Foregrounding Métis history and aesthetic practices, this painting includes around150,000 to 250,000 bead-like dots and blends Belcourt’s knowledge of beadwork traditions with her expertise in medicinal plants. Various plants are represented, as well as insects, raindrops, dew and birds. The patterns have been adapted from nature, with several inspired by traditional Métis floral beadwork. A visual ode to water, the work recognizes the life that water brings to everything and everyone.
Work continues on The Big Game Hunter's Library. My sister (Flickr member Heart92262) gave me the idea to try out this pour-on finish for the floors, talk about a mile deep shine ! Don't know about you, but I LOVE It. Can't wait to try it out on some other projects down the line.

Das Ultra Large Container Vessel (ULCV) "CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt" erreicht soeben aus Hamburg kommend das RWG Rotterdam World Gate im Hafen Maasvlakte II.
Die gesamte Crew ist im Einsatz. Vom Offizier bis zum Öler befinden sich alle Männer in Action. Die Leinen werden vorbereitet, die Winden frei gegeben, die Wurflinen und Taue zum Festmacherboot herabgelassen. Dieses bringt die Leinen an Land, wo es die Festmacher mit einem Fahrzeug und einer Winde an den Kai ziehen und diese über die Poller legen. Anschliessend werden die Leinen gespannt. So ein Geräusch hatte ich noch nie gehört. Es ging durch Mark und Bein wie laut die Leinen quietschten und kreischten, solche eine Spannung wird darauf gegeben.
I was recently reading an article/interview with Milton Glaser, who is one of America’s most prominent graphic designers, probably best known for the I heart NY logo. In the interview he was asked what was the best advice he could give his students, and he replied: “do good work”. I think this simple and fundamental advice is invaluable. In the end, if you do good work everything will fall in to place.
Part of the oil rig I work on reflected in a puddle. 8 photos stitched together to give an unusual panorama, Quite like it though.

More in the Jezblog 'my own shoes' series ............. this time Jez is modeling heavy duty metal toe work boots on a visit to a mine ......... this stuff will be all the rage in the Fall shows ........
I am wearing a ton of mega safety gear the mine operator insists on........ these guys were mega serious on safety........ the training in using the respirator was very thorough......... alarming and reassuring all at once........
In the picture...... I am in the 'man trip'....... a mixture between a cage and a tiny train carriage that takes you the bumpy 5 miles to the coal face.....
I must sleep mines are so tiring........... I always come away from an underground visit to a mine with renewed respect and liking for miners.......... not sure I could do this everyday....... but more tomorrow.......
Cheers Jez XXXXXXX
PS...... Sorry to anyone attempting to speak to me on the phone...... the cell signal is pretty poor in West Virginia anyway...... and by the time you are down the mines....... hehehe........ even Apple technology can't deal with that yet :-))
