“It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write"

Playing at Painting


By the way, this is the 'Ballad of the Hanged' painting I mentioned. I just saw that Line asked to see it, so voila. Sorry for the late response!! <3

Dreams

Hey!! So, this morning I had a fairly interesting dream. I was searching for where I parked my car--not out of the ordinary for me. I was searching through the woods and ended up passing an outdoor store found smack dab in the middle of nature. It was a familiar building, so I knew that I was headed in the right direction. However, the only other recollection I had that even hinted to the location of the car was that I had parked it in a parallel world, in another dimension. And, of course, I didn't know how to get back to that separate world, but I kept searching anyway. That was the extent of the dream. So, in honor of strange dreams, I thought I would post this lovely link because I've always enjoyed dream interpretation and analysis. Has anyone else had an interesting dream lately??

Casablanca, Morocco

Found this picture that one of my friends took in Morocco... The tower is the minaret of the Hassan II mosque in Casablanca. I have heard that the laser points in the direction of Mecca. Perhaps Veritas knows something more about the details...

I got to tour the inside, and it is incredible... there are no words. I was astounded by the size, beauty and the ideas in that structure.

Topographic Map Book

Dear Bloggies:

I thought I would share with you this project that I finished last week....
I have been working on this for a while now... it is a topographic map-book of Crater Lake (in Oregon), the deepest lake in the USA. The vertical scale is the same as the horizontal scale, making it a scale model of the lake.

Cover:
Cover sheets are a thick paper. I used a Japanese stab binding with hemp string.

Page 1: 


Tan page attached to the back cover flips out to the right... 

Page 3: 
 Contours cut out of the pages and painted w/ a blue enamel paint...



Page that flips to the right... can you read it??


More views of the rest of the book: 


Deepest point...


Back page explains more about the map... 



I'm pretty happy with it!
