Some sisters taking a rest at the street...
Some things are the same everywhere - like sisters fighting sometime and having fun in the next second.
In that case it was more of the second, a moment later they were having fun grimacing at the ugly stranger (me) :)
Please keep in mind:
Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.
In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.
All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.
The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.
The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.
Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.
The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...
- Unicef
and of a smaller German organisation (I met one of the responisbles during my trip)
This is an incomplete list, I´ve also seen www.doctorswithoutborders.org and there are others.
Please help, the burmese people need it.

Hope your Tuesday is going well. Thanks for visiting.

Statement:
From an early age, starting with her mother's lipstick and the walls in her room, Juli was captivated by art and how it affected those that experienced it. As she matured, so did her style and medium to that of painting, glass and then working in mosaics. After years of hard work, Juli has sought to fine tune her techniques and approaches to her work using color, composition, and imagination to paint a
picture with glass. "Art isn’t something you do- it's part of who you are. Art is personal and when you create it, you are showing the world part of your soul."

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

Beyond Borders: Mosaic Auction for DWB/MSF

Size: 6” x 6”
Tesserae: Sculpted mosaic of stained glass, glass beads and rhinestones
Statement:
The white owl in this piece offers up a feeling of security and that all is peaceful. I chose the white owl because of its rarity and it's color for purity. He is watchful when all others are sleeping. This is my representation of the many Doctors who watch over those in need.

(Not a very good photo.. and I have some cleaning up to do... but this will give you an idea.)
10" x 10" on "9 x 9" MDF board
Nano tiles, 3/4" glass tiles with glitter stripes embedded (wish I could remember where I bought these!) pebbles natural and polished, small shells whole and crushed, drift wood, glass crumbles, jewelry findings The sparkle in the center is from an old ring... heart shaped crystal. Again.... my apologies for the photo. LIn will do much better! :)
Mr. Turtle looked pleadingly at me from the store shelf. "I'm ready to go back to the sea!" "Please set me free!!!!" And so...the idea for this mosaic came about. The once neatly placed and planned mosaic on his back... is intentionally coming off. And the beautiful, sparkling black tiles on the bottom half of the board... are breaking up. Mr. Turtle... is going back to being himself... back to nature... back to the sea. He has escaped from the store shelf... but he is also escaping from the decoration I wanted to burden him with.
He'll be much happier...

This is a small mosaic for the Doctors Without Borders 2012 Auction, organized by Lin Schorr. We were limited to 6" sq. I used a fused glass tile and embellished it with fused Sunflowers, Dichroic glass leaves, stringers, and one tiny iridescent Dichroic "Scarab". Vitreous tile and bead border on frame.
I went to an art auction in support of Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders, and came back home with a wonderful object. It is a fully functioning pinhole camera, supplied with a detailed manual and a roll of Agfa film.
Support Haiti relief, text “HAITI” to "20222" and $10 will be given to the Clinton Foundation's Haiti Relief Fund, charged to your cell phone bill. Bill Clinton is the UN Special Envoy for Haiti and is also accepting donations through his foundation.

Tesserae: Hand-cut ceramic and glass tile with vintage and Bakelite beads.
“I am a self-taught mixed media mosaic and assemblage artist from
Telluride, Colorado. I work primarily with ceramic tile, hand-cut glass and recycled junk.
I am first and foremost a colorist and am fascinated by the endless combinations of color. I am constantly seeking new, different, and exciting variations.
I find inspiration from unusual sources; road-side attractions, advertising from the 1940's and 1950's, vintage fabric and old southern folk art (the funkier the better!). I most enjoy taking bits and pieces of nothing and turning them into something. I don't seem to be able to commit myself to just one medium, or one style. My work is in a constant state of evolution.”

Beyond Borders: Mosaic Auction for DWB/MSF
September 2012
Size: 6” x 6” framed
Statement:
I live in the country and sometimes wonder how hard people must have had it years ago? Communities and people relied on each other just to get by. We sometimes take things for granted because it is all accessible to us everyday. It’s not always so in other countries. Doctors Without Borders (DWB) has helped to close the gap and bring much needed help to people in over 60 countries.
I hope my mosaic, when auctioned, will add some much needed funds so DWB can continue to help people in need.
I also hope that the person, who wins the bid, will feel good every time they look at the mosaic. Just knowing that by doing so they have helped someone and made their life a little bit happier too!
Bio:
I enjoy working with my hands. Mosaics have opened up a new area of creativity. I love that you can do or use anything when making a mosaic. Best of all are the other mosaic artists. One of the best groups of people I have ever met!
