Hubby got me some cool pretty papers for background images on photos.
Finally got around to taking pictures of Ichigo. She had some minor spa treatments on her.
As an Allied attack on Europe loomed, the local French Resistance increased its activities in order to disrupt local German forces and hinder communications. 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich was ordered to make its way across the country to the fighting in Normandy. Along the way it killed many French citizens and, in turn, came under attack and sabotage from the French Resistance.
Early on the morning of June 10, 1944, Sturmbannführer Adolf Diekmann, commanding the I. battalion of the 4th Waffen-SS ("Der Führer") panzer-grenadier regiment, informed Sturmbannführer Otto Weidinger at regimental headquarters that he had been approached by two French civilians who claimed that a German officer was being held by the French Resistance in Oradour-sur-Vayres, a nearby town. The captured German was alleged to be Sturmbannführer Helmut Kämpfe, commander of the 2nd SS Panzer reconnaissance battalion, who may have been captured by the maquis the day before.
On June 10 Diekmann's battalion sealed off the town of Oradour-sur-Glane, having confused it with nearby Oradour-sur-Vayres, and ordered all the townspeople – and anyone who happened to be in or nearby the town – to assemble in the village square, ostensibly to have their papers examined. In addition to the residents of the village the SS also apprehended six people who did not live there but had the misfortune of riding their bikes through town when they arrived.
All the women and children were then taken to and locked in the church while the village itself was looted. Meanwhile, the men were led to six barns and sheds where machine-gun nests were already in place. According to the account of a survivor, the soldiers began shooting at them, aiming for their legs so that they would die more slowly. Once the victims were no longer able to move, the soldiers covered their bodies with kindling and set the barns on fire. Only five men escaped; 190 men died.
The soldiers then proceeded to the church and put an incendiary device in place there. After it was ignited, women and children tried to flee from the doors and windows of the church but were met with machine-gun fire. 247 women and 205 children died in the mayhem. Only one woman survived, 47-year-old local housewife Marguerite Rouffanche. She had managed to slide out of a small window at the back of the church, and hid in the bushes overnight until the Germans had moved on. Another small group of about twenty villagers had fled Oradour as soon as the soldiers appeared. That night, the remainder of the village was razed.
A few days later survivors were allowed to bury the dead. 642 inhabitants of Oradour-sur-Glane had been brutally murdered in a matter of hours.

How cute is this?!! One of my favorites from childhood, Gabriel Churchkitten by Margot Austin features these animals that live with a priest in a church. Of course they get into all sorts of trouble, but there's always a happy ending. Our copy didn't survive my childhood, but I found this one on ebay.
Fui fazer minha matrÃcula na faculdade e tive que tirar cópias de uns 300 documentos. Brinks, nem eram 300, mas eram muitos! E alguns tive que tirar duas cópias, etc. Além de fotos 3x4, que fiquei horrÃvel. Mas, pelo menos, estou na universidade! YAYYYYYYYYY.
japanese sekishu & okawara paper. i dyed the two on the left (sekishu) with a mixture of india ink, methylcellulose, and different ammounts of water (to spread the colour). the one on the right is okawara paper, i used pastels on it to give it a mottled texture and colour.
These self made decorative papers will become the pages of a hand made journal I am planning to do. They are gouache on regular white paper of a somewhat heavy quality.

is it Camponotus ligniperda?
the day before yesterday, the young, fertile specimen were leaving the colony - it was quite a sight, but I had the wrong lens a no adequate light with me. Yesterday the colony returned to business as usual - if I didn't know that they live in that particular tree, I wouldn't take any notice of the few specimen running on the trunk...

Yesterday, we were livestreaming our walk around the Lower East Side to highlight some of the wonderful small businesses in the neighborhood and captured this scene of the burning of Joss paper outside a Chinese grocery store. Joss paper also known as incense papers are papercrafts or sheets of paper made into burnt offerings common in Chinese ancestral worship (such as the veneration of the deceased family members and relatives on holidays and special occasions). Joss paper is also used for worship of deities in Chinese folk religion.

The caption states "Half length portrait - Colonel Shiel" while the name Rudolf Steger and Pretoria, Transvaal is at the bottom of the card on either side of a crest. There is some handwriting on either side of the portrait part of which is difficult to decipher while that on the right side appears to be "un prisonnier de guerre" or 'a prisoner of war'?
The uniform is very impressive and that moustache is a piece of sculpture of the finest kind!

I bought these and have been saving it for some time. Recently, I have decided to use some of them for origami (compound of 5 octahedra and japanese brocade).
Gift wrapping paper is just one of the many paper options for origami. But plain paper works well too in showing the actual beauty and shape of the origami. Be it matte, glossy or textured - do give it a try on models you think it will suit best. Enjoy :)
