I needed a new drawer unit for my workspace and actually wanted to go for a white Helmer. Of course I accidently bought a silver one and as I was already painting an other IKEA drawer unit anyway, I also painted the Helmer and then added Cath Kidson stickers to the labels.
I totally love the outcome and actually am quite happy, that I did not get the white one.

German actress Brigitte Helm (1908 - 1996) is a legend because of her dual role as Maria and her double the evil Maria in the silent SF classic Metropolis. After Metropolis, she made a string of over 30 films in which she almost always had the starring role. She easily made the transition to sound films, before she abruptly retired in 1935.

This is Helmi. Although names are not usually translated, her name translates to Pearl :-) Real pearl she is, our new neighbour.

As the temperatures plummeted, it was a good day to spend at the Art Institute of Chicago. Particularly, if you have a new toy to mess around with.

El Abismo de Helm es un lugar ficticio perteneciente al legendarium del escritor sudafricano J. R. R. Tolkien y que aparece en su novela El Señor de los Anillos. Se trata de una profunda garganta que se abre al pie del pico Thrihyrne, en la vertiente norte de las Montañas Blancas. Durante la Tercera Edad, es el lugar donde se erige la poderosa fortaleza de Cuernavilla. Lleva su nombre por Helm, quien se refugió durante la conquista de Wulf
La montaña se abre en dos estribaciones separadas por el precipicio, escarpado y angosto. El Abismo desciende desde una pared de roca, donde se encuentra la entrada a las cuevas de Aglarond. La Corriente del Bajo, que sale de la gruta, fluye por el fondo de la garganta, hasta perderse luego en las lejanías del Valle del Bajo, que se extiende al noreste. De cada lado del Abismo, los riscos se levantan casi verticales. La estribación noroeste se prolonga en un peñón de roca desnuda.
El lugar está sobreelevado respecto al Valle del Folde Oeste y la llanura de Calenardhon, por lo que el Abismo ofrece una visión inmejorable sobre el estratégico Paso de Rohan. Por este motivo, los Númenóreanos construyen a finales de la Segunda Edad una gran fortaleza en la salida del desfiladero: Cuernavilla. Sus murallas y su torre se alzan sobre el espolón noroeste de la montaña, mientras que el Muro del Bajo, que parte de la ciudadela, se erige en dirección al sudeste, cerrando por completo el acceso al Abismo. Una milla más al norte, en el Valle del Bajo, se encuentra la empalizada de Helm, la primera barrera defensiva. Se trata de un parapeto seguido de un ancho foso, y se extiende a lo largo de una milla entre la cadena de colinas que se alzan a cada lado del valle.
Durante la Tercera Edad, Gondor mantiene una guarnición permanente en la zona, que por entonces recibe el nombre genérico de Aglarond. Durante siglos es un lugar tranquilo, alejado de las guerras del sur y del este. Por ello, cuando en 2510 TE se crea el reino de Rohan, los Senescales ceden el Abismo a los Éorlingas. Lo utilizan como plaza fuerte defensiva y último refugio para las gentes del lugar. La población local vive repartida en pequeñas aldeas, granjas y establos de los alrededores. Además, el Abismo es la sede del Segundo Mariscal de la Marca, al mando de al menos un éored.
En 2758-2759 TE, Rohan es atacada por los dunlendinos, liderados por Wulf el traidor, y asistidos por los Corsarios de Umbar. El noveno Rey de la Marca, Helm, se refugia en Cuernavilla. El Abismo es asediado durante todo el Largo Invierno, que afecta tanto a atacantes como a defensores. El segundo hijo de Helm, Háma, muere al salir en búsqueda de provisiones, y el monarca, desesperado, empieza a realizar incursiones en solitario. Helm muere congelado en una de sus salidas, pero el Abismo resiste hasta la primavera, y a partir de entonces recibirá el nombre de Abismo de Helm, en honor al valor del Rey.
A finales de la Tercera Edad, es Théodred, hijo del Rey Théoden, quien ostenta el cargo de Segundo Mariscal. Reside en el Abismo de Helm, junto a Erkenbrand, Señor del Folde Oeste. En febrero de 3019 TE, Théodred parte con doce éoreds hacia el río Isen, donde morirá durante el transcurso de la primera batalla de los Vados del Isen.
Días más tarde, el Abismo de Helm es el lugar donde se celebra uno de los combates más decisivos de la Guerra del Anillo: la Batalla de Cuernavilla. En la noche del 3 al 4 de marzo, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn y los Rohirrim liderados por Théoden, Éomer y Gamelin, se defienden a duras penas de las huestes de Saruman, compuestas por Uruk-hai y dunlendinos. Poco antes del amanecer, unos atacantes consiguen penetrar en el Abismo por primera vez en la historia. Pero serán derrotados in extremis gracias a la llegada de Gandalf y Erkenbrand, al mando de un ejército del Folde Oeste, así como por la aparición inesperada de los Ucornos que provenían del Bosque de Fangorn.(Wikipedia)

Ammophila arenaria is a grass species known by the common names European marram grass and European beachgrass. It is native to the coastlines of Europe and North Africa where it grows in the sands of beach dunes. It grows from a network of thick rhizomes which give it a sturdy anchor in its sand substrate and allow it to spread outward. These rhizomes can grow laterally by 2 metres (7 feet) in six months. It is adapted to habitat made up of shifting, accreting sand layers, as well as that composed of stabilised dunes.
This sand-adapted grass was therefore introduced to the beaches of western North America during the mid-19th century, and also to coastal areas of New Zealand and Western Australia, to provide stabilization to shifting sand dunes. In those parts of the world this species is now recognised as one of the most problematic invasive, noxious weeds, outcompeting native species and reducing species diversity.
