Strange as Angels -in full view.
An oil-paint-washed drawing of an angel statue, weathered by the rain. The purple drip at the bottom is purple and blue candle wax. When you light the 4 wicks at the bottom, the wax drips down creating purplish-blue tears on the ground. The tears become still wax, just like the statue. I think the idea of statues crying in slow motion is very moving.
Size: 8" x 11"
Materials: oil paint, graphite pencil on paper, pistol board, candle wax, powder blue spray paint, lace decal.
i read somewhere online that these acrylicks were a favorite of a french painter, and when i found them at clas olsson (store and postorder/website), i thought i'd give it a try beside system 3 from downey &rowens.
i can easy change the colors as clas olsson has a large store downtown. just have to try them out first, don't i?
the set had another purpose, too, as it looks like i might be away from home after all in july. no trips preplanned, and both man and son working all summer trough, so the class was my summerholiday trip this year. now it looks like one of them get a week of vacation and do not want to spend the days at home (?) as every year before this.... well, i am prepeared! bring it on :-)

La Comunidad de Madrid suma ya más de 332 toneladas de material sanitario para proteger contra el COVID-19 con la llegada hoy de un cuarto avión, en menos de dos semanas, al aeropuerto de Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez. El nuevo flete contratado por el Gobierno regional ha traído 79 toneladas de suministros valorados en 3,8 millones de euros. El material ha llegado en las bodegas de otro Boeing 747 Jumbo –uno de los mayores cargueros aéreos del mundo- que ha aterrizado sobre las 14.00 horas en las pistas de Barajas.

Marzo de 2014, Rennes, noroeste de Francia, un equipo de arqueólogos trabaja en las profundidades del Convento de los Jacobinos. Acaban de destapar cuatro ataúdes de plomo del siglo XVII, abren tres y dentro encuentran esqueletos, claro. Pero al abrir el cuarto se quedan petrificados: un cuerpo incorrupto de 358 años aparece ante sus ojos.
Seguir a @tecnoycienciaEC
Los restos son los de una mujer de un metro y 45 centímetros llamada Louise de Quengo, según revelan ahora los arqueólogos del instituto Inrap.
Una viuda de la nobleza que conservaba sus ropajes y la carne de su cuerpo, aunque con aspecto desagradable.
En sus carnosas manos sostenía un crucifijo. Y un último detalle escabroso: le faltaba el corazón.
El cuerpo de la noble Louise de Quengo, hallado en Rennes (Francia) conserva también su ropaje. (Foto: AFP)
¿Una santa?, ¿brujería, quizás? La respuesta suele ser más terrenal.
La ausencia del corazón se debe a que se lo extrajeron después de fallecer (a los 60 años), al igual que el de su marido, para meterlo en un cofre de un rito funerario de la época.
Pero, ¿el cuerpo? ¿Por qué conservaba su piel, músculos e incluso órganos?
No es el primer caso de cadáveres que se descubren en un excepcional estado de conservación.
Por distintos motivos, hay cuerpos incorruptos de santas, de Papas, de monjes budistas, de revolucionarios rusos, de hombres de la edad de bronce o anónimos contemporáneos de los pueblos de Noruega.
Más allá de creencias místicas, la ciencia explica los motivos para la buena conservación de éstos cadáveres.
En unos casos el proceso es natural y en otros reciben la ayuda (confesada o no) del hombre.
Momificación espontánea y natural
Según explica el antropólogo forense, José Manuel Reverte Coma, en sus estudios para el panameño Instituto Gorgas de Estudios de la Salud, estos cadáveres que aparecen conservados no tienen nada de mística o magia.
"La sequedad produce la momificación espontánea o natural", explica Reverte.
Se trata de un proceso de desecación espontánea o natural que impide la putrefacción y descomposición del cadáver.
"Este fenómeno se da en algunos lugares como son las criptas de algunos monasterios donde la sequedad del ambiente y la ausencia de insectos, unido quizás al hecho de que el cuerpo estaba […] exento de grasa y a la existencia de un medio interno adecuado para destruir las bacterias responsables de la putrefacción, permite que el cuerpo se deseque en forma natural conservándose incorrupto por tiempo indefinido", cuenta.
Algo que parece encajar con el caso de la noble francesa.
Otro camino, opuesto al anterior, es cuando el cadáver queda en un ambiente de humedad relativa, pero estéril.
"Se produce el fenómeno llamado 'adipocira' (de adipós, grasa y cira, cera)", relata Reverte.
Primero se produce una saponificación (transformación de los tejidos en jabones mediante la grasa) y luego una fase plástica, durante la cual las partes blandas se transforman en algo parecido a la plastilina.
"La piel queda elástica convirtiéndose en una especie de badana, como si la hubiesen curtido".
En algunos casos, los tejidos se transforman en cera. "Como la de una vela derretida, que mantiene la forma de los órganos con gran precisión", apostilla el científico.
"La transformación del adipocira en cera cadavérica es lo que ha dado origen a la creencia de que hay cuerpos incorruptos debido a causas sobrenaturales y no hay tal cosa", zanja Reverte.
Otro caso que puede darse es la petrificación, transformación del cadáver en material pétreo debido a la infiltración por hidrioxipatita y carbonato cálcico.
Estos procesos dejan hallazgos impactantes, como las momias de los pantanos de Tollund, en Dinamarca o el hombre de Cashel, en Irlanda.
El aislamiento del cuerpo del oxígeno es un factor importante para la conservación de sus órganos.
Esa es una de las conclusiones que sacaron unos investigadores del York Achaeological Trust de Reino Unido que encontraron un cerebro de 2.600 años de antigüedad perfectamente conservado.
Las grasas y las proteínas del tejido cerebral se unieron entre sí para formar una masa que lo aislaba.
"Como no había ninguna traza de oxígeno en el cerebro y no hay movimiento, éste estaba protegido y preservado", explica el estudio de los arqueólogos.
Y estos sorprendentes fenómenos pueden ser provocados, pero de un modo no intencionado... y que puede suponer un problema.
Es lo que ocurre en Noruega, donde tienen problemas de espacio en sus cementerios porque los cadáveres no se descomponen, según publicó "The Wall Street Journal".
El motivo es que después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial establecieron como medida higiénica enterrar a los muertos envueltos en una funda de plástico. Este aislamiento hace que el descanso eterno esté siendo más largo de lo deseado para los cuerpos físicos de los noruegos.
Para resolverlo están perforando las bolsas con una tecnología especial e inyectando una sustancia para descomponer los cadáveres.
De los secretos egipcios a Lenin o Juan XXIII
Pero la momificación es un proceso que el hombre hace de forma intencionada desde hace miles de años, mediante procesos de embalsamamiento y momificación, normalmente como ritos funerarios.
En la antigua Persia, por ejemplo, los cadáveres se conservaban con cera y entre los pueblos arios, con miel.
Pero quizá, el proceso más famoso sea el de las momias de Egipto.
Según el antropólogo Reverte, primero extraían el cerebro del cadáver por la nariz, para hacer después pasar al cuerpo y sacar los intestinos ("que purifican con vino de palma" y "sustancias aromáticas molidas"). O así lo relato, al menos, el filósofo griego Herodoto.
Estas vísceras se ponían en cuatro vasijas cuyas tapaderas representaban las cabezas de los cuatro hijos de Horus, genios funerarios protectores de los órganos.
Después, llenaban el vientre de mirra pura molida, canela y otras substancias aromáticas y "salaban el cuerpo recubriéndolo con natrón (carbonato de sodio decahidratado)". Así quedaba el cuerpo recubierto durante 70 días. Luego lo envolvían con vendas.
Pero no hace falta remontarse tantos años para encontrar famosos cuerpos momificados, ya con técnicas más modernas.
Es el caso del revolucionario Vladimir Lenin, padre de la Unión Soviética. Por decisión de su sucesor, Joseph Stalin, fue embalsamado tras su muerte en 1924.
O también el papa Juan XXIII, de cuyo cuerpo incorrupto se creó una leyenda de componente religioso, puesta en entredicho en 2001, cuando el médico Gennaro Goglia declaró a la revista católica "Famiglia Cristiana" haber inyectado 10 litros de un líquido embalsamador al cuerpo del pontífice.
"Practicamos un corte en la muñeca derecha del Papa y le introdujimos la aguja y el líquido", dijo.
Aún hoy se ha dado un paso más y se utilizan técnicas de crionización o congelación en nitrógeno líquido a 150º bajo cero. Otro milagro, de la ciencia.

TWO SOLID CHUNKS OF GEM CHALCEDONY VIVIDLY COLORED BY MANGANOAN SUGILITE.
Very rare stuff.:)
material came from the Wessels Mine near Hotazel in the Kuruman district, Cape Province, Republic of South Africa. It was part of the original 24000 pound discovery made in 1980, by S.A. Manganese Armcor, Limited, of Johannesburg.
I've tried to capture the color change within this material within the photos above... but these shots really don't do the material justice.
This material has an incredible color change quality.. especially the larger, more translucent chunk. This chalcedony has a heavy sugilite content making it very color saturated. We'll eventually use some of this material for jewelry. Due to the rarity and high value of this material we will probably set this sugilite in gold:)
I'd love to see some of this stuff in one of Mark's inlay rings!

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Hazel Court, Robert Urquhart, Valerie Gaunt, Melvyn Hayes, Anne Blake, Sally Walsh, Raymond Ray, Paul Hardtmuth. Directed by Terence Fisher.
The Curse of Frankenstein – Another Hammer classic and the first of their Gothic horror movies for which the studio would become famous for. Directed by Terence Fisher, who would later make “ Dracula” and starring Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstein as well as Christopher Lee as the Creature. It was released in 1957 and was an instant box office hit despite the rather conservative reviews of the British press “for sadists only” declared the Telegraph and “among the half dozen most repulsive films I have encountered” cried the Observer. Not very flattering for a movie as ground breaking as this.
Curse of frankenstein - Peter CushingAs with the production of “ Dracula” which followed this, the story veers from the original source material, which in this case is the stunning novel by Mary Shelley. However that doesn’t stop this from being a damned good yarn laced with some wonderful gallows humour; look out for the “pass the marmalade dear”.
The story begins with Frankenstein telling his confessional to priest in a prison cell. The story then shifts as we learn that at the age of fifteen the young Victor inherited his father’s title and estate and appoints himself a science tutor Paul Krempe (Robert Urquhart) and together they work with only one goal in mind, the reanimation of the dead. After successfully reanimating the corpse of a dog Victor persuades a reluctant Paul to not just reanimate a human corpse but to build the perfect man. One could read a homosexual subtext to this and no doubt there is one, however I shall leave that to better qualified people than I.
Together Victor and Paul steal the body of a highway man but Victor requires his creature to have a “lifetime of knowledge” and murders Professor Bernstein (Paul Hardtmuth) for his brain. This is too much for Paul to bear and both he and Victor fight which results in the brain being damaged. However on a stormy night a stray bolt of lightning activates the Creature, unhinged, it attempts to strangle Victor before it can be restrained. In the morning, though, it’s a different story, they discover that the Creature has broken loose and escaped killing a blind man and his grandson before being shot by Paul. Undeterred by these events Victor exhumes the body of the Creature and attempts to revive it.
