Crato. God of creativity. Main deity of the pantheon of the gods of the Lego. He is elusive and capricious, he appears and disappears for periods according to his will. Wake up fans at night or distract them when they walk down the street. He loves that builders do new things or old things in new ways.
The gods of the Lego (or maybe it's "the gods of the Legos"?... never mind) have existed since the beginning of time when everything was black or dark bluish gray but they have not had work until the middle of the 20th century. Now they help and inspire thousands of fans in their task of building with small pieces of plastic.
The gods of the Lego:
Crato. God of creativity
Plao. God of planning
Lovellia. Goddess of beauty
Storos. God of storage and order
Joyo. Goddess of the play
Loso. Demon of the lost pieces
Roko. Demon of the broken builds

Crato. Los dioses del LEGO.
Crato. Dios de la creatividad. Deidad principal del panteón de los dioses del Lego. Es esquivo y caprichoso, aparece y desaparece por periodos según su voluntad. Despierta a los aficionados por las noches o les distrae cuando andan por la calle. Le encanta que los constructores hagan cosas nuevas o cosas viejas de formas nuevas.
Los dioses del Lego (o tal vez sea "los dioses de los legos"... bueno, da igual) existen desde el principio de los tiempos cuando todo era negro o gris oscuro pero no han tenido trabajo hasta mediados del siglo XX. Ahora ayudan e inspiran a miles de aficionados en su tarea de construir con las pequeñas piezas de plástico.
Los dioses del Lego:
Crato. Dios de la creatividad
Plao. Dios de la planificación
Lovellia. Diosa de la belleza
Storos. Dios del almacenamiento y el orden
Joyo. Diosa del juego
Loso. Demonio de las piezas perdidas
Roko. Demonio de las construcciones rotas

¡Hola!
Hoy os traigo la imagen terminada que enseñe el miércoles pasado. La he titulado 'Mente y creación' ya que he querido que lo que se transmita es la infinidad de cosas que la mente puede hacer y crear sobre todo con la imaginación.
(Que bonito me ha quedado jaja)
Esta imagen también se incluye dentro del proyecto semanal Teleidoscope con el tema 'La vuelta al mundo' ya que todo lo que se compone en esta imagen está realizado en distintas partes que he tenido el placer de visitar. (Paris (Disneyland), Galicia...

This build was calling for some heavy editing so I made several attempts until I was pleased with the result.
Please enjoy!

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while." - Steeve Jobs
"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." - Carl Gustav Yung
The picture on a stand that I've used in this composition is Chinese hand-made silk embroidery. Have you ever seen such a beautiful painting on a piece of silk satin? Just imagine embroidering such a delicate fugure with the threads and needles! But such an exquisite embroidery has been one of China's most famous art forms for many centuries. The first response people normally have when they see Chinese silk embroidered pictures (embroidery picture, needle painting or thread painting as some people would call) is that they don't believe they are hand embroidered.
Chinese embroidery paintings are well known for its rich colors comparable to an oil painting and realism comparable to photography.
To create a high quality piece, an artist needs to split a single silk thread into several thinner threads and embroider layer after layer with threads of a variety of colors to reach the final wonderful effect. One top quality silk embroidery work usually uses millions of silk threads of hundreds of different colors, taking more than one year to complete.

Featuring a 38,082 pieces LEGO Artwork! Set atop a wooden board made out of LEGO tiles, as well as stationaries and tabletop decorations to emphasize the creative aspect of the artwork. The abtract design in the center does not imply a distinct message, but designed to invoke the flow of thoughts, ideas, concepts, and imaginations that run through our minds everyday!
Notes: The work done here is not desgined to be a actual LEGO structure, but more of an art form. Though there are no illegal building techniques going on here, not every part is actually attached to another brick. Some plates are just placed down and balanced because of certain limitations, but mostly for the sake of design.
ps: Everything you see in the image is made purely out of LEGO element. Enjoy. (It also made it as a runner up :D)
My 50mm is one of the best lenses i've ever used, and it always forces me to think differently and creatively due to its versatility.
It doesn't matter where your biases lean. (left, right, democrat, republican) Learning to think across the spectrum gives you a greater sense of understanding and more options for creativity. :D

"Imagination”
"Erotically Sparking and Steamy"
Early marriage was borne of ancient societies' need to secure a safe environment in which to breed, handle the granting of property rights, and protect bloodlines. Ancient Hebrew law required a man to become the husband of a deceased brother's widow.
But even in these early times, marriage was much about love and desire as it was social and economic stability. In its roundness, the engagement ring, a custom dating back to the Ancient Rome, is believed to represent eternity and everlasting union. It was once believed a vein or nerve ran directly from the 'ring' finger of the left hand to the heart.
Many other modern day marriage traditions have their origins in these ancient times. Newly-weds are said to have aided fertility by drinking a brew made from honey during certain lunar phases and it is this tradition from which we derive the origins of the word 'honeymoon'.
ONE WIFE OR TWO?
Understanding of marriage contrasted greatly from culture to culture. Some cultures viewed the institution as endogamous (men were required to marry within their own social group, family, clan, or tribe), exogamous (marrying outside the geographical region or social group) or polygamous (allowing men to take more than one bride).
Polygamy was formally banned towards the end of the Roman Empire with laws against adultery, fornication and other relationships outside a monogamous lifelong covenant. The seeds of modern marriage were sowed here and they extended into the modern Western world.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something. And earlier when I saw my daughters beads it hit me :) and I had the hunch.
I wish you could buy creativity in a glass, or well maybe not buy it (then it wouldnt be a gift anymore), just when it comes that you could bottle it up and use it later.
I find myself with images going through my head all the time, but do i have the time to go create those pictures then? of course not :) So thats why occasionally you can find me running through the house like a crazy person, and everybody knows..mommy's got a hunch :)
Using a light strip and a little creativity, we were able to bring some life to the dark and quiet Stumphouse Tunnel in Walhalla, SC.
I spent an afternoon at my mom’s the other day and browsed through her large stock of buttons, ribbons and old lace. A gold mine for a craft enthusiast! This is part of what I came home with. :-)
Blogged here:
Anna Chromy (18 July 1940 – 18 September 2021) was a painter and sculptor of Czech-German descent. At the end of World War II, Chromy's family was expelled from Bohemia to Vienna, Austria. Her family did not have enough money for her to attend art school however, so only after she married and moved to Paris was it possible. She received her education at the École des Beaux-Arts. It was here she realised an interest in Salvador Dalí and other surrealists, and began using the soft colours of William Turner in her paintings.
A life-threatening accident in 1992 meant that Chromy was unable to paint for eight years. She turned her attention to sculpture using bronze and marble as her media.
Anna was born to a Czech mother and a German father on 18 July 1940, in Krumau, Czechoslovakia. Anna's childhood in Bohemia provided her with her first indulgence in art, and she was often fascinated with images of ancient palaces displaying sculptures, graphics and paintings. After World War II, at the age of five, Anna and her family were forced to leave Krumlov and move to Austria. While in Austria, the musical culture of Vienna and Salzburg made a lasting impression on Anna, and would eventually be the inspiration for many of her works of art. In 1970, Anna and her husband, Wolfgang, moved to Barbizon, France, which is southeast of Paris. Here, Anna was surrounded by artists who came from far and wide to paint the beautiful forests of Fontainebleau. While in Barbizon, Anna began to study at the Academy de la Grande Chaumire in Paris.
It was during her studies in Paris that Anna met her mentor, Salvador Dalí, who also became a personal friend. As his pupil, Dali inspired Anna's imagination and creativity with his personal style of art known as surrealism. Anna developed an appreciation of Dali's style, and her paintings drew from her admiration of Dali and other artists of surrealism such as Max Ernst, Rene Magritte. She did a charcoal of Dali and Gala titled "Homage Dali & Gala," and Dali's image appears in her 1981 oil painting, "The Boat of Cadaces."
Beginning in the 1980s, Anna's work began to be the image of many widely publicized events. In 1985, Anna created three sketches called the Faces of Peace for the United Nations Year of Peace in New York. Her painting, Man, Earth, Universe, which was Anna's interpretation of transcendence to a better world, became the official painting of the 1992 World's Fair, also known as EXPO 92, in Seville, Spain. In 1985, Chromy and her husband established a new home in Cap Martin, France, on the Côte d'Azur, where she and her husband enjoyed many years with their three dogs and several cats. In this villa, Anna had the room to display all her works of art, turning her home into her own exclusive museum. Anna found pleasure adding her own individuality to this villa. She painted a mural of angels on one of the ceilings and dancing figures across her wardrobe doors. She turned one of the rooms into a studio where she painted her "Last Supper." Today, Anna's sculpture, "Coat of Saint Martin", sits at the entrance of Cap Martin.
Anna died on 18 September 2021 at the age of 81.
Anna Chromy has studios in Pietrasanta, Tuscany where she also has her bronze foundries, Fonderia Artistica Mariani and Massimo Del Chiaro. For her marble sculptures she worked at the studio of Massimo Galleni in Pietrasanta. In Carrara, she sculpted at Studio Michelangelo of Franko.
While living in Cap Martin, Anna began sculpting marble at the studio of Massimo Galleni in Pietrasanta and Carrara, Italy, as well as at Studio Michelangelo of Franko Barattini. In 2002, Anna's sculpture, "The Heart of the World," was presented to Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. In 2008, Anna received the "Primo Michelangelo" which is the highest award for a sculptor in Italy. Never forgetting Austria's musical influence, Anna was the first sculptor to do the characters of Don Giovanni in life-size bronze. In 2000, Anna had her showing of her Don Giovanni and the Sound of Bronze Exhibition in Prague. This exhibition was an enormous success and brought her great exposure. Today, Anna's fountain of Czech musicians is located in Prague's Semovazni Square. Her sculpture, "The Cloak of Conscience," is located in the front entrance of the Stavovske Divadlo. In Prague, Anna has received several prestigious awards, including the Masaryk, Dali, and Kafka Awards. Anna's interest in Greek and Roman mythology influenced her to create sculptures such as "Europe" and "Olympic Spirit." All of Anna's sculptures of mythical figures were displayed on the front terrace of the National Archeological Museum in Athens, Greece.
In 2009, China invited Anna as the first foreign sculptor to join the Chinese Academy of Sculpture and her work is mainly perceived as a message of peace and harmony. Anna's sculpture, "Carmen," will be the showpiece of the new opera house in Guangzhou and her sculpture, "Sisyphus," has a place of honor in the Museum of Modern Art in Guangzhou. Also that year, Anna"s sculpture, Olivier d'Or, was presented by Albert II, Prince of Monaco, to the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Elie Wiesel.
Anna has been sculpting for over twenty years and has created many astonishing sculptures that can be seen in several countries. One sculpture in particular, "The Cloak of Conscience", is by far Anna's most monumental sculpture; it is her legacy. In 2008, Anna presented a model of "The Cloak of Conscience" to Pope Benedict XVI in the Vatican to mark the creation of the Conscience Institute, an organization devoted to the development of the arts. "The Cloak of Conscience," a statue of an empty, draping cloak, whose true essence is hidden, has become Anna's motivation and inspiration. Anna has been sculpting this invisible hero standing against corruption, this symbol for hope, love and peace, from a 200-ton block of marble derived from Cave Michelangelo in Carrara. An unwavering amount of strength, courage, and devotion to this profound sculpture has spanned over five years and is close to completion. Anna Chromy's other sculptures of the Cloak of Conscience can be seen at the National Archeological Museum in Athens, Foundation Ferrero, Foundation C'a la Ghironda, Bologna, Museo dei Bozzetti, Pietrasanta, Italy, in Austria at the Salzburg Cathedral, at Keitum Church, Sylt, Germany, and at the Grimaldi Palace, Principality of Monaco.
Chromy's best-known piece is the empty coat, known as The Cloak of Conscience, Piétà or Commendatore, located in Cathedral in Salzburg, Austria, Stavovske divadlo in Prague, National Archeological Museum in Athens and elsewhere. Chromy has since transformed The Cloak into a chapel over four metres high, carved out of a block of white marble weighing 250 tons in the Cave Michelangelo in Carrara.
Other important works include the Olympic Spirit, to be placed in front of the new library in Shanghai; and Europe, a contemporary reinterpretation of the old myth, to be placed at the European institutions. In 2009 her “Olivier d’Or” was presented by Albert II, Prince of Monaco to Nobel Peace Prize winner, Elie Wiesel. In 2008 she presented a model of The Cloak of Conscience to Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Peters in Rome to mark the creation of the Conscience Institute.
In 2012 at the London Olympic Games, Chromy's Olympic Spirit was positioned in the Olympic Village, the home of the athletes for the duration of the games. It was provided as a gift from Lord Moynihan, Chairman of the British Olympic Association, and a compliment to the sportsmen and women competing at the Games. Some of them posed next to it to have their photograph taken, including Matthew Mitcham who climbed to the top of it for his photo. Ulysses, another of the Olympic collection, was positioned in the harbour of Monaco in 2011, and Sisyphus has been positioned at the University of Pisa.
Chromy draws inspiration from music, opera in particular; classic dance; and the ancient myths. Her paintings contain references to the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism and other Central European artists. Her colours, sometimes used also on sculptures, have a subtle Turner-like touch. She is said to be a quintessential European.

The Chromy awards were conceived by Anna Chromy following her study and practice of conscience art. The first award ceremony, in 2013, honoured those individuals who were nominated for their diligence and service to saving humankind or the Earth, or both, in the work they do. The first nominees included people like Bill Gates, Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu Kyi and Gene Sharp. Following completion of The Cloak of Conscience, and on further reflection of her life's work, Chromy painted a series of oils on canvas in 2012 called Chromology. These were created to reflect the emotion, purpose and meaning of those who might win a Chromy award. These paintings were later added to, and the entire collection became Chromatology.
Anna Chromy has gathered interest in China since 1995 when she was honorary guest at the Guangzhou-art-fair. In the time since then her popularity has grown in the region. In December 2011, at her exhibition in Foshan, Qiao Hua, Director of the Grandfather Art Gallery, formalised her popularity when he said her works have won the favour of collectors in China. She has been invited to exhibit her entire collection for the first time at the National Museum of China, on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. In June 2012, during the placement of Chromy's Olympic Spirit in the National Academy of Sculpture in Beijing, Wu Weishan, Director of the Academy appointed Anna Chromy Honorary Fellow in the National Academy.
