Christie's Poirot departs from both the medical profiling method and Holmes to become more of a collector and archivist in the film script versions of the Christie stories. It is here that Poirot's dramatized analytic method comes squarely into the sights of my world, for the series producers have painstakingly added exquisite details to the tools of Poirot as if he were related to James Bond. Incidentally, this kit is so much better than an teenager's make-believe kit, and no harder to assemble for the real thing. I have added a camera which would fit the level of analysis of Poirot's work.
The calf leather attaché detection kit functions to extract, collect and analyze. For this it generously contains the following:
envelopes for collecting particles, test tubes with droppers for liquids, fingerprint powder, various cutting (scissors & knives), picking & retrieving (different sized tweezers & forceps) tools, magnifying glass, magnifying loupe, pencil, gloves, cleaning cloth and agent, a camera with aperture & shutter settings for infinity and macro, a developer in a separate casing the size of a cigarette case, two sets of film holders with 5 plates each, and a small matching calf leather bound notepad which is not really necessary actually as Poirot arranges his points of interest inside the little grey cells of his brain.
PS: the camera will be uploaded in the near future

These pictures and their accompanying text are taken from a beautiful old book on tree identification written by R. ST. Barbe Baker, the self-styled founder of the wonderfully-named The Men of the Trees, an organisation I know nothing about, but wish I had belonged to. The book came out in the 1940s, so all of it is now copyright free.

Partner, I hope this will have a new home in your sewing room, along with the pincushion I made you! This mini was fun to make, using Tamiko's paper-piecing template and some favorite fabrics.
I created this picture with some random text, when I was seeking for inspiration... ;-)
Feel free to use the image in whatever way you want! I would be very grateful for a credit link to www.planetofsuccess.com/blog/ IF you publish this image on a reputable website (such as about.com) or in a reputable newspaper. Thank you!
Thanks and have fun with the image!

"Macro Mondays" "Mostly White"
Most books are mostly white. If it is not illustrated, colour is usually limited to the binding. This particular book happens to be "Road Ends" by one of my favourite authors, Mary Lawson.
Finally, after over a year and many promises, here is my version of Arkham Asylum.
There’s no need for many explanations here in this text, because I designed an 82-page Making-of-book that explain every little step. And the best part: It’s for free.
You can find all the pages here on flickr or you can download a free PDF-version from Uploaded.to. You don’t need to create an account, just follow this LINK. It takes about 20 - 40 minutes.
Well, I hope you enjoy everything.

El rosetón (románico de transición al gótico/protogótico, siglo XIII) de la fachada occidental de la Iglesia de San Felipe de Brihuega, la villa capital de municipio, situado en la comarca natural de La Alcarria (subcomarca de Alcarria Alta), en la provincia de Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Se considera que esta iglesia, dedicada a San Felipe Apóstol, fue construída entre 1209-1246 bajo el mecenazgo del Arzobispo de Toledo y el señor de Brihuega Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada, a pesar de no existir documentación escrita que confirme este hecho o aclare la historia anterior de este templo.
"...Según nos describe García López en su Catálogo Monumental de Guadalajara: "Ennoblece más esta elegante fachada un rosetón circular, abierto bajo el ángulo en que concluye el muro central. Consta de un círculo rodeado de seis medios círculos uno y otros con lóbulos, redientes y arquillos que forman una elegante tracería ojival.
Las líneas rectas dominantes forman el exalfa o sello de Salomón sin intención notoria de que resalte."
La Iglesia de San Felipe de Brihuega
"...Conotado ao simbolismo do hexalfa, além deste exposto de forma clara, encontra-se nos templos cristãos o seu derivado hexafólio ou sexifólio, a estrela de seis raios e a rosácea ou roseta hexapétala, e apesar das suas numerosas variantes é normalmente interpretado como símbolo solar – o rosetão ou roseta do Sol, antigo símbolo mitraico herdado pelos cristãos para designarem Christus Sollis, o Cristo Solar ou Iluminado, e também a Rosa Mística da ladainha mariana, a Virgem Mãe de Deus, dependendo do sentido geral do simbolismo exposto a qual dos Dois se deve atribuir no caso particular esse símbolo."
O Hexalfa é igual à Alma Universal (por Vitor Manuel Adrião)
LA LEYENDA SOBRE SAN FELIPE APÓSTOL Y EL DRAGÓN DE MARTE:
San Felipe aparece en quinto lugar en las listas de los apóstoles (Mt 10, 3; Mc. 3, 18; Lc 6, 14; Hch 1, 13). Era originario de Betsadia, y de profesión pescador. Junto con Andrés, son los únicos que tienen nombres griegos entre los apóstoles
San Felipe es llamado por el Señor al grupo de sus discípulos al día siguiente de haber llamado a Andrés, Juan y Pedro (Jn 1, 43-44). San Felipe es quien invita a Natanael a conocer al Señor (Jn 1, 45). Tiene otras intervenciones significativas en el Evangelio. El día la multiplicación de los panes el Señor, para probarlo, se dirige a él preguntándole dónde comprarían pan para tanta gente (Jn 6, 5-7). Es a San Felipe a quien se dirigen los extranjeros deseosos de conocer al Señor (Jn 12, 20-22) y es él el que le pide al Señor en la última cena que le "muestre al Padre" (Jn 14, 8-11)
San Felipe se dedicó a predicar en las regiones de Frigia, actualmente Turquía, y Escitia, actualmente Moldavia, Ucrania, Hungría y el este de Rusia. Fue martirizado y muerto en Hierápolis. Su martirio consistió en ser crucificado y apedreado. Posteriormente sus reliquias se trasladan a Roma...
El relato tradicional sobre San Felipe Apóstol y el Dragón de Marte se basa en el texto incluído en la Leyenda Dorada de Jacopo Vorágine, pero se narra en diferentes versiones:
«...Una leyenda cuenta que los paganos querían obligarlo a hacer un sacrificio a una estatua de Marte, pero un dragón, colocado bajo el pedestal, mata con su aliento al sacerdote que ordena el sacrificio y a dos soldados. Felipe, apiadado de ellos, pone en fuga al dragón y resucita a los tres muertos.»
«...Los paganos quisieron obligarle a adorar una imagen de Marte, pero el santo hizo que del pedestal saliera un dragón, que mató al hijo del pontífice y varios personajes más con su aliento. El santo sanó a los heridos y resucitó a los muertos, a petición de la muchedumbre que allí se había congregado, a cambio de que se rompiera la estatua para eregir una cruz en su lugar.»
«...En Escitia fue apresado y llevado delante de una estatua de Marte para obligarle a hacer sacrificios. Pero de debajo de la estatua salió un dragón que mató al instante a tres personas. San Felipe se ofreció a resucitarlos si derribaban la estatua, por lo que expulsó al dragón del lugar y resucitó a los muertos, consiguiendo así muchas conversiones.»
«...San Felipe Apóstol...desterró al desierto al dragón que devoró al hijo del pontífice y a dos tribunos que presenciaban como era sacrificado a Marte en la ciudad de Escytia...»

Quite a bit of Weegee's fame rests on his medium format photographs of murder victims.
While these portraits are essentially unique in the history of photography, they are also controversial.
It is only my own opinion, which is all I have the right to say, but I don't feel these photographs should have been taken, even for art's sake. However that being said, I do not condemn it, and I do keep in mind the special qualities of his work. For me, his particular style of photography has a subtle side that I appreciate and learn from the more I look at it. And as I have stated in previous designs dedicated to him, he was a master darkroom technician.
I want to create a camera for Weegee that focuses upon the dead in a more spiritual way befitting them, and using this design to reconcile.
With that in mind, this design proposal seeks to give homage not only to Weegee but also to the photographs and to their subjects. Perhaps in his heart, Weegee was honoring them in some way, but here I propose that the camera the tied to an act of ritual for the dead.
Chinese Ming Qi has a long tradition, as other cultures like the Egyptians, to honor and provide for dead. Funerary objects are depicted and used in various ways. Although I am not an expert on this subject, what is different in the Chinese ritual is that these objects are burned to 'activate' them.
A vintage multiplying camera of the late 19th century is slightly modified for this design. A Chinese Ming Qi object, a house, to 'house' the transient murdered victims becomes a temporary body for the camera, which will take four simultaneous exposures very sharply by virtue of the adapted Speed Graphic flashgun. When the photographs are exposed, the Ming Qi house is detached from its innards (the multiplying camera is among the simplest kind of cameras, functionally) and the user then sets it afire, like incense (which also comes with the kit) thus giving this camera an honorary one-time use befitting the dead, whether the subject here be a gunned down criminal or a victim. A small side compartment holds a cigar to help the user to silently reflect during the ceremony.
The Ming Qi object in this case is further distinguished, as opposed to an ordinary dollhouse or toy, by various silver decorations and subtle styling commensurate with its purpose. In a subtle but coincidental way, this ritual act for the camera indirectly recalls Weegee's own theatricality and uniqueness in life.

I designed and stitched this pattern in 2009 - you can see it here. I stitched it on 18 count aida. I wanted to see what it would look like on 28 count linen. I think it's kinda pretty.
(The text is the only bit I remember from A Farewell to Arms.)
