A view of Harpers Ferry NPS, West Virginia, from Maryland Heights. To the left is the Shenandoah River and to the right is the Potomac. The train tracks service Amtrak, MARC, and CSX freight.
And a little tomfoolery with lens blur....
Thank you for taking the time to comment, award and/or critique my work, I truly appreciate each and everyone!
Thank you and I hope you enjoy your day :-)
Because sculpting corals from polymer clay is sooooo muc FUN!
Love working the organic shapes and with so much colors :)
I designed this bargello piece about 1999, but since I haven't decided what to do with it, I still haven't bound it or otherwise finished it. It is about 15 inches high. Almost half of the vertical strips are only one-fourth inch wide. I originally thought I'd use it on the front of a tote bag, but since it took quite a long time to do, I'm not sure that that is a good choice. The colors aren't right to use it as a wall hanging in my home as currently decorated. Hmmmmmm.

Miniature bedroom from a flat I built in 1989. Bed and bedding, cat, magazines, Picassoesque nude woman rug and venetian blinds made by me, plus drawers (made from a kit).
Out of being addicted to processional Marian images, my bestrfiend, his brother and I came up with this "carrozita". It is displayed in my place right now.
I've been sculpting with lots of passion this month, and corals are my latest obsession :)
I love working on colors and texture so these are perfect for my cravings :)

The Miniature Railroad’s story began in 1919 with a man named Charles Bowdish of Brookville, PA. Originally a holiday display on the second floor of his house, it moved to the Buhl Planetarium in 1954, and ultimately found its final home at Carnegie Science Center in 1992.
1. Find images on line (through Google images) to duplicate. Bring them into Microsoft Publisher or Word.
2. Print on cardstock.
3. Cut/score the box. Use very sharp, pointy scissors.
4. Glue the box together. I left the tea box top open because I'm hoping to make tiny tea bags sometime. The tea box is slightly messy, but I only had a few minutes so I used it.

The landscape of the Pacific Northwest was full of unforgettable poetic vignettes. Tiny steams and miniature waterfalls were among the most enjoyable ones of all, and I certainly could not move my eyes from them.
The 10 1/4" gauge Farnborough Miniature Railway (known as the Fox Hill Miniature Railway for the first few weeks) only operated for two years - 1936 and 1937. The half-mile line was built by local engineer H.C.S. Bullock mostly as a test track where he could demonstrate his locomotives to potential customers. Shortly after opening a partnership was formed with wealthy London banker Alexander Kinloch and the railway became more commercialised in operation.
Bullock left the railway at the end of the first season due to a disagreement and took a couple of his locos with him - the following year he built a railway at California-in-England near Wokingham.
Kinloch continued alone and for 1938 he extended the track to give a 1.5 mile round trip. However it was never a huge commercial success and he began planning a new and much more ambitious railway nearby - The Surrey Border & Camberley. At the start of 1938 all the equipment was moved the short distance to its new home.
Where was it located? It's hard to say exactly as the whole area is now extensively developed and built over - the M3 motorway even crosses the old route! From available evidence and guess work it seems to have started somewhere near the intersection of Beech Rd and Sand Hill. It then headed off in a NW direction, crossing the Cove Brook river and terminating somewhere near to the Fox Inn Pub on Chapel Lane. Passengers could apparently walk through the hedge and get drinks at the pub in between trains!
The Re-ment Addicts Group did a Color Theme Challenge quite some time ago, but I didn't have time to do it. I was inspired by all of the great photos they did, so now that I have a lot of time on my hands, I decided it would be fun to do. I am going to do the whole rainbow, and probably post way more photos than I should!

Penang (Malay: Pulau Pinang) is an island off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is also the name of the Malaysian state which is made up of Penang Island and the facing strip of territory on the mainland called Seberang Perai (formerly Province Wellesley).
Penang's beaches are nice, though a little lackluster when compared to those in some other Malaysian states, but this is more than compensated for by the island's rich multicultural history which is full of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European influences.
Penang is also well known for being the "food paradise" of Malaysia. -wiki
