This little area of the river was kind of unique looking. It had two completely different comps side by side together. I shot them both in this piece to display that and also shot each side individually. I'm not sure if there's anything that pulls the viewer into this specific scene but i still liked the varied differences in the river here. If you are tired of the Little ZigZag River I understand but i love this place and there's so much to view on it.

I found this in an antique shop in hamilton missouri. I gave $35 for it. It came with 1 left hand needle plate. it runs smooth and easy. works great on the treadle. It treadles effortlessly.
I just got done installing it in this treadle cab. that i got in Desmoines Ia this summer. I've been wanting a zig zag machine that looks old and this fits the ticket. I have another one but it is newer and was going to take a bit more modification to make it work in a treadle. this one didnt. This one looks a lot like the Nicchi BU zig zag machines I've seen.
Novaculite in the Paleozoic of Arkansas, USA.
Metamorphic rocks result from intense alteration of any previously existing rocks by heat and/or pressure and/or chemical change. This can happen as a result of regional metamorphism (large-scale tectonic events, such as continental collision or subduction), burial metamorphism (super-deep burial), contact metamorphism (by the heat & chemicals from nearby magma or lava), hydrothermal metamorphism (by superheated groundwater), shear metamorphism (in or near a fault zone), or shock metamorphism (by an impact event). Other categories include thermal metamorphism, kinetic metamorphism, and nuclear metamorphism. Many metamorphic rocks have a foliated texture, but some are crystalline or glassy.
Novaculite is a local name in Arkansas for metachert (= metamorphosed chert). The physical properties of chert and metachert are quite similar (in some cases, not distinctive at all) - hard, dense, relatively smooth surfaces, sharp broken edges, and conchoidal fracture. The metamorphism involves recrystallization of the chert's microscopic quartz grains.
Information given about Arkansas novaculite invariably mentions its use as a whetstone, which is a sharpening stone for knives. This is not a geologic definition. So, prima facie, “novaculite” shouldn't be a geologic term.
It turns out that metachert in Arkansas is distinctly, but variably, microporous. This is what makes novaculite different from ordinary chert. The texture, look, and feel of most novaculite is indeed different from chert. Some Arkansas novaculite is not microporous, and is exactly like non-metamorphosed chert. Most novaculites, however, are somewhat rough, even on cut surfaces. The roughness is a consequence of the microporosity. All that said, I’d still prefer to ditch the term “novaculite” and use “metachert” instead. A rose by any other name is still a rose.
Arkansas novaculites are composed of quartz grains that range from about 5 to 20 microns in size.

A refugee and participant in the "Runaway Scrape" poses during the San Jacinto Battle re-enactment near Lynchburg Texas.
The unsung heroes of the Texas Revolution may be the women who participated in the Runaway Scrape in winter and spring of 1836. They are hundreds of tales of heroism, self-reliance and self-sacrifice in the journals and family stories of those women settlers who lived in the Anglo-Texas regions of Mexico in 1836. At the end of March, 1836, Santa Ana felt supremely confident that the Texas resistance had been broken at Bexar (The Alamo) and Goliad. He believed the entire Texian army was destroyed and he decided to return to Mexico. Only passionate arguments from his officers dissuaded him. He then decided to do one final mopping up campaign to not only defeat the Anglo-Saxon presence in Texas but erase it. To do this he divided his thousands of soldiers into five divisions or columns and began a massive sweep toward the Sabine River and the boundary with the United States. This move would turn out to be a colossal mistake. The Mexican troops were ordered to burn every town, plantation, farm, dwelling in their path. Santa Ana intended to start a panic and drive the colonists across southern Texas and out of Mexican territory. And he was very successful. The entire population of Anglo Texas, frightened and horrified by the tales of Mexican atrocities, deserted the countryside ahead of the Mexican army. Most able-bodied Texas men including many boys joined Sam Houston's army. This left the woman children and old men to fend for themselves. In the space of several days the colony that Austin had built crumbled away.
Women found themselves driving wagons pulled by straining oxen, riding on horseback or fleeing with their families on foot with only their treasured possessions and what food they could take. These women would spend the next months herding their families eastward toward the Sabine. They need to travel quickly in order to keep up with Houston's army and its zigzagging path across the southern coastal plain of Texas. This retreat became known as the Runaway Scrape.
It was the rainy season is Texas. Rivers were up and the ferries were jammed. Women and their families struggled over muddy roads without their men, abandoning their homes and their labors of years with the smoke of Mexican destruction rising behind them. There was hunger, fever, sickness and babies were dying. Worse, looters began to appear. There were men who galloped into settlements far ahead of the invading army yelling “the Mexicans are coming” and then stole horses, silverware, housewares and anything of value when the panicking inhabitants fled. Desperately columns of women and children clogged the frightful roads trying to keep up with Houston's army. About 2 weeks before Houston made camp near Lynch’s Ferry on the plains of San Jacinto, Diluee Rose Harris, a Refugee, wrote that when she and her children reached the San Jacinto River at Lynch’s ferry on April 10,1836 over five thousand frantic people were swarming the area trying to cross the river. It was near the same ferry that on April 21, 1836 Houston defeated Santa Anna and his Army. The event culminated in the captured of Presidente Santa Anna himself and a Treaty that made Texas an independent Nation. Though the accomplishments of the men are still remembered, the brave women of Austin’s colony fought a different battle, sustaining each other and their families while praying for husbands and sons locked in a desperate war for survival. Let us not forget the sacrifices and courage of the brave Mothers and Daughters of the Texas Revolution.

Soo, this week was interesting aha, got booked for my first ever fashion photography shoot at 17 and they loved it, crazy.
More determined than ever to start focusing on fashion photography now. I loved shooting and working on these even though they might not be amazing.

Curves and Zigzags is the third work from an ongoing series of free-standing walls that straddle painting and sculpture. Comte’s practice embraces all media with equal ferocity and she uses this series to examine what happens when two-dimensional painting is superimposed on three dimensional structure. Unlike graffiti artists her walls are built specifically for the work they carry. In Curves and Zigzags, the painting starts with a stringent geometric composition that gradually morphs into a more organic wave like pattern reminiscent of Bridget Riley optical paintings or the gardens of Burle Marx. Playing on the constant exchange of dualities – nature and culture, order and chaos, geometric and organic form – Comte’s wall suggests a walk through the shifting sands of abstraction and on to a place where beauty and contemplation sit side by side.
I love Little Zigzag Falls, tucked away in the National Forest. It's quite accessible, but I don't think many people know about it. It looks really nice right now with all the snow melt coming down. A lot more water now than last September when I visited here. The sun came out RIGHT as I got here, making the shooting of this waterfall tricky.

This is a project I drew up and pieced earlier this year. I used half-square triangle paper for the boats and the zigzags. This quilt is headed for Sutter Memorial Hospital's Pediactrics Unit. Blogged here.
I love how it turned out! I used a black and white polka dot binding, did stippling in the aqua sections, and did three lines in each zig zag. One of my favorites!
