The following is from our second last lecture for physiology. The disorder is called Synaesthesia, however in this branch 'object personality', the patient views things/numbers etc. w/ certain characteristics. In this example, the person is describing the personality of the number 3 as they see it;
“Three is male; definitely male. Three is such a jerk! He only thinks of himself. He does not care about any other numbers or anything. All he wants is to better himself and he’ll use any sneaky, underhanded means necessary. But he’s also pretty young; he doesn’t understand anything and he doesn’t have very much power, as far as social status is concerned. So, he tries to hang out with Eight (who’s also a bad number) just so that he can feel better about himself. But really, none of the numbers can stand him. He’s a real jerk. He’ll pretend as though he’s your friend, but then he’ll manipulate you and stab you in the back if he feels he can gain something from it. Then he’ll never speak to you again. If Three had parents, even his parents would hate him.”

Do you see it?
heheh, Ok ... so my first exam is on the 29th and I have to start reviewing. Either i will be taking a lot of breaks in between and there will be a lot of random uploads, as it happens every exam period. Or there will be nothing. Just wanted to share the number 3 with u guys.
This is "A curved shawl with diamond edging" from Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby. We knitters (and probably other crafters) usually call our projects languishing around UFOs (for unfinished objects). So I finally have an FO! I finished knitting it a while ago, it's just taken me a while to weave in the ends and then block it. Especially with lace, you must wet the garment then stretch and pin it out to dry, or you will never see the pattern. My challenge is finding space large enough to pin a shawl out--plus it is backbreaking work (bending over that thing...)
Then it was a matter of how to photograph it...
a depiction of our desire for material goods- there's always just one more item out of reach, and once we get it, we feel that we will be complete. But once we grab it, we forget its value as we just want another object. Our quest for happiness must be fulfilled in another way

I love thinking about objects and what draws humans to them. I've loved tiny trinkets and "treasures" since before I can remember and actually, to this day, still have the box of them that I collected as a child. I go throw them pretty frequently, usually laughing at the tiny plastic baubles my sister and I often fought over, but... to this day I still hold them near, even though I can see how silly some of them are. It's fascinating how quickly the memories all flood back. Memories that I don't think would still remain if I didn't have those 'things.' Jewelry is such a special thing. I feel so incredibly honored to create treasures that I love and that others may grow to covet or become attached to. Pieces that may be gifted with an incredible amount of love, or passed on as our dearest friends and family return to the earth. Tiny things we can hold and wear and feel a whole moment or a whole person or a whole world inside of... It brings me to tears every single time. In these moments, I know exactly why I do what I do.I love thinking about objects and what draws humans to them.

The large well formed spiral galaxy in the center of the image is Messier Object 106. The light that traveled through my telescope to capture this image is some 25 million years old and came from the constellation Canes Venatici (near the Big Dipper). Most galaxies contain super massive black holes in their cores, but most have reached a state of equilibrium and are relatively stable structures. Astronomers believe, due to the type of X-Ray radiation emitted from the center of this galaxy, that the visible parts of this galaxy might be in the process of being consumed by this black hole.
Looking up and to the left (near the top of the image), you will see what is referred to as an "edge-on" galaxy due to its relative orientation to Earth. This galaxy is also a spiral structure and resembles what out own Milky Way looks like from this same orientation. No fancy name here… this galaxy is referred to as NGC 4217.
Taking a quick look around, I can spot at least 10 other galaxies… sufficient enough to humble me on any day.
As written on this amazing object :
"Holtz graphited penetrating oil is a superfine lubricant with exceptional 'creep'. It will not only rapidly free seized and rusted parts, but 'carries' graphite into position to provide a permanent lubrification. In use simply apply freely to rusted, seized and corroded parts.
Mode d'emploi :
c'est une huile lubrifiante surfine permettant un dégrippage rapide des écrous, boulons et autres pièces métalliques - contient du graphite assurant la lubrification permanente des mécanismes délicats ou difficilement accessibles.

This figure depicts a man on one side and a woman on the other, reflecting the importance of duality in the Andean world view.
