Great for everyday wear, these pretty little earrings are composed of round swarovski crystal beads, and antique silver pewter hearts. All other findings are sterling silver.
I like how these socks came out. There was some, um, interesting pooling with the yarn, but it doesn't really detract.
The whole time I was knitting these, I kept thinking they were coming out too big. I even had a dream about it. But every time I tried them on, they fit my wide foot perfectly! And in the end? They look, fit, and feel great!
Started somewhere around the beginning of April.
Frogged and restarted once.
Completed May 18, 2007.
Pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks (80 stitches)
Needles US0
Yarn from Fearless Fibers.
Catcetera did that one! The distictive T gives it away! Its in Carolinian Miniscule with Rustic Roman Capitals. Too bad my camera isn't the best but at least I got a shot that showed the scroll itself. Again I wish I could remember who received it.
I also like it when I know both the person who created said scroll (On the left) and the person who received said scroll.
someone printed out the the very long list... of Bush Administration lies, waste and scandals that have led to the deaths of civilians and soldiers.
Uploaded in memory of Gordon Gentle, a Scottish soldier killed in Iraq on 28 June 2004. He was 19 years old and he`d joined the Army just six months earlier at his local Job Centre in a deprived area of Glasgow city.
Today, Sunday 23rd December 2007, would have been Gordon's 23rd birthday.

This article from the Belfast Telegraph puts it well:
"The neo-con gang which manoeuvred the US into the war, with Blair dragging Britain along in their wake, are almost all gone. Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, Alberto Gonzalez, all gone, some in disgrace, none to their graves.
Dying is for people like Rose Gentle's son, for fresh-faced young men drawn disproportionately from the poor, flung ill-trained and ill-equipped into battle to take bullets for Bush and Blair. "
Wonderful set of slides of scrolls prepared for the Star Mangled Spanner event at Hammerhold in AS-XVI, early 1980's
Drawn bySteve Cooper and with calligrphy by a partner - these whimsical and humeorous scrolls are quite different from the more formal presentations seen today. The initials of the artists are with their SCA names.
This scroll is now in the Musee Guimet in Paris but is the kind of scroll which would have been found in the Mogao Caves
Day 15 I usually end up falling asleep doing this...phone in hand, scrolling through my Twitter & Instagram feeds until my eyes get tired.

The story is essentially about the ideas in the film "The Red Violin" but does mention briefly the interesting near-death of the Red Diamond violin.

Meine erste Foto-Einzelausstellung präsentiert im Café Berio, Berlin
Vernissage 31. Juli 2018 | Finissage 22. September 2018
In meiner ersten Foto-Einzelausstellung zeigte ich meine Berliner Portraits und einige meiner Vogel-Fotografien; daher der Titel der Ausstellung. In meinem Fotoprojekt wollte ich einmal weg von den sonst bewusst gewählten Orten, an denen man ein Fotoshooting durchführt. Ein Studio oder eine ausgewählte Location haben für die Menschen meist etwas sehr Unpersönliches. Ich wollte dorthin, wo es am authentischsten ist; an die Orte, an denen die Protagonisten (überwiegend Künstler) zu Hause und in ihrem Element sind: auf der Bühne, hinter der Bühne und vor, während und nach einem Auftritt bzw. Event. Ich möchte dem Betrachter Bilder zeigen, die er nicht unbedingt während einer Veranstaltung wahrnimmt und Außenstehende gefangen nehmen, als hätten sie es live miterlebt.
Über 70 Arbeiten präsentierte ich in der Ausstellung; darunter Portraits von Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper und vielen anderen.
Vögel leben auf allen Kontinenten. Sie sind flüchtige, scheue Tiere. Auf meinen Fotografien lassen sie aber eine unwahrscheinliche Nähe zu. Das eigentlich Fremde und in der Natur nicht Sichtbare habe ich in meinen Vogel-Portraits festgehalten.
Mein Motto: "Authentizität ist das Schlüsselwort, das hinter meiner Fotografie steht. Ich ziehe es vor, mehr die menschliche Note zu zeigen und weniger die Retusche."
Die meisten der Exponate sind in der queeren Community entstanden.

My first solo photo exhibition presented at Café Berio, Berlin
Opening July 31, 2018 | Closing September 22, 2018
In my first solo photo exhibition, I showed my Berlin portraits and some of my bird photographs; hence the title of the exhibition. In my photo project, I wanted to get away from the usual deliberately chosen locations for a photo shoot. There is usually something very impersonal about a studio or a selected location for people. I wanted to go where it is most authentic; to the places where the protagonists (mostly artists) are at home and in their element: on stage, backstage and before, during and after a performance or event. I want to show the viewer images that they don't necessarily see during an event and capture outsiders as if they had witnessed it live.
I presented over 70 works in the exhibition, including portraits of Romy Haag, Henry de Winter, Hanna Schygulla, Georgette Dee, Dieter Rita Scholl, Gloria Viagra, Ades Zabel, Frank Wilde, Gaby Tupper and many others.
Birds live on every continent. They are elusive, shy animals. In my photographs, however, they allow an improbable closeness. I have captured what is actually alien and invisible in nature in my bird portraits.
My motto: "Authenticity is the keyword that lies behind my photography. I prefer to show more the human touch and less the retouch."
Most of the exhibits were created in the queer community.

Ethiopic scroll dated to the 19th century. It contains a figurative depiction of the Trinity and an image of God or Jesus surrounded by the heads of Angels. The text itself is a collection of prayers against evil influences, such as the ‘evil eye’ and is written in Ge’ez script.
Mingana Collection, University of Birmingham, (Ethiopic 3)
I had trouble with tension with this one - the sample was in the hoop so I could photograph it! I did not stitch it in the hoop. I found that I also need to be consistent in the direction I pull the thread when making the knot.
Row 1: Pearl No 5 - across 6 threads and back 2 diagonally.
Row 2: Pearl No 5 - across 4 and back 2 diagonally
Row 3: Pearl No 5 - 3 and 2 diag.
Row 4: Pearl No 3 - 4 and 2 diag
Row 5: Ribbon floss - 6 and 2 diag
Row 6: Ribbon floss - 3 and 2 diag
Row 7: Some fat cotton - 5 and 2 diag
Row 8: Pearl No 5 - zig zag scroll - I tried this in some rayon and ribbon floss and it was not successful. To me it is barely successful in Pearl thread. If I want a zig zag line in the future, I will not use this stitch.
Row 9: Pearl No 5 - stacked rows
Row 10: Pearl No 3 - two rows back to back - across 5 and back 2 diag
Row 11: Some rayon thread - a row of two scroll units stacked
Row 12: Pearl No 3 - across 5 and a 2 thread vertical pick up .
Row 13: Pearl No 3 - alternating the vertical pick-up above and below the line.
Row 14: Pearl No 3 - an experiment inspired by this piece by Elizabeth of Quieter Moments. There are some French knots.
This is an artwork I did 18 years ago. It's watercolour on an entire checkout paper roll. I was fascinated (and still am) by drawing as pure creative output and spent a month or so painting this pretty much random abstraction. I had it set up so that viewers could wind it by hand from one reel to another, this reel is all that's left. I've been meaning to scan it all in and make a flash based carousel but working out just how to scan it easily is proving difficult.
