This gold, pearl and amethyst brooch features two particularly fine brilliant cut amethysts and nine seed pearls. It is Edwardian and with its Art Nouveau design, was made in the first decade of the twentieth century. It is very likely a brooch made for a suffragette, featuring two of the three universal suffrage colours of white and purple. It was possibly worn against something green as the representation of the final colour. Brooches and other jewellery like this was a subtle way for suffragettes to communicate their allegiance to the movement with one another.
(Private collection)
Edwardian jewellery is renowned for its delicate, beautifully crafted designs. In contrast to Victorian jewellery, many pieces created during the Art Nouveau period were made in a very feminine fashion, using finer smaller stones and very light settings made possible by using platinum.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 18th of March is “jewellery (selective colour)”. I decided to select the purple of the amethysts as my selective colour, and accentuated it to draw out some of the blues that were created in the stone created by the black velvet on which the brooch sits. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

There are few way to make selective colour in RT. If colour appears just in one place, the easiest way is to use CH Equalizer in L*A*B* Adjustments.
Some artifacts on other parts of the image may be expected.

A solitary red rose still in quite nice condition made for a good 'test shot' using the Minolta Celtic lens more directly straight into the sun which gave some interesting bokeh effects.

Was ist 2024 vom Kunsthaus Tacheles geblieben?
Als Kunsthaus Tacheles wurde zwischen 1990 und 2012 ein Kunst- und Veranstaltungszentrum bekannt in einem vor dem Abriss geretteten Gebäudeteil eines ehemaligen Kaufhauses an der Oranienburger Straße im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte.
Die Redewendung „Tacheles reden“ (von hebräisch tachlit (תכלית) ‚Ziel‘, ‚Zweck‘; jiddische Bezeichnung für ‚Klartext‘) bedeutet: direkt die unverblümte Wahrheit sagen, jemandem ohne Zurückhaltung ungeschminkt die Meinung sagen, Klartext reden; ein heikles Thema ansprechen; offen und deutlich reden.
Zu den Besetzern der Ruine gehörten auch Musiker der Ost-Berliner Band Tacheles. Die Künstlerinitiative Tacheles, die das Haus 1990 besetzte, gab sich aufgrund der Probleme, die die freie Meinungsäußerung zu DDR-Zeiten mit sich brachte, diesen Namen. So mussten viele Botschaften in Musik, Film und Kunst zweideutig versteckt werden. Das Durchbrechen dieser Zweideutigkeit in der Kunst war ein Ziel der Künstlergruppe. Mit der Zeit ging der Name der Gruppe auf das Gebäude selbst über.
Nach Verkauf wurde das Tacheles unter Erhalt der historischen Fassade umfangreich saniert und zusätzlich auf dem Gelände elf neue Gebäude mit Büroflächen, Wohnungen und Einzelhandelsflächen errichtet.
Der Bebauungsplan schreibt vor, dass das Tacheles-Gebäude, der historische Flügel der Friedrichstraßenpassage, künftig wieder kulturell genutzt werde. Im Herbst 2023 wurde auf dem früheren Areal die Kunsthalle Fotografiska Berlin eröffnet.
Bei meinem Besuch am 3.4.2024 fand ich an der alten Mauer im Durchgang auf das Gelände eine thematisch aktuelle Wandmalerei, die Bezug nimmt auf die am 1.4.2024 unter bestimmten Regeln erfolgte Legalisierung von Cannabis in Deutschland.

What remains of the Kunsthaus Tacheles in 2024?
Between 1990 and 2012, an art and event center became known as Kunsthaus Tacheles in a part of a former department store on Oranienburger Straße in the Mitte district of Berlin that was saved from demolition.
The phrase “Tacheles to speak” (from Hebrew tachlit (תכלית) 'goal', 'purpose'; Yiddish term for 'plain language') means: to speak the blunt truth directly, to express one's opinion to someone without reserve, to speak plain language; address a sensitive topic; speak openly and clearly.
The occupiers of the ruins also included musicians from the East Berlin band Tacheles. The Tacheles artists' initiative, which occupied the house in 1990, gave itself this name because of the problems that freedom of expression brought with it during the GDR era. So many messages in music, film and art had to be hidden ambiguously. Breaking through this ambiguity in art was one of the artists' group's goals. Over time, the group's name was transferred to the building itself.
After the sale, the Tacheles was extensively renovated while preserving the historic facade and eleven new buildings with office space, apartments and retail space were also built on the site.
The development plan stipulates that the Tacheles building, the historic wing of the Friedrichstrasse passage, will be used for cultural purposes again in the future. In autumn 2023, the Kunsthalle Fotografiska Berlin opened on the former site.
During my visit on April 3, 2024, I found a thematically current wall painting on the old wall in the passage to the site, which refers to the legalization of cannabis in Germany on April 1, 2024 under certain rules.

"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness." - William Arthur Ward (American motivational writer).
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 28th of December is "smiley in selective colour", a theme chosen because this is the last theme of this year. Where does the time go? Now this theme sounds fairly easy in comparison to some we have had this year, but whereas some of those more difficult themes have been easy for me, this one was far more challenging. Why? Because I don't have a single smiley in the house, and I have no idea where to get one from. So, I decided the only solution was to draw my own, which I did with my beloved Derwent Studio pencils. I did that on purpose partially because I needed a smiley, but also, because the theme is selective colour, I wanted to show the name of the colours I used in the photo in the black and white portion of the photo. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile like my smiley!
As this is the last "Smile on Saturday" before the New Year, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy New Year. May the year ahead be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
