It's very much a Balinese habit to provide what the people want, at a sensible mark-up. :-)
As the years go by, and more of the genuine antiques from this part of the world have been exported... there's always a good market for imitation.
The day I took this photo I saw some women on the side of the road hosing down new statues and 'distressing' them with hard brushes, but also stacks of statues and carvings of different types that had fallen out of fashion and were just left to rot outside.
It's that mismatch again, where local labour is very cheap, especially compared to the availability of time and focus from tourists.
That's not to say there aren't genuine items to be found, but it takes some digging.
Today (10/28/15) I had a procedure (at Mission Hospital in Asheville NC) to remove a filter that had been placed in the inferior vena cava (IVC) vein after I had a pulmonary embolism on June 26, 2015. This was the second attempt to remove it; both attempts were unsuccessful. The doc today said he could get it out, but since it had migrated from the IVC to a neighboring vein in which it was now embedded, forcing a removal would risk damaging the vein. Stressful, especially since before the first attempt one week ago, I was given two sedatives, one a narcotic, that knocked me for a loop; it took almost a week to recover. Today, thank God, they used only Lidocaine at the site in my neck where the instruments intended to remove the filter were inserted. So, I'm now the bionic woman with an IVC filter for the remainder of this lifetime. I came home and ate 2 cups of ice cream and 17 ginger snaps! I've resolved not to enter the hospital again for any reason.

You "Better Watch Out!" (With Santa theme playing in background.)
You don't want your Mom to see where you do your Xmas shopping...
Awkward...
Remaining memories...
Sorry my friends, I have a little time to dedicate myself to Flickr. I wish everyone all the best and good light.

A snowy grey day in Montreal; Lady Vervaine is cruising along in a car, thinking that the world has been drained of all colour – when suddenly this pops up.
Quilt inspired by the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Used Elizabeth Haugh's Refrigerator Magnets pattern for the alphabet but adjusted it for paper piecing. Fabrics are Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks (voile) and Kona in Charcoal.

How odd it is to have a photograph with great colour then edit and play with it until it looks old and tattered. That was what I was thinking as I worked on this picture of Dundurn Castle and it made me think of all the time I've spent scanning and repairing the old family photos.
I have boxes of them and it's all those old photos that made me want to delve into my family history with the hope of finding out some of the stories and personalities of the ancestors. You've probably done the same thing and, like me, may have hoped to find some interesting characters.
Well, ya just never know what you're going to find when digging out the family's past. I found that one Great-grandfather died during the Spanish flu epidemic, another Great-grandfather went off to war (1914-1918), permanently leaving his wife and children, eventually coming home with a Belgian nun ........and then learned of yet another Great-grandfather who grew up living in the Wellington Arch in London in the 1860's.
Yes, that's right, the Wellington Arch. His uncle was the Gate Keeper of Hyde Park and, as such, had the residence in the southern tier of the Arch. They lived there before the Arch was moved to its present location. I had no idea there was anything actually inside that Arch and certainly no notion that it had ever been moved.
However, the most startling discovery was my 4x Great Grandfather, William Allen. He was born in 1789, married and had four children and at the age of 39 was convicted for stealing a sheep. His punishment was transportation to Australia, where he remained until his death. I actually had a grandfather transported on a convict ship and sentenced to hard time?!? As I said, ya just never know...
I hope sheep stealing isn't genetic....I've not felt the urge to steal a sheep so far in my life but sometimes these faults and foibles can pop up later in life.
Oh dear, there's always something to worry about.
:-)

I am working with a few different fonts that I will route on the prototype. I have to print the lyrics on graph paper, then use carbon paper to trace the text onto the wood- only then can the routing fun begin!

DAY 6
On our way to another exhibition, I spot this in the facade of a house. A bas-relief in terracotta, trying to figure out what it represents, a building-master with his planner?
All in good old Flemish bricks! LOL
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

This item sounded easy and I could have made it easier but I am also trying to learn how to use PSE14
I am going to master this gradient tool if it kills me.
It's not the effect I wanted but it's a start.
The candy canes worked out good for this item I think.
Stanton were one of the biggest manufacturers of concrete street lamp columns - with production going back to pre-WW2 days. Amongst the last styles manufactured were these versions of the 'type 8' columns - here showing a standard height of 22' 6" and with double brackets ranging from 5 feet to 16 feet spans. The latter must have been quite something!
