulant and therefore increase the chance of abortion.
People with bleeding disorders or on blood thinners should avoid chamomile, as it contains coumarin and may increase the chance of bleeding.
Peach infused. The grain used is grown & processed in Montana. The quality is so good that vodka distilled here has a 190 proof rating, higher than the former gold standard for grain alcohol, Everclear. Infusion with raw huckleberries can take place i@n significantly shorter time than other vodkas. But is it drinkable? Not by me by itself. Just a bit of the Huckelberry on the tongue burns like fire. Apparently good in mixed drinks.
At FlintCo Beverages, we understand our clients needs for a hearty, meat flavored liquor. Through a long process of using only the best of ingredients, we've created our limited run porcine-flavored drink. As we like to say around the stainless steel masher late at night, "We will serve no bacon before its time."
Made this cake for my business partners birthday. I was late by a month or two, but better late than never! Entirely from scratch, it uses Van Houten chocolate powder for the cake base and Spanish dark chocolate infused with brandy for the frosting. Bought a bag of unsalted hazelnuts and roasted them in our kitchen burner to bring out the flavor. Success!
This is a screen shot from a short video I shot with iPhone 6. It was then digitally manipulated through a few apps for an animated rotoscoped Van Gogh style. The entire project was completed while traveling 2 1/2 hours home from the desert.
I woke up not well.
Maybe, not ill. But not right.
During the night I had got so hot I couldn't sleep with any covers on, so had a broken night's sleep/snoozing.
I took a COVID test which was negative, and apart from feeling tired I didn't feel that ill, to be honest. I should have my temperature taken. We looked for one, and couldn't find the one we though we had.
No worries, we were going to Tesco.
And after seven, we left for the store with the added item to the list. Now, you would think thermometer would be in the medicine aisle near the chemists counter? Well, I did, and searched and searched.
No thermometer.
So, waited to eight when the dispensary opened, asked the lady, who told me that thermometers are kept in the "baby" aisle.
Of course?
THere was the choice of one. So, bought that for £14, and once home found that it was more of a cooking thermometer, we tried to use it on ourselves, with me being 36 degrees, and Jools being one degree cooler.
I didn't want breakfast, so after a second coffee we went out.
We should have gone to Rye last week, but I arranged something else instead. So, we went yesterday.
Rye means crossing the vast expanse of the Romney Marsh and then crossing at Checkpoint Charlie into East Sussex.
We were last here in November 2020, in the middle of COVID where I think we obeyed regulations in place at the time. That time we had the picturesque cobbled streets and half-timbered houses to ourselves, no one else about, and so few folks about, grass grew from between the cobbles.
So, no need to take those shots again, but I realised when Jools suggested to go, I hadn't photographed the town church, so with Jools saying she was going to do some window shopping, I would visit St Mary the Virgin.
We parked down beside the playing field, so had a walk up the hill emerging on the High Street near the Landgate, then turning towards the centre of town, past restaurants and small shops until I turned up towards the church.
I did a resonable job, taking 355 shots inside it, with many being of the fine windows.
Jools arrived revealing a bag containing £41.00 of cheese, including a sizeable chunk of Stiking Bishop.
I finish the shots, so we go to the pie shop outside the church, Simon the Pieman, where we were going to have a drink. Then added a cake, which turned into a full cream tea.
A cream tea is: 2 x scones (each), pats of butter, strawberry jam, clotted cream, a pot of tea, pot of hot water to add to the por after the first cupper is drawn and a china cup and saucer for the tea.
Its not as an ancient ceremony as the Japanese or Chinese tea ceremony, but we Brits take it very seriously.
Just as serious is whether you put the cream or jam on the sclied scones first. Jam first is the "Devon" way, and cream first is the "Cornish" way. I was taught the Devon way, jam first, so that's what I had yesterday too.
The town was beginning to fill up with other visitors, to the point that the pavements were full, so we walked as quick as we could back to the car, back down the hill and over the main road to the car.
Back home via New Romney, Dymchurch and Hythe before heading to the motorway and to home.
Back home I had a shower and then settled down to listen to the football on the sofa with Scully, who is now very demanding in wanting a partner to lay with during the day and evenings.
But there was one last thing to do: Jools's colleague Sean and his wife, Angela, were coming for dinner. They had hear stories about the steaks I cook, and wanted some of that action. On Friday I had made a baked vanilla cheesecake too, so we had dessert too.
Steam was defrosted, seasons and rubbed with oil and left for the afternoon to come to room temperature and infuse the flavours.
They arrived at five, wine was cracked opn, and bit by bit I prepared, then cooked the meal. Potatoes zapped, mushrooms cliced and seasoned, steak cut into portions, then griddled, while the potatoes were sliced and fried, mushrooms cooked, the all dished up.
And all items were done to perfection, served on warm plates and with glasses of wine or cider.
We wash up, then I make coffees and serve the cheesecake with cream and fresh mushrooms. A fine end to a meal.
More wine was drunk.
Much more talking done.

For more than 900 years the Parish Church of Rye, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, has dominated the hill on which the old town stands.
When the building of the present church was started, early in the 12th century, the town itself and much of the surrounding area was still held, under a Royal deed of gift, by the Abbey of Fecamp in Normandy. It is because of this link with Fecamp and the fact that it had become an important member of the Cinque Ports Confederation that Rye has such a magnificent church, which has sometimes been called 'the Cathedral of East Sussex'.
The worst disaster in the church's history 1377 when the town was looted and set on fire by French invaders and the church was extensively damaged. The roof fell in and the church bells were carried off to France.They were recovered the next year when men from Rye and Winchelsea sailed to Normandy, set fire to two towns and recovered much of the loot, including the church bells - one of which was subsequently hung in Watchbell Street, to give warning of any future attack. It was not returned to the church until early in the 16th century.
The 'new' clock was installed in about 1561-2 and was made by the Huguenot Lewys Billiard. It isone of the church clockoldest church turret clocks in the country still functioning. The pendulum, a much later addition, swings in the body of the church. The present exterior clockface and the original 'Quarter Boys' (so called because they strike the quarters but not the hours) were added in 1760. Today, if you wish, you can climb the church tower where you will see the 8 bells now hanging there. These are not the same bells that were stolen in 1377 as they were re-cast in 1775 and new bells added. The total weight of the 8 bells and clappers is almost 5 tons.
St Mary's is open to View South West from the Towervisitors every day of the year, except for Christmas Day, from 9.15am - 5.15pm in summer and 9.15am - 4.15pm in winter. The Visitor Centre stocks a good range of postcards, Christian greetings cards, prayer cards, books, gifts and Christian jewellery. The Tower, which is open every day (weather permitting) for a charge, has become a popular place for marriage proposals!
