Traditionally handed down over generations, making of ganesha idols is an art that is still nurtured by families in western India.

A view of what is now the Artisans building on the Illinois State Fair grounds in Springfield. Originally known as the Poultry Palace, this handsome structure is the second oldest building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.

 

The Poultry Palace was built following a disastrous storm in 1895 that killed many of the State Fair's feathered entries which, up to that time, had been housed in sheds. After the calamity, State Fair Poultry Superintendent, and future Governor Len Small, was quoted as saying: “the loss of valuable fowls was considerable, and the necessity of a suitable building, obvious.”

 

Construction of the Poultry Palace began in 1896, and was completed in time for the 1897 Illinois State Fair. Now repurposed as the Artisans Building, every Illinois State Fair, the building is filled with displays of Illinois crafts. During the rest of the year, the facility is rented for private gatherings such as wedding receptions, meetings, and high school proms.

Have a nice weekend, greetings from my Honduras.

MALACHI: *To himself.* “Mirror, mirror that is the wall. Who is the handsomest bear of all. Of course it’s obvious that I am the handsomest bear of all. How co…”

 

DADDY: “Malachi! What on earth are you doing with those shards of mirror?”

 

MALACHI: “Well, I should have thought that was obvious, Daddy!” *Shakes head.* “I’m admiring my reflection.” *Preens.*

 

DADDY: “Indeed, they create a multitude of Malachis.”

 

MALACHI: “Well, one Malachi is hardly enough, Daddy.”

 

DADDY: *Quietly.* “That is debatable.”

 

MALACHI: “What was that, Daddy? Do stop mumbling and annunciate your words.”

 

DADDY: “I was just saying I was going to throw those shards of mirror into the dustbin, Malachi.”

 

MALACHI: “Oh no! Don’t do that, Daddy!”

 

DADDY: “Why ever not Malachi?”

 

MALACHI: “Well, I quite like being a multitude.” *Turns back to his reflection and says to himself.* “Mirror, mirror that is the wall. Who is the handsomest bear of all. Of course it’s obvious that I am the handsomest bear of all. How could anyone think otherwise?”

 

The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 18th of February is "a look in the mirror", a challenge in which a photo must contain a reflection in a real mirror.

 

A little over a month ago, I was using my full length piece of mirror for some photography in the garden, when a gust of wind blew it over and it shattered against the hardwood planks of my terrace. Oh what a noise it made! So, I cleaned up all the thousands of broken pieces and Hoovered up the millions of tiny slivers and shards, but I was left with a few large pieces that thanks to the backing in the mirror, did not break. I’m British, and being so, I have an inherent wish to save things that “might come in handy one day”, so I kept the four largest pieces of mirror and put them away. It seems that three of the four pieces came in very handy for Malachi to admire himself and create a multitude of Malachis… which may or may not be a good thing. I hope that you like my choice of image for the theme, and that it makes you smile!

 

If you follow my photostream, you may know that I collect 1:12 size miniatures, some of which have featured in past themes in the "Looking Close on Friday" and "Smile on Saturday" groups. This includes Malachi the bear. Malachi I acquired in mid-March 2020 (and mid Coronavirus) from a wonderful Melbourne stalwart toy shop: Dafel Dolls and Bears, when I went looking for a present for one of my goddaughters. Malachi is designed by Mary and hand-made by Wendy Joy in Australia. He has articulated arms and legs, and an extremely sweet face. Malachi was the name he came with, written by hand on his little tag.

So much of Acharacle is unique. The place is full of one-offs. Such as Joanne who owns and runs the Artisan shop, a new art and craft shop featuring locally produced artisan products, gifts and souvenirs. ......and occasionally can be found painting the Acharacle jetty supports too.

She's always at work beavering away with fabrics and textiles making handbags, purses and other crafted articles. Everything is locally produced including the craft beers, and organic single malt whisky. There's always a patient cat or dog keeping her company as the sewing machine whirrs away. This is Highland village life. No heatwave. No drought.

 

PS Joanna recovered all eight of our dining room chairs in Harris Tweed and they look and feel fantastic

Laying the mosaic pavement requires backbreaking labor. It's an arduous job performed in a prostrate position, making this traditional art of calçeteiros both rare and expensive. When wet, the surfaces of "calçadas" tend to be slippery and can contribute to slips and falls. Also, the moisture breaks down the design requiring frequent maintenance. For this reason, today’s government is considering a way of creating a safer pavement for the pedestrian while at the same time maintaining the unique beauty of this art form as an important part of the nation's identity and heritage.

Swakopmund est une petite station balnéaire de la côte atlantique namibienne. Sous ses airs de bourgade tranquille se cache en réalité la principale ville touristique du pays, après la capitale Windhoek.

En effet, c’est la porte d’entrée vers la surprenante Skeleton Coast au nord et le majestueux Désert de Namib au sud.

 

🇬🇧 Smiling shopkeeper in the craft market square.

Swakopmund is a small seaside resort on Namibia's Atlantic coast. Beneath its air of a quiet town lies the country's main tourist destination, after the capital Windhoek.

It is the gateway to the amazing Skeleton Coast in the north and the majestic Namib Desert in the south.

 

🇩🇪 Lächelnde Händlerin auf dem Platz des Kunsthandwerksmarktes .

Swakopmund ist ein kleiner Badeort an der namibischen Atlantikküste. Unter dem Anschein eines ruhigen Städtchens verbirgt sich in Wirklichkeit die wichtigste Touristenstadt des Landes, nach der Hauptstadt Windhoek.

Sie ist nämlich das Tor zur überraschenden Skeleton Coast im Norden und zur majestätischen Namib-Wüste im Süden.

Swakopmund es un pequeño balneario de la costa atlántica de Namibia. Bajo su aire de ciudad tranquila se esconde el principal destino turístico del país, después de la capital, Windhoek.

Es la puerta de entrada a la asombrosa Costa de los Esqueletos, en el norte, y al majestuoso desierto del Namib, en el sur.

The Ganesha festival is the festival of the Indian God of all that is auspicious - the elephant God, Ganesha. Idols of Ganesha are brought into homes amidst fun, food and festivities and immersed in water 10 days later with a tearful goodbye. 2-3 months before the festival, sculptors and artists start work on making and painting these idols. Their work does not get celebrated as much as it deserves to be. Much of this art is familial and is passed down each generation. Here's an artisan at work in his workshop

This guy is a wood carving artist. He creates amazing works of art on the beach. He exhibits his work mostly at Pico de Piedra Beach in Aguada, PR. I discovered this spot while I was on vacation. The area is known by the "selfie spot" because people visit it to take selfies with the sculptures. He agreed to let me take a photo of him with his latest work that was about to finish.

~You can see other of his wooden creations in the link below.~
