Mummies of Ancient Eggypt: Rediscovering 6 Lives
From July 14 to October 26, the CaixaForum Madrid cultural space hostsed an exhibition made up of a collection of objects on loan from the British Museum in London, which explores the idea of ​​mummification and analyzes the testimony of six people who lived in the Ancient Egypt.
This sample contains six mummies of people who lived between 900 and 150 BC. C. in Egypt. Thus, through a non-invasive investigation carried out with the most modern technology, the discoveries that have been achieved by the hand of these specimens are exhibited.
Through scientific and historical evidence, it is possible to observe what life was like in these lands, the tools and techniques used for mummification, the medicinal recipes with which they were cured, the diet of those people, cosmetics and adornments, music, cultural exchanges and even the role of women and children in the Egypt of the pharaohs.
Mummification became a common practice in ancient Egypt, believing that the body had to be preserved in order to reach the afterlife. For them death was just the beginning and this represented the separation between the body and the soul.
The first mummies are dated between 4000 and 3000 BC. C. and it is thought that this practice could have come from accidentally unearthing some corpses, which had dried due to the heat of the desert. By keeping much of their physical appearance, they tried to manually mimic this preservation. In this way, they dried the deceased by extracting the viscera from the body and then dehydrated them with natron and embalmed them. `

A nifty occupational photograph from probably c. 1867 of a merkin salesman. Merkins, or pubic wigs, were handy because pubic hair was considered desirable in a prostitute, but they usually had to shave to get rid of lice. The wig was also useful in covering up venereal evidence. I suppose that they were also discretely sold to non-professional women as well - although I can't imagine this guy going door-to-door!
I wonder if he grew his beard like that for advertising reasons…?

One of my favourite works, back on display at the Tate after more than four years.
The display case in the centre background contains The Singer's companion piece Applause.
For those of you who asked how this was done, here are pics to help you out. This was rather simple but having pics would take the guess work out of doing this for yourself.
The 1st row is only 2 plates high and then the minifig base on top. In the 1st row each fig has a stud of space in between them with the 1st fig on each side in 1 stud.
The 2nd row is 2 bricks and 2 plates high and then the fig base. In the 2nd row each fig has 2 studs of space in between them with the 1st fig on each side in 3 studs.
This arrangement was pleasing to my eye as I felt the spacing in between each fig was symmetrical and afforded clean sight lines to each fig.
Over the years I was always fascinated with sailing ships and the men and women who worked them -whether in peacetime or war. As a fine artist, I produced many paintings and drawings of these vessels which are in collections both in the United States and abroad.
Today as a craftsman, I continue to challenge myself to take this work to another level. Meaning, to use the wood medium in defining my subject matter - combining research and draftsmanship to balance the final presentation. Using the wood medium not only brings attention to the work, but it has defined my skill in setting these pieces into another genre of maritime that few have ever approached.
This photo, after much research and study, illustrate the color concepts that were carried on both ship and crew of CONSTITUTION during the War of 1812.

"Hey, sis, what are you doing all the way over there? We should be together."
"Yeah, well count your blessings. At least they've finally put us both in the same room instead of leaving you locked in the basement."
Hello There!
I'm George. I'm a potter, sculptor and decorator and I have a pottery studio in Greece.
I'm also a Star Wars 3.75 inch collector.
I love to display my figures and I love to make dioramas for myself and other people.
This is a classy wooden display box with led lights, plexigrlass window and with an Ice Cave Diorama inside.
I make my dioramas with polymer clay ((it's like plastic strong and flexible) and then hand paint them.
All handmade

One of my favourite works, back on display at the Tate after more than four years.
In this view the perspective makes her look lifesize, or even over-lifesize, but in reality she's a half-scale statuette. The sheer detail helps to sell the illusion, speaking to the artist's skill.
For this cabinet card back, see the full backmark illustration (below) and a detail showing the street scene in front of the photographer's gallery (above).
--------
Although the photographer's name and address appears as "Schlickeisen, 343 Central Avenue, Jersey City, N.J.," on the front of this cabinet card, the name on the sign in the illustration on the back is spelled as "Schlickeysen" (ending in -keysen instead of -keisen). In addition, the arrangement of the street number--"343"--in the palette shapes on either side of the Art Gallery sign is curious, ending with a smaller superscript "3" that seemingly was added after the fact.
Interestingly, Langdon's List of 19th & Early 20th Century Photographers provides some relevant information regarding Gustav Schlickeysen/Schlickeisen. According to Langdon, "Schlickeysen" was the spelling listed in city directories for 1888 and 1889, but during those years the photographer's address was 34 Hancock Avenue, Hoboken, New Jersey, rather than 343 Central Avenue, Jersey City, N.J. Directories for 1891, 1892, and 1893, however, indicate that "Schlickeisen" had already moved to the Central Avenue address in Hoboken.
It's not clear why the spelling of Schlickeysen changed to Schlickeisen when the photographer moved from Hoboken to Jersey City. Although the new spelling appeared on the front of this cabinet card, the sign in the artwork on the back retained the old spelling. The street number, however, was updated by squeezing an extra "3" into the palette shapes to indicate the change from "34" (Hancock Avenue, Hoboken) to "343" (Central Avenue, Jersey City). If the illustration depicts the original gallery in Hoboken, however, I wonder if customers at Schlickeisen's new gallery in Jersey City were still confused by the drawing despite the updated street number.
Finally, it's worth noting that a "Portrait" display case to attract potential customers is situated on the sidewalk in front of the gallery. And notice the horse-drawn tram passing by on the tracks in front of the gallery--an indication of how easy it would be to travel to the gallery.
Shoppers fill their basket at a Gladstone, Mo. Walmart, observing the company’s new themes designed to reinvigorate its price promise to customers, including everyday low prices and a simplified ad match program.
Description: Lower Invertebrates exhibit in the West Wing of the Smithsonian Institution Building or "Castle." Models of a giant squid and an octopus, designed for the Tennessee Exposition of 1897, hang from the ceiling over the exhibit cases. These painted plaster casts were considered art objects, not scientific specimens, by the head curator of the Department of Biology, but large specimens were difficult to preserve and display.

Among the tobacco products on the display case's bottom shelf are Sach's All-Right Plain Scrap, Red Man, Beech-Nut Chewing Tobacco, Master Workman Scrap, Tub Tobacco, and Picnic Twist.

By accident I found myself in the Art Deco-Art Nouveau display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. Even though I have not been interested in decorative arts, I became fascinated with the items on display. The creator of this Art Nouveau porcelain and enamel covered jar is Samuel Schellink (Dutch, 1876-1958)
I took photos of this item to see how well my new camera worked indoors (and to see what I could learn about using light sources).

Cruella De Vil Disney Villains Designer Collection Doll
Personal Photos - Deboxed - Freed From Stand
Cruella is laid down with her head on the Certificate of Authenticity. The top straps of her dress are pulled partially down her front, to reveal the double sided sticky tape underneath. It adheres to the front of her dress to prevent the plunging neckline from shifting and revealing too much.
Cruella's fur coat is taken off and laid down satin lining up next to her. To take the the coat off, her cigarette holder and purse had to removed first from her left hand. They are also placed next to Cruella, who is lying flat on her back, with her skirt partially open, as it was when boxed.
To finish deboxing, the Cruella De Vil doll is removed from the stand, and the plastic wrap around her legs is removed. Unlike Designer Maleficent and Evil Queen, her dress wasn't so tight around her legs that I had to remove the dress first before removing her from the stand (or replacing her later). Here she is laid down flat, with her legs almost fully revealed, following the removal of the plastic wrap.

This is my display corner. I put my favourite models inside acrylic cases, to protect them from dust. Other models I like sit inside a small glass door cabinet (to the right on the photo).
Because I don't have much room available, I cannot have my models out all at once. I rotate the display from time to time, putting some models back into their original boxes, and bringing others out from their boxes for displaying.
Apologies for the terrible quality photo. It's one of those half-rainy, half-sunny days, which makes for poor lighting. Also, because the room is rather small, it's difficult to find the proper angle for a good shot. I'll try to take a better photo on another day.
