My Death Note came without shoes. I contacted another DN owner here and her doll was without shoes also.
Dominatrix garb with a weird doll.... I guess I find the combination strange not the doll itself.
Things of beauty.
I often forget the small things that inspire me. One of them is old currency. I have a small collection. These are pre Bolshevik revolution Rubles. The further back you go in time, you can literally see why we call these things "bank notes". They literally used to be these huge notes from a bank saying "yeah, we agree to pay blah blah X amount".
The artistry and style that goes into these things is amazing. And even better, you can pick up these little bits of history really quite cheaply from a bunch of places.

I have recently created my first Princess Diana repaint and this time I'm very pleased and excited to share my second Princess Diana repaint. Her wedding has got to be one of the most iconic moments in Royal history and it is for that reason that I created this doll - again out of a Franklin Mint Princess Diana doll.
Repaint is a new form of pop art, wherein the doll's face is treated like a three dimensional canvas, with the added challenge of painting within a very small area . Since dolls are basically miniature pieces, brush strokes and shading have to be very controlled and precise.
-- acrylic paint and ultra fine brushes

Australia's first purpose built government office - a home for the Colonial Treasury
Notes from the NSW Treasury website:
"New South Wales's Colonial Treasury Department was established on the 28 April 1824 and was located at the official residence of the first Colonial Treasurer, Mr William Balcombe. Balcombe's private quarters and the Treasury office were housed under the one roof, his wife and children upstairs, the government transactions attended to below. The Treasury building, located on the western corner of Bent and O'Connell Streets Sydney had been built by convict labour for William Cox the Paymaster of the 102nd Regiment just prior to Balcombe's arrival in the Colony.
"The security at O'Connell Street was not considered adequate and in May 1827 the Treasury was directed to move to a building within the Barrack Walls at Barrack Square where the security arrangements were considered more adequate for safeguarding the Civil and Military money of the Government.
"Over the following decades the Colonial Treasury was relocated on a number of occasions for reasons of either security or financial expediency. The Department remained, however, close to the Governor's domain, the precincts of Parliament House, the Colonial Secretary and later the Premier.
"In 1840 the Colonial Treasury together with the Auditor General's Office occupied the dilapidated residence of an earlier Colonial Secretary Mr Alexander McLeay The building occupied land that stood between the sites of the future Lands and Education Departments and soon to be demolished to make way for the dedication of Loftus Street.
"The new Colonial Treasury building in Macquarie Street, commenced in 1849, was the first purpose-built government office in Sydney. This elegant sandstone building with slate roof was designed by the Colonial Architect Mortimer William Lewis and was sited on land which had been part of the Governor's Domain, his vineyard.
"The Treasury building opened for the transaction of business on the 17 October 1851 having been completed by Edmund Blacket and was shared with the Audit Office. The Treasury entrance was on Macquarie Street, the Audit Office entered from Bridge Street.
"The old Treasury Building, 117-119 Macquarie Street, Sydney now forms part of the Inter-Continental Hotel. Heritage architects have described the building as having 'fine Georgian elevations of exceptional scale, proportion and detailing' contributing 'greatly to the sandstone townscape aesthetic of the Government precinct as well as being an excellent example of the craft work of its period".

After 4 years of joint R&D efforts with SEAS, Audio Note introduces a hemp-coned woofer to replace its long-standing paper woofer, beginning with the HE series of speakers. Greater stiffness yields superior resolution of low--level detail.
I discovered these mock bank notes in a random shop and loved them. They are quite detailed (with more pictures on the back) and there is one for every Tudor monarch, the six wives and Prince Arthur. I love how they say very blatantly – ‘this note is not legal tender’. As if someone needed to be alerted to that...
Clarinetto: Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera StoriaLo strumento più antico che adotta il principio dell'ancia semplice è il memet egiziano, costituito da una coppia di canne e conosciuto dal 2700 a.C. Esistono vari tipi di strumenti che adottano questo principio tra cui le launeddas sarde, conosciute dal 900 a.C. Sullo stesso principio si basa lo chalumeau, il predecessore del clarinetto, costituito da un tubo cilindrico di canna alla cui parte superiore c'era un'incisione fatta per ricavare l'ancia.
Lo chalumeau fu soggetto ad innovazione attorno al 1690 da parte di Joahnn Christian Denner, un artigiano di Norimberga. Lo strumento di Denner aveva sei fori anteriori e uno posteriore e due chiavi chiuse, una posta sopra i fori anteriori e l'altra su quello posteriore, che chiudevano altri due fori. Successivamente Denner e i suoi figli hanno spostato il foro della chiave posteriore e lo hanno rimpicciolito per poterlo utilizzare sia come chiave del Sib, sia come foro portavoce, aprendo quindi le porte del registro superiore o "registro di clarino".
Il termine clarinetto appare per la prima volta nel 1732 nel "Musicalishes Lexicon" di Johan Gottfried Walther in cui è scritto: "Sentito a distanza, esso suona piuttosto come una tromba". Ciò spiega il nome clarinetto derivato da clarino, termine oggigiorno utilizzato impropriamente, che indica uno strumento appartenente alla famiglia delle trombe. Il clarinetto ebbe un suono penetrante probabilmente fino al principio del 1800; si ritiene così perché i metodi per imparare a suonare il clarinetto pubblicati dal 1850 sottolineano il suono "ora più pieno, dolce e piacevole" dei clarinetti precedenti.
Lo sviluppo del clarinetto continua nel 1740 quando Jacob Denner (figlio di Joahnn Christian) aggiunse al clarinetto una lunga chiave aperta per realizzare il Si3 (prima impossibile), riempiendo questo "buco nell'estensione dello strumento e portandolo all'estensione attuale. Nei decenni successivi diversi artigiani hanno fatto tentativi per migliorare lo strumento, senza ottenere risultati rilevanti. Un passo importante è stato fatto da Ivan Müller, un musicista parigino nato in Russia. Müller costruì un clarinetto dalle caratteristiche rivoluzionarie. Il suo strumento aveva tredici chiavi con un nuovo tipo di cuscinetti e con i fori cigliati. Quello di Müller è stato il primo clarinetto a poter suonare in tutte le tonalità. Nel 1812 fu esaminato dagli specialisti del conservatorio di Parigi e, nonostante le sue notevoli potenzialità, fu rifiutato. Nonostante ciò il clarinetto di Müller ha posto le basi al clarinetto tedesco.
Successive modifiche al clarinetto sono state apportate da Hyacinthe Eléonore Klosé, il produttore del clarinetto "sistema Boehm". Klosé ha basato il suo lavoro su quello fatto da Theobald Boehm che introdusse sul flauto le chiavi ad anello. Klosé adottò gli anelli sul clarinetto, adottò i fori cigliati di Müller e aggiunse nuove chiavi per un totale di diciassette. Questo strumento era facile da gestire e dava la possibilità di suonare in tutte le tonalità. Fu Klosé stesso ad esibirlo per la prima volta a Parigi nel 1839. Oggi è il tipo di clarinetto più diffuso.
Al clarinetto di Müller gli anelli sono stati applicati da Carl Bärmann. Poi Oskar Oehler modificò la posizione delle chiavi adattandole alle caratteristiche delle mani e migliorando quelle acustiche. Questo è il clarinetto attualmente utilizzato in Germania e, con piccole differenze, in Austria.
Il clarinetto è tuttora sottoposto a miglioramenti tecnici. Si cerca di ottenere caratteristiche acustiche sempre migliori e maggiore maneggevolezza da parte degli esecutori. Tra i contemporanei che più di altri si sono cimentati nel migliorare lo strumento sono da ricordare il clarinettista Rosario Mazzeo e lo svizzero Renè Hagmann.
