Sumi-e ink on rice paper. A rolled up scroll found tucked away into a corner of my studio. I thought to throw it but tried a photo first. It's pretty abstract. I guess you can make anything you want out of it.
And found my Holiday photo! I didn’t post it! Shocked and impressed at the same time! I mean I think it’s one of my best photos, but it’s before I started ‘water marking’ again.

The Lancia Trevi was launched at the 1980 Turin Motorshow and for the UK at the 1980 Birmingham Motor Show. At first glance the car appears a logical progression of the Beta, with a spacious traditional Saloon body, and on the same 100 inch floorpan, and designed, like the Beta by Sergio Camuffo
The Trevi was available initially with two engines, a 1600 and 2000, both fitted with Weber or Solex carburetors. In the UK automatic transmission was optional only on the larger engined cars. In 1981 Bosch electronic ignition was made available on the 2000IE models. This allowed the engine to produce 122 bhp at 6,400 rpm
The Trevi Volumex was the last version of the trevi to appear, introduced at the 1982 Turin Motorshow. and designed to improve performance without affecting fuel economy. Fitted with a twin scroll Roots-type supercharger (and carburettors, rather than the expected fuel injection), this increased output to 135 PS. This development meant the Trevi was the first car fitted with a mechanically-driven supercharger in nearly five decades. It had revised front seats, a matt-black chin spoiler and plusher trim. The Volumex was roundly praised but was not exported to the UK or Northern Ireland.
Many thanks for a fantabulous

Am 05. Juli 2008 wurde Madame Tussauds am historischen Standort ‚Unter den Linden‘ eröffnet, nur wenige Meter entfernt vom Brandenburger Tor. Madame Tussauds Berlin bietet einen Mix aus Interaktivität, Bezug zur Region und Geschichte zum Anfassen. Außerdem gibt es einen „Hinter den Kulissen“-Bereich, in dem gezeigt wird, wie aufwendig es ist, eine Wachsfigur zu formen – von privaten Treffen mit Prominenten zur genauen Körperabmessung, dem sogenannten „Sitting“, bis hin zum finalen Garderoben-Check.
Bis heute wächst Madame Tussauds stetig und verknüpft seine Tradition und Geschichte mit dem Glanz internationaler Stars des 21. Jahrhunderts. Mittlerweile verfügt das Unternehmen über mehr als 20 Standorte weltweit, darunter London, New York, Las Vegas, Shanghai, Washington DC, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Wien, LA und Amsterdam. Neben den klassischen Wachsfiguren, die kontinuierlich um angesagte Promis und wichtige Personen ergänzt werden, können sich Besucher in vielen interaktiven Bereichen vergnügen. Sie können zusammen Teil eines Tatort-Ermittler-Teams werden, im Fashion-Bereich zum Model werden oder im Star Wars-Bereich in die Welt des Films eintauchen.
Die Wachsfiguren-Herstellung im Madame Tussauds dauert etwa drei bis sechs Monate und hat einen Gesamtwert von ca. 200.000 Euro. Der Prozess umfasst viele Schritte und benötigt ein großes, hoch qualifiziertes Team.

Neuigkeiten, Promi-Party, STAR WARS, Musik, TV-Stars, Sportstars, Filmhelden, Politik, historische Persönlichkeiten, kulturelle Persönlichkeiten, Diven der Filmgeschichte

Madame Tussauds, Berlin
On July 5, 2008, Madame Tussauds opened at the historic location 'Unter den Linden', just a few meters away from the Brandenburg Gate. Madame Tussauds Berlin offers a mix of interactivity, reference to the region and history you can touch. There is also a "behind the scenes" area, which shows the time and effort that goes into creating a wax figure - from private meetings with celebrities for precise body measurements, known as "sitting", to the final wardrobe check.
To this day, Madame Tussauds continues to grow and combines its tradition and history with the glamor of international stars of the 21st century. The company now has more than 20 locations worldwide, including London, New York, Las Vegas, Shanghai, Washington DC, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Vienna, LA and Amsterdam. In addition to the classic wax figures, which are constantly being supplemented with hip celebrities and important people, visitors can enjoy themselves in many interactive areas. They can become part of a crime scene investigator team, become a model in the fashion area or immerse themselves in the world of film in the Star Wars area.
The production of the wax figures at Madame Tussauds takes around three to six months and has a total value of around 200,000 euros. The process involves many steps and requires a large, highly skilled team.
Topics:
News, celebrity party, STAR WARS, music, TV stars, sports stars, movie heroes, politics, historical personalities, cultural personalities, divas of movie history

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem houses the Dead Sea Scrolls. They were discovered between 1947 and 1979 in 11 caves near the Dead Sea. The scrolls are of great historical significance, because it is the only surviving copy of Biblical documents made before 100 AD. More info or View LARGE

My Scroll Right page is from Johanna's Christmas, A Festive Coloring Book by Johanna Basford, colored with Prismacolor Premier Soft Core Colored Pencils, Tombow Dual Brush Pens, Uni Posca pens and blended with light colored pencils.
Carrie and Steve found a beautiful scrollwork pattern in his parent's hometown in Germany and wanted to somehow incorporate it into the wedding cake decoration. They also wanted to bring in the wine theme as the ceremony/reception was held at a winery, and they all loved marzipan, and wanted something spectacular but not too untraditional ~ no problem!! =)
White chocoalate ganache glaze is heavily adorned with intricate piped dark chocolate scrolling and handmade marzipan grape clusters in burgandy, purple and green.
Carrie went back and forth on dark chocolate or white chocolate icing (see virtual cake post www.flickr.com/photos/glassslippergourmet/2431882832/ ) and I think she made the right decision for sure ~ dramatic and elegant!

The Dead Sea scrolls consist of roughly 900 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered between 1956 and 1979 in eleven caves in and around the Wadi Qumran. The texts are of great religious and historical significance, as they include practically the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 AD.

Ok, this encounter takes a bit of explaining. I saw him briefly over a week ago. He was busking in downtown Toronto and I was hurrying to class. It was such an unusual sight tha I asked him if I could grab a photo and he gave the ok. It was a somewhat cluttered photo and I wanted to do better but he was in the midst of performing and I was running late for class. I also suspected this young man might have an interesting story to tell and I hoped to catch him on my way home to explain my project and find out more about him. It was not to be. He was gone when my class finished. Meanwhile, I googled his website and discovered that my intuition about an interesting story was correct. His background was beyond amazing. I was even more motivated to meet him again and get a better photo along with a chance to speak with him. The next couple of times I looked for him downtown he wasn’t there. Today, on my third attempt to complete the encounter, there he was. Meet Takahito from Japan – also known as Duckman.
What I had learned from Takahto’s website that impressed me so much was his triumph over adversity and his positive spirit which I felt was a message that belonged in the Human Family project for its power to inspire. His story involves growing up in a single parent family with a mentally ill mother. He lost his two siblings at an early age and the unexpected loss of his onlyh friend. He suffered both emotional and physical abuse from mother and was removed from the home to live in an institution. He discovered the power of a smile to make others happy and adopted a false smile because it brought positive responses from others, something which in turn brought him pleasure. You can read Takahito’s version of this story on his website at www.tk-entertainer.com if you scroll to the bottom of the page. I was left with two feelings after finding out about Takahito. First, I was shocked that anyone would grow up in such disadvantaged circumstances. Second, I was filled with admiration that he found his own way to overcome such extreme adversity and not only survive, but thrive – through entertaining and bringing pleasure to others.
Today was my lucky day because when I exited the subway station downtown, I could hear the sound of Takahito’s plastic drumset. I had my camera ready and caught him between acts. I greeted him by name, reminded him that we had semi-met a week ago, and that after reading his website I was greatly impressed by his story and by his personal strength and positive energy. He shook my hand with his yellow-gloved duck hand and said “Thank you for reading it.” I quickly explained my Human Family project and said I had not had time to tell him about it last week, but would he participate? He said he would be glad to. I managed a couple of different poses, chosen by Takahito, and asked him where he got the strength to overcome his difficult childhood. He said “Making other people happy made me happy.” I asked what message or piece of advice he would like to share and he said “Have a bigger cup.” When I asked what he meant he said “It’s hard for me to explain.” I was concerned that our conversation was distracting him from performing for the lunch-hour crowd which is probably when he makes the most income. I did learn that he is in Canada on a 6 month visa so perhaps I will meet this remarkable young man again. I think we all have much to learn from his inspiring story. We exchanged contact information and he was delighted when I made my contribution to his fund and thanked me warmly.
This is my 549th submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.

Follow-up:
Takahito was kind enough to write me an email explaining the meaning of his message “Get a bigger cup. It was so nice that I quote it in full.
"'Get a bigger cup'
I think everyone has a cup in their hearts. that can hold stress or sadness.
When I was a kid, the cup was really small. I cried a lot. I was stressed a lot.
then When I got over my past, I've got the biggest cup.
when the cup is full which means that you cannot do anything properly.
All I'm trying to do is absorbing the spilling water from people's cups^^
because my cup is the biggest. And if you can see the way of thinking that you have a cup, It would help people to be optimistic like me."
