Fifield Furniture, 500 East Coolbaugh Street, Red Oak, Iowa. This building was originally a National Guard Armory. Built in 1896 at a cost of $6,000, the original building was only one story high. In 1905, Pratt and Pratt, a Red Oak Contractor, used screw jacks and blocks to raise the entire roof, and a second floor was added. The building was used as a theatre and civic meeting house in addition to the headquarters for Iowa National Guard, Company M. The National Guard eventually moved elsewhere and the building became a furniture store in 1960s. Fifield Furniture is now permanently closed.
Gem photo, "Potters Patent, March 7, 1865." This is a photo from an album that had belonged to Hester Ann Ellingwood Fifield (1820-1895).
Gram Fifield, and her husband, Edward, were foster parents for my Great-grandmother Rose Ella Andrews after her father died in the Civil War and her mother died soon after. My maternal grandparents saw I was interested in old photos and gave me Gram Fifield's album in the 1960s.
The back of the card is blank.
Perhaps this is a photo of an earlier photo?

"R.W. Potter of New York patented his picture card frame on March 7, 1865 and it is his patented card mount which is most commonly encountered amongst those with any patent markings printed on them.... The form of tintype (also referred to as ferrotype or sometimes melainotype) known as a 'gem'; is a small photographic image usually anywhere from 3/4" to 1" wide and 1¼" high made possible by the use of a multi-lens camera with repeating back which therefore could produce multiple exposures on a single photographic plate. In terms of quantity, the gem was the most prolifically produced form of photograph in the 1860s in America...."
---- Marcel Safier
St Peter and St Paul, Wing, Rutland
Another bike ride in England's smallest county. Sixteen churches altogether, which sounds a lot, but churches in Rutland are refreshingly close together, and generally open, although I did find two that said they were open and weren't, and one that said it wasn't, but was.
Part five.
I cycled out to the edge of Uppingham, and at a crossroads kissed lightly the tour I had made a fortnight before. That time I arrived at the crossroads from the south and turned east, today I arrived from the west and turned north. Across a narrow valley stood the village of Bisbrooke. To be honest, I had chickened out of Bisbrooke two weeks previously on the strength of the alarming dip between me and it, but with a bit more physical and mental energy now I hurtled down, and then puffed and panted up into a delightful and intensely rural little hilltop village. Just off of the main street, a narrow lane led to the church.
This is a 19th Century rebuilding of a medieval church, presumably on the same site but much larger, making it difficult to photograph and also making it seem far more imposing than it needs to be. Indeed, the battered gingerbread of the exterior makes it seem something of a fortress. The tower sits at the west end of a south aisle, and a nave with clerestories has been built beside it, so I wondered if the aisle was on the plan of the original church, the tower built on the foundations of the previous one. A painting inside the church shows it with a spire, but whether this was never built, or if it was taken down later, I don't know. Externally, it is all a bit forbidding, and I feared for the interior, but in the event I couldn't have been more wrong, for it is full of light and space. At some time towards the end of the 20th Century all the Victorian trappings were removed, the floor repaved in cool stone and the pews replaced by simple modern chairs. It is a clean, simple delight.
The east window, looking out to the valley below, has excellent glass of the Risen Christ, a central figure in opulent textured glass surrounded by clear glass, which creates a dramatic effect. I'd been led to believe that it was by Francis Skeat, but when I got home I noticed a corrigenda slip pasted into the front of my copy of Paul Sharpling's Stained Glass in Rutland Churches which includes the line p 33 Bisbrooke. Now thought not to be by F Skeat, so I'm left to wonder. It does seem to be in a Christopher Webb/Francis Skeat style, though not quite right for either of them, especially with that textured glass.
There is a simple WWI memorial chapel with two battlefield crosses to Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon Percy Evans-Freke, the original burial cross and the later gathered cemetery cross. The only 'old' things remaining in the church are the 19th Century font by the door and a small, unobtrusive window by Burlison & Gryls behind it, the only other coloured glass in the space. It makes you think what could be done with some other gloomy Victorian spaces.
From Bisbrooke it was a short distance back up to the A47, which this being Rutland has a cyclepath beside it here, which led into Glaston. I remembered the big Hall from regular journeys between Ipswich and Leicester, and in truth there isn't much more to the village than this other than a pub and the church up the back lane to the north of the road. Set back from the lane, it is a charming sight, the dumpy central tower above a narrow church with a fizzy mock-Dec window at the west end. There are no transepts. The windows around are eccentric, those to the south being assymetrical Dec. As Pevsner notes, if you take the south porch as their central axis, they become symmetrical with regard to each other. So they were conceived as a set, but this must often have been the case, so one wonders why it happened here and not elsewhere.
Internally, it is a bit gloomy but not without charm, as long, narrow churches often are. There is a north aisle, and the roof of it carries over from the nave, bringing the clerestory openings above the arcade inside the building. The interior had a pretty extensive going over in the late 19th Century, perhaps bankrolled by the Evans-Freke family of the Hall whose memorials are here and at Bisbrooke, with glass by a number of 19th Century workshops.
I was heading north again, back across that dreaded valley, but it was not so severe here and I soon reached the hilltop village of Wing, barely a hundred yards from where I had turned off for Preston and Uppingham an hour or two earlier. In the village street was the church, with a large 'church open' sign outside. The great star here is a fabulous Norman south arcade in a county where Norman arcades are by no means unusual. There is also some good 20th Century glass, and the feel of a well-used, well-loved church. None of the oddities perhaps that I had encountered previously on this journey, and if I visited it in isolation it would probably have been more memorable, but a nice church nonetheless.
And now, I headed east, scenting the train home from Stamford but with three more churches to visit before I got there.
To be continued.
Paint progress on "The Beast" - ALIEN 79 -1:18 scale. Closed mouth "lipped" version - Group shots containing the transparent dome. I painted the dome as it would be a living part of the organism, not just a cool see through cover...looking organic, not just transparent. It's living material so you'd think it would have veining, textures, and various waves of color throughout the fleshy dome. Used swirls of clear gloss mixed with earth toned colors inside the dome to give some dimension to the vacuum formed piece. Pretty cool effects when the light moves through it. The rest of the head sculpt used an oily black as a base and additional earth tones and grays- this will play through the rest of the body and the rest of the head sculpts. #alien #bigchap #nostromo #alien79 #painting #giger

Test paint of the AVA head sculpt - 1:12 scale - EX MACHINA. NOT THE FINAL - I need to stress this as there's several issues involving the sculpt itself that needs to be corrected - many times this can only be seen once a paint test is worked up....at least that's how I role. I can see her....in some spots but there's distinct facial features Alicia Vikander has that I have failed to capture effectively...very small features that shouldn't be difficult to change to the master sculpt. Paint app can be lighter as well and the eyes are not as round as they should be...a bit heavy on the lashes and the area above the eyes. Not bad for my first go after over a year I think but I will need to make adjustments on my next go with AVA. I like how this turned out even though it's not my final vision - I'll just pretend I'm Nathan and movie to version 1.2 smile emoticon #exmachina #ava #paintwork #testpaint #buildingrobots
New high-rise apartments and new luxury condos just to the north on the site where St Dominic's church is being demolished.
Get a fresh take on new homes, apartments, neighborhoods and the way life’s lived in Chicago at YoChicago.
Paint test for the standard Kane (Sir John Hurt) head sculpt is complete - 1/12 scale - ALIEN 79. The head sculpt is photographed attached to the NECA body (I did not sculpt the suit).
Made some paint adjustments from my initial test- Sculpt is solid. Don't see any need for adjustments to the sculpt. Working to finish the paint app for "snoopy cap" version tomorrow and will post images soon! #alien #johnhurt #NECA #nostromo #spacesuit #sculpture #painting #art

Sculpt/Paint update on Ripley- 1:18 scale - ALIEN 79
Ripley's head sculpt has gone through an evolution since 2012 when I started this project. This particular sculpt is a variant from the master- wearing a headset as most the crew did during the Nostromo's landing and ascension from the planet. This, the master sculpt and two others (one being with her hair up) will round out Ripley's likeness. Also included in the shot is the beginning paint work on Jonesy the Cat as well as multiple Working Joes from Alien: Isolation - (6) plus master that will be made. #alien #alienisolation #nostromo #ripley #painting #sculpting

Celtic Connections Festival, www.celticconnections.com/.
Country: Sweden. Style: various styles of traditional music.
Lineup: Ale Möller (låtmandola/flutes/whistle/trumpet/cow's horn/piano accordion/harmonium/hammered dulcimer), Aly Bain (fiddle), Fraser Fifield (low whistle/border pipes/soprano sax), Tuva Syvertsen (v/hardanger fiddle/harmonium/percussion), Knut Reiersrud (g/lap steel g), Olle Linder (d/percussion/b).
This project began as a commission for a 2016 concert in the Jazz At Berlin Philharmonic series. The aim was to step away from Jazz towards "Celtic Music". However, as a Swede and a Norwegian were asked to put the concert together it became about the paths taken by Celtic music as it travelled across northern European and the United States. The performance at Celtic Connections lacked one of the seven musicians from 2016 - Eric Bibb. However there were still several American folk songs e.g. "Mole in the Ground", "In the Pines", "St James Infirmary" (though not ones I have ever thought of as "Celtic"). The group is now two Swedes, two Norwegians and two Scots. I have previously taken photos of Ale Möller and Aly Bain in a trio with Bruce Molsky (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157625540625666/), Bain in his duo with Phil Cunningham (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/albums/72157680303772331/), and a Fraser Fifield Quartet (www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157638468331024/),
