CUMC is making a prayer mosaic - each person writes their prayer on broken shards of slate which then become a larger work and collection of prayers. My prayer for my children is on there as well.
A study in creating a realistic leveled crossing (i.e. with the rails sunk into the ground instead of just laying them on top of the roadplate), using fairly common pieces.
I make these ribbon flower applique pieces in the same manner the vintage ones were made. I hand dye all of the ribbon and then form the flowers using traditional French ribbonwork and millinery technigues.There is NO wired ribbon in these. I attach them to a crinoline base as was originally done.
Thses can be used by trimming the crinoline backing and gluing to hat box, art piece, or sew snaps on the back for use on clothing, pillows, or ??
After a marathon session today, I got all the pieces placed. Just need to let it rest for a while and then grout.
pinks, oranges, brown and greens... oh my!

Ana laid this puzzle. The artist is Mort Künstler, an American artist known for his illustrative paintings of the American Civil War.
The location is the home of The Confederate General, Robert E. Lee. The day is April 7, 1861. The battle of Fort Sumter starts April 12, 1861. These officers are saying goodbye to their wives and sweethearts.
To me it is a very sad picture. Eeyore didn't even want his picture taken with this jigsaw. His only question is "what is in the box?"

Ana legte dieses Jigsaw. Der Künstler ist Mort Künstler, ein amerikanischer Künstler für seine Gemälde des amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges bekannt.
Die Lage ist die Heimat der Konföderierten General Robert E. Lee. Der Tag ist Freitag, 7. April 1861. Die Schlacht von Fort Sumter beginnt am 12. April 1861. Diese Offiziere verabschieden sich ihre Frauen und Geliebten.
Für mich ist es ein sehr trauriges Bild. Eeyore hat sein Bild nicht einmal mit diesem Puzzle genommen werden soll. Seine einzige Frage lautet: "Was ist in der Box?"
This was another find in a local store. The box was quite beat up but the pieces inside were still sealed. I haven't done a Bits and Pieces puzzle since the late 1990s, should be fun.
An overview of the pieces of art found in the gallery. A few notes:
Top row: The bee is from a Unikitty set, as well as the piggy next to it that didn't make it into the gallery after all. The ugly dark red figure is a Bionicle "minifigure", the ice sculpture from a City advent calendar.
Second row: The orange thing is mostly from a Moana set, the blue disc from the Dimensions game.
Third row: That silver thing is a Ninjago spinner thing. A brick separator was kinda mandatory. :) The gold sculpture is from an old reverse-engineering contest, and the white thing from Nexo Knights.
Bottom row: Left is a plate from the German footballers CMF.

“Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess” is the first exhibition devoted to exploring the influence of Duchamp’s activities as a chess player on his artistic production. It debuted at the St. Louis University Museum of Art (May 6 – August 16, 2009), and the present gallery exhibition is an expanded version of that show. It will open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art on September 10, 2009 (and run through October 31, 2009).
The exhibition features the magnificent early cubist drawing Study for Portrait of Chess Players (1911), which renders Duchamp’s two brothers—Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon—intently engaged in a game of chess; a large central “X” in the center of the composition represents the precise point where their minds meet, a cerebral focus common to much of Duchamp’s subsequent production. Among the highlights of the show will be an example of the readymade Trébuchet (1917/64), the coat rack that visitors to Duchamp’s studio were expected to trip over (the chess equivalent of a gambit offered in the opening of a game); the Nice chess poster (1925); regular and deluxe examples of his book on endgame strategy (1932); the Pocket Chess Set (1943); and Cupid (1943), a recently discovered original drawing for the announcement of a show at the Julien Levy Gallery (in which Duchamp seems to have embedded a hidden message). A number of photographs of Duchamp either playing chess or seated before a chessboard will also be displayed. A signed, limited edition photograph by Arnold Rosenberg of Marcel Duchamp moving chess pieces behind glass (1958) was issued to commemorate this exhibition.
Also included in the show will be works by a number of Duchamp’s contemporaries—Man Ray, Georges de Zayas, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Leon Kelly, Beatrice Wood, Arman and Sarah Austin—that relate to Duchamp’s involvement with the game of chess, as well as a selection of works by contemporary artists—Charles Juhàsz Alvardo, Mike Bidlo, Donald Bradford, Russell Connor, Ingrid Evans, Mark Kostabi, Sophie Matisse, Daniel Meirom, James Meyer, Trong Gia Nguyen, Yoko Ono, Jennifer Shahade, Diana Thater, Douglas Vogel—some of whom have made works specially for inclusion in this show.
Accompanying the exhibition will be Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess, a book featuring essays by Francis M. Naumann and Bradley Bailey, both of which demonstrate that Duchamp’s identity as a chess player is so thoroughly interfused with his work as an artist that the two activities are aesthetically and conceptually inseparable. The book also includes the analyses of fifteen Duchamp games by Jennifer Shahade (two-time American Women’s Chess Champion). These games will be reenacted in the exhibition on a video monitor, on which visitors will be able to view the movement of the pieces, all laid out in the format of Duchamp’s Pocket Chess Set of 1943.
