This 6m tall Sheep Lunar Lantern, created by Alexandra Sommer and Brad Clark, took the form of a giant Merino ram. It formed part of the Lunar Lanterns display featuring art installations for 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac. The display was held between 16 Feb and 25 Feb.
I cloned the ram and created a more colourful cartoon-like background.

At only two centimetres in diameter, this continental silver, reverse glass painting and guilloché enamel brooch is a miniature piece of art. Of Austrian origin, it is marked on the reverse with the number 900, it is made of 90% pure silver and is only just shy of 100% quality sterling silver. Many high-end jewellers in Vienna made 900 grade quality silver jewellery for the wealthy upper-middle and upper classes during a period of great economic and cultural growth between the 1890s until the outbreak of the Second World War. Turn of the Twentieth Century Vienna is also famous for its love and support of the Jugendstil movement (the artistic style that arose in Germany and Austria about the mid 1890s and continued through the first decade of the 20th century, deriving its name from the Munich magazine Die Jugend (“Youth”), which featured Art Nouveau designs), through famous institutions such as the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop), established in 1903 by Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann, and artists like Gustav Klimt and Emilie Louise Flöge who were supported by wealthy patrons and philanthropists like the Bloch Bauer family.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, which incidentally will be the final weekly “Snap Happy” theme before reverting to monthly on the 5th of December, is “anything at all… as long as it is small” which was chosen by me.
The stylised Art Nouveau woman in this brooch is painted in reverse directly onto the glass, an art form with its derivations found in Middle Age Central Europe, which reached its zenith in the 19th Century when painting on glass was widely popular as folk art in Austria, Bavaria, Moravia, Bohemia and Slovakia, but was also taken up by highly skilled artisans who created fine miniatures using single hair brushes. This brooch is one of the latter. The finer details in the forefront of the image you see were painted first using a single hair brush, followed then by the blocks of colour filling out the image using various brush types and thicknesses, building up the image in reverse. This brooch is unusual and was probably more expensive or may been have been a commissioned bespoke piece because it has a brilliant yellow guilloché enamel background. Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into an underlying material via engine turning, which uses a machine of the same name, also called a rose engine lathe. This mechanical technique improved on more time-consuming designs achieved by hand and allowed for greater delicacy, precision, and closeness of line, as well as greater speed. Translucent enamel was applied over guilloché metal by Peter Carl Fabergé on the Faberge eggs and other pieces from the 1880s.
Two phases can be discerned in Jugendstil: an early one, before 1900, that is mainly floral in character, rooted in English Art Nouveau and Japanese applied arts and prints; and a later, more abstract phase, growing out of the Viennese work of the Belgian-born architect and designer Henry van de Velde. This brooch is definitely of the pre-1900 phase both because of the image of the young woman in the brooch, but also the foliate filigree work in the silver mount.
SCOUT: *Slurping noises.*
PADDY: "Scout! It's rude to make noises like that when you drink your tea!"
SCOUT: "It is Paddy?"
PADDY: "Oh yes it is Scout, very rude!" *Tuts and shakes his head.*
SCOUT: "Oh dear! I'm confused Paddy." *Scratches head.* "I heard that if you burp in France after you have finished your meal, you are paying a compliment to the chef. This Lapsang Souchong tea is so nicely made that I wanted to compliment the nice waitress who brought it to us."
PADDY: "Then best you say 'thank you' to her instead Scout.
That is a much nicer way of showing your appreciation. Anyway, we aren't in France, and even if we were, I still think that burping after a meal is impolite no matter where you are."
SCOUT: "Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction Paddy. I will say thank you to the waitress now!" *Beckons over the waitress.* "Ahem. Excuse me nice waitress lady. The tea and little deadly cakes were delicious. Thank you. Would you like a cuddle?"
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his Macintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout is a recent addition to our little family. He was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
The "The Gables" has a beautiful, light filled tea room which they call the "Peacock Room" because of the beautiful Art Nouveau inspired blue peacock wallpaper they have decorated the room with. It used to be "The Gables" best, or master bedroom and dressing room. Now turned into one room it has a high ceiling featuring Art Nouveau mouldings and several elegant stained glass windows featuring stylised Art Nouveau flowers depicted in a striking combination of blue and gold, and one window full of golden yellow pears. The window of pears has a similar window in the entrance hall.
"The Gables" is a substantial villa that sits proudly on leafy Finch Street in the exclusive inner city suburb of East Malvern.
Built in 1902 for local property developer Lawrence Alfred Birchnell and his wife Annie, "The Gables" is considered to be one of the most prominent houses in the Gascoigne Estate. The house was designed by Melbourne architect firm Ussher and Kemp in what was the prevailing style of the time, Queen Anne, which is also known as Federation style (named so after Australian Federation in 1901). Ussher and Kemp were renowned for their beautiful and complex Queen Anne houses and they designed at least six other houses in Finch Street alone. "The Gables" remained a private residence for many years. When Lawrence Birchnell sold it, the house was converted into a rooming house. It remained so throughout the tumultuous 1920s until 1930 when it was sold again. The new owners converted "The Gables" into a reception hall for hire for private functions. The first wedding reception was a breakfast held in the formal dining room in 1930, followed by dancing to Melbourne’s first jukebox in the upstairs rooms. Notorious Melbourne gangster Joseph Theodore Leslie "Squizzy" Taylor was reputed to have thrown a twenty-first birthday party for his girlfriend of the day in the main ballroom (what had originally been the house's billiards room). "The Gables" became very famous for its grand birthday parties throughout the 1930s and 1940s. With its easy proximity to the Caulfield Race Course, "The Gables" ran an underground speakeasy and gambling room upstairs and sold beer from the back door during Melbourne’s restrictive era of alcohol not sold after six o'clock at night. Throughout its history, "The Gables" has been a Melbourne icon, celebrating generation after generation of Melbourne’s wedding receptions, parties and balls. Lovingly restored, the atmosphere and charm of "The Gables" have been retained for the future generations.
Grand in its proportions, "The Gables" is a sprawling villa that is built of red brick, but its main feature, as the name suggests, is its many ornamented gables. The front façade is dominated by six different sized gables, each supported by ornamental Art Nouveau influenced timber brackets. The front and side of the house is skirted by a wide verandah decorated with wooden balustrades and rounded fretwork. "The Gables" features two grand bay windows and three other large sets of windows along the front facade, all of which feature beautiful and delicate Art Nouveau stained glass of stylised flowers or fruit. Impressive Art Nouveau stained glass windows can also be found around the entrance, which features the quote made quite popular at the time by Australian soprano Nellie Melba "east, west, home's best." Art Nouveau stained glass can be found in all of the principal rooms of the house; both upstairs and down. “The Gables” also features distinctive chimneys and the classic Queen Anne high pitched gable roofs with decorative barge-boards, terra-cotta tiles and ornate capping.
As a result of Federation in 1901, it was not unusual to find Australian flora and fauna celebrated in architecture. This is true of "The Gables", which features intricate plaster work and leadlight throughout the mansion showing off Australian gum leaves and flowers. "The Gables" has fifteen beautifully renovated rooms, many of which are traditionally decorated, including beautiful chandeliers, ornate restored wood and tile fireplaces, leadlight windows, parquetry flooring, sixteen foot ceilings and a sweeping staircase. The drawing room still also features the original leadlight conservatory "The Gables" boasted when it was first built.
"The Gables", set on an acre of land, still retains many of the original trees, including the original hedge and two enormous cypress trees in the front. The garden was designed by William Guilfoyle, the master landscape architect of the Royal Botanical Gardens, and "The Gables" still retains much of it original structure. It features a rose-covered gazebo, a pond and fountain, as well as the tallest Norfolk Island pine in the area, which can be seen from some of the tallest skyscrapers in the Melbourne CBD.
Henry Hardie Kemp was born in Lancashire in 1859 and designed many other fine homes around Melbourne, particularly in Kew, including his own home “Held Lawn” (1913). He also designed the APA Building in Elizabeth Street in 1889 (demolished in 1980) and the Melbourne Assembly Hall on Collins Street between 1914 and 1915. He died in Melbourne in 1946.
Beverley Ussher was born in Melbourne in 1868 and designed homes and commercial buildings around Melbourne, as well as homes in the country. He designed "Milliara" (John Whiting house) in Toorak, in 1895 (since demolished) and "Blackwood Homestead" in Western Australia. He died in 1908.
Beverley Ussher and Henry Kemp formed a partnership in 1899, which lasted until Beverley's death in 1908. Their last building design together was the Professional Chambers building in Collins Street in 1908. Both men had strong Arts and Crafts commitments, and both had been in partnerships before forming their own. The practice specialised in domestic work and their houses epitomize the Marseilles-tiled Queen Anne Federation style houses characteristic of Melbourne, and considered now to be a truly distinctive Australian genre. Their designs use red bricks, terracotta tiles and casement windows, avoid applied ornamentation and develop substantial timber details. The picturesque character of the houses results from a conscious attempt to express externally with gables, dormers, bays, roof axes, and chimneys, the functional variety of rooms within. The iconic Federation houses by Beverley Ussher and Henry Kemp did not appear until 1892-4. Then, several of those appeared in Malvern, Canterbury and Kew.
Queen Anne style was mostly a residential style inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England, but also encompassed some of the more stylised elements of Art Nouveau, which gave it an more decorative look. Queen Anne style was most popular around the time of Federation. With complex roofline structures and undulating facades, many Queen Anne houses fell out of fashion at the beginning of the modern era, and were demolished.
A picture worth a thousand words. I recovered this image from a damaged CD that dated back to my newspaper days in the early 90s. Daily assignments back then included finding feature art that could stand alone as main art on section fronts.

***So as mentioned this film was processed and scanned by Target. As photographers know, taking film to consumer grade labs can be risky, but in the two years I've lived in Frederick my Target lab techs have taken very good care of me so I've continually entrusted them with my work and enjoyed shooting more due to the low prices. However, while organizing my negatives, I found that the roll this shot is on was missing and was switched with someone else's film. I was profoundly upset and feeling somewhat hopeless about film and photography in general. However, after talking with two awesome lab techs, they managed to track down my missing roll of film, many hours after I discovered the error. Somehow my film has made it from Maryland to North Carolina! But it's safe and sound and the other photographer will be mailing my film back to my local Target lab and they theirs. Every lab can make mistakes but only dedicated folks will go so far to help their customers. While frustrating and temporarily annoying, this experience has strengthened my love for film and the need to communicate with our labs to make good stuff happen.

"Sam Sisson" "queefpantry" "comedian" "Johnny Martyr"
there's lots to like about this one
this one made me violate my self-imposed rule "do not photograph things"
this "thing" spoke to me
so I photographed
do zoom in on the details, I think you won't regret
I have a somewhat difficult relationship with "art"
not that "art" cares or even is aware of that
I do have a very clear view of what art is or is not and this view does not include quality as a feature
art can be bad, average, great, genius
being called art doesn't say anything about being talented or not
but I do like my art not to be average or boring or good enough
it's just me, I know, tastes differ
but for me being surprised, presented with unexpected is the deal breaker, that's what makes me either spend time with it or not care, if I am not immediately excited/ and preferably blown over by a piece of art I move on , I couldn't care less, yes you are still art but you are just a piece of art not worth spending time on, I want to be surprised and taken off guard, then, art, we have a date
now this "thing" that I saw this morning next to a supermarket in a "dodgy" side of town ( yes we also have those) surprised me and it's more than I can say about many acclaimed "masterpieces" swanning around in glossy albums

nrhp # 77001120- George Westinghouse Memorial Bridge in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, carries U.S. Route 30, the Lincoln Highway, over the Turtle Creek Valley near to where it joins the Monongahela River Valley east of Pittsburgh. The reinforced concrete open-spandrel deck arch bridge has a total length of 1,598 feet (487 m) comprising five spans. The longest, central span is 460 feet (140 m), with the deck height 240 feet (73 m) above the valley floor, for a time the world's longest concrete arch span structure.[4] It cost $1.75 million ($34.8 million in 2021 dollars). The design engineers were Vernon R. Covell and George S. Richardson, with architectural design by Stanley Roush. The pylons at the ends of the bridges feature Art Deco reliefs by Frank Vittor.[5]
The bridge is named for George Westinghouse (October 6, 1846 – March 12, 1914), the American entrepreneur and engineer. Nearby was the famous Westinghouse Electric Corporation East Pittsburgh Works, which is now an industrial park. Notable attractions visible while driving across the bridge include the Edgar Thomson Steel Works (U.S. Steel Mon Valley Works) and Kennywood Park.

Although smaller than its grander Art Nouveau drawing room across the hall, the cosy sitting room of Billilla is no less beautiful as it is filled with light through a large bay window featuring Art Nouveau stained glass.
The Art Nouveau stained glass panels of the bay window and the wooden fretwork framing it are the only two features installed as part of the 1907 extension and renovation of Billilla. The rest of the room is, like the Billilla billiard room, remarkably intact decoratively in fine Victorian style.
Even though it is smaller than the drawing room, the sitting room was still one of the showpiece main rooms of the mansion when guests came to call. Elegantly proportioned and appointed, it too is a very femininely oriented room. The ceiling of the drawing room is decorated classically inspired boiseries and garlands. These are also reflected in bas reliefs along the plate rail and across the mirrored overmantle over the black and white tile fireplace.
Above the white painted dado and plate rail, the walls feature panels of Art Nouveau wallpaper. Although we usually associate the Art Nouveau period with the first decade of the Twentieth Century, it actually began in the 1880s, when Mr. Weatherly bought Billilla. Mrs. Weatherly probably chose the more restrained, earlier style of Art Nouveau paper because it was just becoming fashionable at the time she moved in.
The room is accessed by two sets of doors with glass panels and brass doorknobs.
Built in High Victorian style in 1878 for successful gold miner Robert Wright, Billilla mansion was originally a thirteen room mansion erected on seven and a half acres of land.
When economic boom turned to bust in the 1880s, the property was purchased in 1888 by wealthy New South Wales pastoralist William Weatherly who named it Billilla after his land holdings and established a home there for his wife Jeannie and their children Violet, Gladys and Lionel.
The house was substantially altered by architect Walter Richmond Butler in 1907, extending the house beyond its original thirteen rooms and adding the Art Nouveau façade seen today.
After William Weatherly's death in 1914, his wife, who was much younger, remained living there until her own death in 1933. She bequeathed the property to her daughter, Violet, who maintained the home with reduced staff until her own death in 1972.
The property was purchased in 1973 by the Bayside Council who subsequently used Billilla as a historical house with guided tours, a wedding and events venue, a school and finally in 2009 as an artist's precinct in the property's outbuildings. Billilla is a beautiful heritage property retaining many of its original features thanks to its long private ownership still incorporating a stately formal garden and the magnificent historic house.
Billilla, at 26 Halifax Street, Brighton, is one of Melbourne’s few remaining significant homesteads, built on land which had originally been owned by Nicholas Were. The house has a mixture of architectural styles, featuring a Victorian design with Art Nouveau features and has exquisite formal gardens, which retain much of their original Nineteenth Century layout.
Billilla retains many original Victorian elements and a number of outbuildings still stand to the rear of the property including the butler’s quarters, dairy, meat house, stable garden store and coach house.
Billilla was opened to the general public as part of the Melbourne Open House weekend 2022.
Billilla was used as a backdrop in the 1980 Australian Channel 10 miniseries adaptation of Sumner Locke Elliott's "Water Under the Bridge". It was used at the Sydney harbourside home of Luigi, Honor and Carrie Mazzini.

The main hallway leading from the original front door, past Mr. Weatherly's study, the dining and breakfast rooms is a beautiful and bright space, owing to a couple of ingenious design features. A large light well above, featuring Art Nouveau moulding fills the space with natural light which is then reflected off several full length mirrors along the walls.
Light too comes from the front door, which not unusually, features beautiful leadlight panels in both its doors as well as an arched lunette above. The lunette has a stylised Art Nouveau tulip in it, whilst the late Victorian era door panels feature four panes of flowers and two panes of birds, all hand painted and expertly coloured in rippled glass.
The l-shaped hallway is papered with light Art Nouveau wallpaper featuring irises, and as well at the ornate foliate chandeliers, it is also lit with Art Nouveau lanterns of burnished copper.
Built in High Victorian style in 1878 for successful gold miner Robert Wright, Billilla mansion was originally a thirteen room mansion erected on seven and a half acres of land.
When economic boom turned to bust in the 1880s, the property was purchased in 1888 by wealthy New South Wales pastoralist William Weatherly who named it Billilla after his land holdings and established a home there for his wife Jeannie and their children Violet, Gladys and Lionel.
The house was substantially altered by architect Walter Richmond Butler in 1907, extending the house beyond its original thirteen rooms and adding the Art Nouveau façade seen today.
After William Weatherly's death in 1914, his wife, who was much younger, remained living there until her own death in 1933. She bequeathed the property to her daughter, Violet, who maintained the home with reduced staff until her own death in 1972.
The property was purchased in 1973 by the Bayside Council who subsequently used Billilla as a historical house with guided tours, a wedding and events venue, a school and finally in 2009 as an artist's precinct in the property's outbuildings. Billilla is a beautiful heritage property retaining many of its original features thanks to its long private ownership still incorporating a stately formal garden and the magnificent historic house.
Billilla, at 26 Halifax Street, Brighton, is one of Melbourne’s few remaining significant homesteads, built on land which had originally been owned by Nicholas Were. The house has a mixture of architectural styles, featuring a Victorian design with Art Nouveau features and has exquisite formal gardens, which retain much of their original Nineteenth Century layout.
Billilla retains many original Victorian elements and a number of outbuildings still stand to the rear of the property including the butler’s quarters, dairy, meat house, stable garden store and coach house.
Billilla was opened to the general public as part of the Melbourne Open House weekend 2022.
Billilla was used as a backdrop in the 1980 Australian Channel 10 miniseries adaptation of Sumner Locke Elliott's "Water Under the Bridge". It was used at the Sydney harbourside home of Luigi, Honor and Carrie Mazzini.
Built in 1928, this 27-story Art Deco-style skyscraper was designed by Holabird & Root for Rufus R. Rand, a World War I Aviator and member of the family that owned the Minneapolis Gas Company. The building was at one point renamed the Dain Tower, while it was occupied by the firm of Dain Rauscher Wessels, an investment bank, before they moved in 1992. The building features an exterior with heavy vertical emphasis, decorative metal and stone spandrel panels, limestone bocks, and several setbacks near the top of the building, with the interior lobby featuring Art Deco ornamentation and decoration. The building now functions as a the Rand Tower Hotel, a Mariott Tribute Hotel. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
