I was looking for something to hold my masking tapes
the few ones on Etsy were a bit too expensive and/or not holding enough of them
I went to the art store this morning (my new favorite shop !) & found these two things, originally meant for clay & scultpure (I think)
they were 5 euros each (not that bad), I know they could have been homemade, but I didn't have the proper materials ...

There Was a Man and a Woman
A poem by Stephen Crane
There was a man and a woman
Who sinned.
Then did the man heap the punishment
All upon the head of her,
And went away gaily.
There was a man and a woman
Who sinned.
And the man stood with her.
As upon her head, so upon his,
Fell blow and blow,
And all people screaming, "Fool!"
He was a brave heart.
He was a brave heart.
Would you speak with him, friend?
Well, he is dead,
And there went your opportunity.
Let it be your grief
That he is dead
And your opportunity gone;
For, in that, you were a coward.

I came across a man with a box of African masks in a parking lot one day. He had just picked them up from a resale store where he had them on consignment . He was excited when I showed some interest in them and sold them to me for a great price. They have a wonderful exotic aura which I never tire of.
It´s not my photography. Just edit it and tried something new. The original photo is from Iceman Forever

Handbuilt Ceramic Mask
Title: "Mask Series #3"
Dimensions: 7" H X 7" W
Description:
This is the first in a Mask with Beaded Eye series.
Funky and expressive, this mask portrays a half face, with a cut-out for an eye.
A dangling glass bead hangs in that empty eye space.
This mask is ready to hang, it is already wired - it can be hung on a wall or can be hung in front of a window so that the light shines through the eye (it would be easy for you to attach a clear fishing wire cord to hang it from the ceiling).
So today is really dull and grey, and I was sitting around moping and worrying about my photography work not getting done because of it. So instead I just took a table lamp and made my own makeshift diffuser and used backlight coming in from my window. It turned out quite well considering it's taken in my room in just a few mintues, however the Marilyn Manson poster bugs me, but they are only test shots :)
Bokeh Thursday - 21 June 2012 - Theme : Home Made Bokeh Shapes!
OK - I am always good for a Challenge - not sure how many hundreds of shots I have taken, under all sorts of lights and conditions - and it just ain't gonna happen!! So I present my best attempts, just so I don't wimp out on the challenge.
1. Normal close-up focus through the mask! Daylight but cloudy!
2. (Top right) indoor, normal lighting, normal focus, very slight zoom.
3. Decided to meet the challenge with a Bokeh Mask :-) Outdoor, intermittent sunshine.
4. Through the bokeh mask indoors at night, room lights (flipped).
Blah, Duh, disappointing!! But oh boy, I really tried!! I need someone with a magic wand.
(PS, trying to zoom through the mask brought everything in focus so - no bokeh)
Thanks for your visit, your views and comments (hints and tips) are always very much appreciated.

Taken in Oceania
(September — December 2018)
The year is 1768, and Britain is in the throes of the Age of Enlightenment. As a group of artists agrees to found the Royal Academy, Captain James Cook sets sail on a voyage of discovery to track the transit of Venus and search for terra australis incognita – the unknown southern continent, as Europeans called it. What Cook and his crew encounter on arrival is a vast number of island civilisations covering almost a third of the world’s surface: from Tahiti in Polynesia, to the scattered archipelagos and islands of Melanesia and Micronesia.
The indigenous populations they met came with their own histories of inter-island trade, ocean navigation, and social and artistic traditions. This spectacular exhibition reveals these narratives – celebrating the original, raw and powerful art that in time would resonate across the European artistic sphere.
Oceania brings together around 200 exceptional works from public collections worldwide, and spans over 500 years. From shell, greenstone and ceramic ornaments, to huge canoes and stunning god images, we explore important themes of voyaging, place making and encounter. The exhibition draws from rich historic ethnographic collections dating from the 18th century to the present, and includes seminal works produced by contemporary artists exploring history, identity and climate change.
