We had the opportunity to sample several fine chinese teas at the New Century Tea Gallery on Maynard in Seattle. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it both for tea enthusiasts, and for their friends or family who would like to understand what all the fuss is about.

Just trying out ways to make one.
She has no sketch or concept so she ended up with the worlds biggest arse.
Her color is a bit uneven,
I got a old set of epoxy from a relative and I don't think you can preserve it all that long after opening?
I hope next time she has legs and arms. But I have a big photo project and I have no clue when to squeeze her in.
Some 25 years ago I picked this up as a sample when choosing tiles for our house. We opted for something simpler and it has been a coaster in my office ever since.
Biologists measure forage available to wintering bison and elk beginning in December. The assessments are taken at a number of sample sites and calculated into pounds per acre. Forage availability is a key factor in the Refuge's winter management program.

Another sample for the quilt shop. This bag was made from Mary Jo Hiney's "Illustration" Silk Adaptations pattern using her "endearing" small piece silk collection.

Fake food samples appear prevalently in the windows and display cases of food-serving establishments throughout Japan. Once made from wax, today they are usually made out of plastic. The plastic models are mostly handmade from vinyl chloride and carefully sculpted to look like the actual dishes. The models are custom-tailored to restaurants and even common items such as ramen will be modified to match each establishment's food. During the molding process, the fake ingredients are often chopped up and combined in a manner similar to actual cooking.
The craftsmanship has been raised to an art form and plastic food has been exhibited at places such as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Regular competitions are held in making fake food dishes out of plastic and other materials. The food displays are usually called sampuru, derived from the English word sample.
The plastic food manufacturers fiercely guard their trade secrets as business is lucrative; the plastic food industry in Japan, by conservative estimates, has revenues of billions of yen per year. A single restaurant may order a complete menu of plastic items costing over a million yen.
In recent years, Japanese plastic food manufacturers have been targeting markets overseas, such as China.
Plastic food manufacturers
While some large companies exist, others are small shops with a single proprietor. They can be found in Kappabashi-dori, the food supply street in Tokyo. Factories can be found in Gujō, Gifu.
Iwasaki Be-I, the biggest plastic food manufacturer in Japan, founded by Takizo Iwasaki in 1932

The ultra wide angle! I wanted to step into ultra wide photography with my MFT set but the Panasonic 7-14mm was way too expensive which makes me concerned regarding the wide-open front element.
The Sigma 8-16 is wider (but smaller aperture) and half the price of the Panny! It makes me less (though still) concerned about the front element.
This lens does not take filter so I'll have to use my handiness to work out a way to use an ND filter on it. Stay tuned! :D
