Today was a day of so many "high flying" moments. I felt like a child on a neverending sugar rush. I'm blessed by the people that touch my life by small and great acts, but more so by their willingness to love me. While showing my mum RapaciousCurls' new Facebook page (my 'brand' name for my Etsy shop and creations) she remarked: "You have unique friends Maddie. They are like your jar of buttons." I made sure to clarify if that was a good thing or not. She simply replied "I love you." Conversations with mum are the best.
Today was also a day to examine self-image, selfies, and what we find beautiful in ourselves. The scars, the "ugliness", and what we must fight against in this world to enforce "We will not SEE what you (the world) see. We will see the beauty. We will see what God has created and we will know it is wonderful and to be praised."
That's my soapbox...and I'm sticking to it. Do you see what I did there? ;)

As a twenty-one year old woman, I am often faced with the need and desire to fulfill two or more conflicting roles. By showing the audience only the black and white, I encourage them to reflect on their own gray areas. I use quilts, traditionally a woman's medium, as sites to talk about sexuality, self-image, and stereotypes.

The onset of my hereditary baldness from my Mother's side of the gene-pool has prompted a whole new addition to my daily vanity regimen, namely keeping my head shaved.
My insistence on calling the bumfluff on my chin a beard means I also need to manage it.
Looking back through this photo archive, I've recorded some of the more silly things I've done with my hair (links to which I do not include here, except to say they're in there if you really want to look). But now I'm resigned to the balding - an upcoming 52 Gerund - and, if I'm honest, kind of like it.
The prospect of getting older has never troubled me, nor has the idea that I haven't acheived everything I wanted to at an arbitraty point in my life. That's not to say I like everything about where my life is these days - I definetely don't want to be bald but, as with many things in life, somtimes there's just nothing for it.
Balding then - perhaps not a sign of maturity in my case, but at the very least a sign of aging and, as a result, one more reminder that we can't always control everything we'd like to in our lives.
And that's just fine.

I asked this kind lady for a photo when I saw that knitted Lion Hat. While edited I noticed your pierced eyebrow (cool!) which I missed the first time. You obviously have a sense of humour about yourself. I like that. I forgot to ask your name. Ooops.
Thanks Madam. Best wishes.

Bonjour Flickr,
Here's an older picture i took this summer. I really like this picture, everything about it really. Didn't turn out the best quality but OH WELL, can't always get the perfect picture.
I found this old camera in a tone of my parents old junk and fell in LOVE. I really enjoy old, antique things.
Enjoy xo
this was back in November when I turned 22, I always upload one of these each year but forgot & came across this now as I'm trying to fix up my website. la de da
Beauty and self-image have been on my mind lately. Society’s view of beauty seems cruel and distorted, and so many beautiful people are unhappy with the way they look. What happens when everyone is uncomfortable with their own image? What happens now? Are we not replacing natural beauty with scars, insecurity, and deep sadness? How fascinating that now even mannequins look melancholy.

The Crushing Disappointment of boredom, poverty and rejection.
OK, unemployment has just stopped being fun and great and wonderful, and is now just boring and painful and I've had enough.
My room when I was 15-17; It was an upstairs room. Notice the old metal wardrobe. See a self-portrait of me at the time.
My parents let me draw superheroes on the walls. I have a lot of good memories of being there. The house is no longer standing because it burned down due to faulty wiring a few years ago.
Two years later, I moved into this room. I took the wardrobe with me there.
This drawing was done in felt tip marker (Sanford Expresso) and Mongol art pencils.

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think maps illustrate this point very well. This particular map seems to day a lot about Japan's view of itself in the late 1700's. Dated to 1791, this map was made by the Japanese and portrays the four main islands of Japan, as well as a scattering of some of the smaller islands. What does this map tell us about Japan at that time?
I am particularly interested about what this map has to say about Japan's view of itself, or at least how the mapmaker wanted Japan to view itself. At the time of this map's creation, I would guess that Japan might have been struggling to create a sense of self. Although Japan was indeed its own country during this time, there was a great influx of ideas and influences from all around the world into Japan. For instance, Buddhism from India was becoming quite popular, influencing Japanese ideas about the 'ideal' way of life, as well styles of architecture and the role of religion in the government. The Chinese writing system was still widely used, and Chinese philosopher's strong ideas of higher culture were prevalent. Lastly, of course, the introduction of the what would become the new 'West', the persistent American culture had made its debut in Japan. With all of these outside cultures making their way into daily Japanese life, it surely was of great priority to the higher powers in Japan to establish a clear sense of 'Japanese' to hold the country together. Efforts to establish such a sense can be seen in maps like this one.
The thing that first jumps to my eye in this map is the writing. At the time, writing in Japan was done with Chinese characters, as Japan had not yet developed a writing system of its own. However, you can see traces of a beginning of the Japanese writing system on this map. Within the blocks of Chinese characters are scattered symbols which later become the two alphabets unique to Japanese writing. The writing on this map can no longer be called strictly Chinese, but rather a hybrid writing system created by the Japanese, and used only by the Japanese, a system to call their own. Apart from the writing, the general presentation of the map, the fact that Japan is solely displayed, with only a hint of another land in the very upper left corner of the map for reference, gives a sense of solitude. This solitude, combined with the depiction of trade routes and trading ports that create an enclosed circle all around the outside of Japan, portray a sense of self-sustainment. The map maker seems to be saying, "Look, we don't need anybody else, we have our own writing system, we have our own land mass, and we cannot support ourselves with our own trade. We are Japanese,"
Time for another multiple upload, catching up on a few shots that might make it to getty one day.
