The Day the Genealogy Serendipity Angels Smiled!
by Sherry Stocking Kline, October 10, 2009
My Number One favorite all-time Genealogy Experience was one of those "ahhh moments" when Serendipity and the Angels smiled on us.
It was July of 2005, and my husband and I were leaving soon to visit our son in Illinois, and we were taking my mom who was 93 at the time, to Barren County, Kentucky for a day or two and try to locate my Mom's dad's childhood home.
I did some research before I left. I re-checked on library hours, wrote down addresses, packed up a notebook (and laptop), and called the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center in Glasgow, Kentucky to talk to the wonderfully helpful woman I had spoken with on a previous occasion.
I nearly hung up the phone…
I nearly hung up the phone when I learned that the woman who had been so warm and friendly before was not working.
That would have been a mistake.
I sighed to myself, decided to take a chance, re-state my facts and share my story with the woman who had answered the phone.
"I'm looking for information," I said, "about my great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Willis Washington Jones and his wife, Martha Ellen Smith and her parents, Charles and Virginia Hawley Smith."
There Was Dead Silence…
There was dead silence for at least three heartbeats.
And then she said (and here I still get goosebumps) "Charles and Virginia Hawley Smith are my great-great grandparents, too."
"Oh. My. Gosh." I thought.
"Hello, cousin!" was my astonished reply. The genealogical angels had not deserted me; they had given me a wonderful gift!
My brand-new cousin's name was Nancy Bertram Bush, she was 'into' genealogy, and she invited us to give her a call when we got to Glasgow.
A couple of weeks later, we were in Glasgow. I stopped at the courthouse, looked up some land records, and learned more about my great-great grandfather Smith's land holdings.
When we arrived at the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center, I gave Nancy another call and we were in luck, she was home.
Nancy Had a Gift for Mother…
She hurried over to the Center to meet us, (and a nicer new cousin I can't imagine meeting). She brought along a treasure, a photograph of my mother's grandparents (complete with the names) that had been mailed back to the family from Kansas and presented it to my mom.
Mom had never seen photographs of her grandparents and when we brought the photograph home, we were able to identify Willis and his wife Martha in two other photographs that we had.
Nancy offered to take us around Barren County with her husband to try to locate the former home of Willis and Martha Ellen. We went up hill and down dale, we stopped at one family farmstead that had Smith family buried there, and we tramped through tall grass to record names and take photographs, but this was not our destination.
Our next stop proved to be the home of Charles and Virginia Hawley Smith, and we were able to visit with the family and see the land and outbuildings, some of which might have actually been standing during Charles & Virginia's time.
The Family Cemetery Had Been Returned to Farmland…
Thanks to researching cemetery books we already knew that their family cemetery had been returned to farm land, which was disappointing.
Next we stopped at the Caney Fork Baptist Church and cemetery and walked through the cemetery and paid our respects to cousins, great-aunts and great-uncles.
When we watched my mother get out of the car and in her words "stand on the land her father had played on as a child" and look around and see "where he came from," it was a meaningful moment for us all.
We were grateful we were able to help her do this.
Thank You, Cousin, Nancy…
It was with deep sadness that we received word about two years ago that our new-found cousin, Nancy Bertram Bush, had suffered a heart attack and passed away.
Thank you for a wonderful Genealogical Moment in Time, cousin Nancy.

Beautiful story. Another part of why we do this.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring story. I also have family history in Barren County, Kentucky! My kith 'n kin from that area include :: GILL :: HENRY :: KIRTLEY :: OWEN :: ROBERTS :: ET AL.
[…] The Day the Genealogy Serendipity Angels Smiled… […]
I want to "THANK YOU" for the very kind words written about your new cousin in Barren County, Nancy Bertram Bush, my mother. I came across your web site and was so moved by your article. She would have been so pleased!!! I guess I am now your new-found cousin!!
Hello Kay!
I am a cousin of Laurie Bush (of California) and the g-grandson of Joseph Black Bush. I understand Nancy Bertram was a cousin of mine and thus you are too!
I'd like to get in touch with you. Can you drop me an email?
Nancy Bertram Bush was a cousin of mine – I am interested in locating some of her living offspring – and the site of the Bush / Barlow cemetery. I understand it is in "rough" condition – does anyone know the location and possibly the current owners of the property?
Joseph Black Bush (later of Calera, Oklahoma) was my g-grandfather.

The past 20 years have seen significant progress towards gender ...
ERAFP: Winner of the 7th edition of the Responsible Investor Award
Mirova and Amadeis joined up for the seventh consecutive year, in cooperation with Les Echos and LHForum, to present the Responsible Investor Award. This prize aims to reward institutional investors who have illustrated themselves as responsible investors through their actions in the last twelve months.
The jury, chaired by PlaNet Finance President Jacques Attali and comprised of top names in the Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and sustainable development fields, presented the 2014 Responsible Investor Award to ERAFP (Etablissement de Retraite Additionnelle de la Fonction Publique), the French public service additional pension scheme.
ERAFP is a mandatory pension fund for France's 4.5 million civil servants. With more than €20 billion in assets under management*, ERAFP opted for a fully responsible investment policy from its creation in 2005:
- an SRI approach consisting notably in an SRI Charter with rating guides for each asset class in which ERAFP invests;
- guidelines on shareholder engagement, including a voting policy at general meetings.
With this award, Amadeis and Mirova are asserting their convictions and commitment in terms of responsible investment.
The other finalists, AG2R La Mondiale and Axa, who were already nominated last year, as well as Ircantec, also presented ambitious and innovative approaches concerning substantial amounts, which gave rise to extensive exchanges between the jury members.
For further information, please refer to the website: www.leprixinvestisseurresponsable.com

EUGENE, Ore. - Sophomore Curtis Beach is used to blowing away the field in the 1,500 meters, the final event of the decathlon. However, at the 2012 United States Olympic Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., he exemplified the notion that sometimes sport goes beyond points scored. Realizing that he was out of the running for Olympic qualification, Beach put his own competition aside and showed respect for his competitor by allowing the overall winner and new world record holder, Ashton Eaton, the first place finish in the final event.
"Decathletes are unique in their bond and respect for one another which was shown in Curtis' performance during the 1,500," Director of Track and Field Norm Ogilvie commented.
Beach finished the overall competition in 11th place with a total of 7,109, which included no mark in the javelin due to an elbow injury. During the grueling competition, the Albuquerque, N.M., native earned a personal best mark in the discus throw with a throw of 129-4 (39.44) and season best performances in the 100 and shot put.
"The experience he gained is incredible and he will be able to draw on it in the future," Associate Head Coach Shawn Wilbourn commented as reflected over the two days. "Obviously we are disappointed in his performance overall. There was an opportunity to advance but he wasn't able to capitalize on it."
At the end of day one, Beach sat in seventh place with a total of 4,004 points. His highest finish of the day, and overall competition, occurred when he placed second in the 400 with a time of 47.82. Beach also placed fifth in the long jump with a mark of 24-4.25 (7.42) and sixth in the 100 by crossing the line in 10.88.
On day two, Beach started with a seventh place finish in the 110 hurdles by crossing the line in a time of 14.79. His lowest moment of the two-day competition came when he injured himself during the javelin throw and finished the event without a mark.
New world record holder, Ashton Eaton finished the ten-event competition in first place with 9,039 points and Trey Hardee finished in second with 8,383 points. The duo qualified for the 2012 London Olympics scheduled for late July.
The prestigious competition closed out a very successful winter and spring season for Beach who was crowned the NCAA indoor heptathlon champion, the ACC indoor heptathlon champion, the ACC outdoor decathlon runner-up and earned NCAA outdoor track and field All-America honors in both the long jump and 800.
Sophomore high jumper Tanner Anderson also participated in his first Olympic Trials in the men's high where he finished in 22nd place with a mark of 6-10.75 (2.10) to close out his spring season.

Kiss to Appear on Animal Planet's 'Tanked'
Gene Simmons may like to boast that he's never been drunk or high in his life, but he's about to get 'Tanked.' Kiss will appear on the next episode of 'Tanked,' a show on the Animal Planet cable channel. The program will center on the owners of the Las Vegas-based Acrylic Tank Manufacturing company as they build a giant Kiss-themed aquarium for the band's Monster Mini Golf course in Vegas.
According to the band's website, the aquarium constructed by Wayde King and Brett Raymer, the stars of 'Tanked,' is designed to resemble a Kiss concert, albeit one performed by fish, complete with a replica of the Kiss stage setup (with the giant logo) and a light show. Miniature Marshall amplifiers surround the tank.
"We worked closely with the "Tanked" crew to design a Tanked where fish could ROCK, said Christina Vitagliano, the founder of Kiss by Monster Mini Golf. "We do not have a fish tank…we have a Kiss-tank!"
Kiss by Monster Mini Golf opened in March to much fanfare and much exposure (perhaps too much recently). The indoor course features the Rock 'n Roll All Nite Cafe and the Hotter Than Hell Wedding Chapel.
The episode will air Saturday (June 9) at 9:00PM Eastern and Pacific.

This is the front cover of Kiersten's book which debuts August 31, 2010.
Isn't it just amazing?
It's so beautiful and gorgeous.
As you scroll down you will see a few closeups of the quilt I designed for Kiersten's Contest. I know a little about the book and my daughter filled in a few gaps for me.
The main character's name is Evie and she loves her pink boots and her Zebra print wrap dress. So, I had to recreate the boots for her along with putting the book cover in a picture frame. I also used zebra print here and there throughout the quilt.
In the book she works for IPCA and carries a pink taser that she calls "Tasey" so I put "i heart Tasey" in one of the hearts.
There are black hearts with pink yoyo's and black buttons in each corner of the quilt.

The maximum error is greater than even the worst case resonator error.
Is it greater than double the worst case resonator error?
I've stayed away from resonators and internal RC oscillators to avoid errors, since some of my stuff operates at temperature extremes (>100F in a vehicle in the Alabama summer, down to -70C in a high altitude balloon payload).
In my opinion, a crystal is only useful if you want to have an extremely accurate real-time clock. A resonator is more than adequate for most general timing purposes as its accuracy is typically something like 0.2 - 0.5%.- Ben
70c is well beyond the operating range of most electronics, so I have no real comment on that. -40c is the lowest spec I see for both crystals and resonators.
Don't most high-alt balloons include thermal insulation or even heating?

Voltage PB slick stuff
I needed some lube for my matrix, so I decided to try PBN's very own voltagePB. They sell 4 types of lube, each having slighly different properties, but generally the same, with some benefits to some colors I assume. It's rather cheap, being the reason I chose to try it.
I pm'ed the guy at PBN, no answer, so I followed the link to the website in the PBN thread and ordered there, I was looking for the dark slime, one of 2 suggested over the other 2 to be used on matrixes. I noticed the website did not contain any specific order place for which type, so in the paypal notes I typed "please include Dark Slime". A little shifty, but it was only 10 bucks and he had some great feedback.
It came USPS, in a 3oz tub which was sealed with plastic over wrap. I got nervous because the pictures suggest that the lids are color coded to the "color" lube, and mine should have been a black lid, but it was yellow, the one that is considered generic lube (works on all guns equally well, no swell). I'm still not sure, since the color was a yellowish brown that looked similar to both yellow and slime. Frankly its slightly disappointing but since the lube works equally as well on matrixes (red is the only sweller) according to Voltage, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle, so I unwrapped it and opened the jar. Now, I had read a rare review here and there that this lube "smells bad" so I was cautious not to inhale, especially with the massive "DO NOT INGEST" label, but nothing could have prepared me for this nauseating smell. I opened the jar and BOOM a wall of synthetic smell which has a rather familiar yet indescribable odor. I would say it was definitely 0% organic smell, the closest thing I can think of is this old dandruff shampoo, "T-Gel" mixed with various rubber-like smells, maybe Teflon or something similar to WD-40. All of that combined x100 = the smell of this. I would say if you could turn pure odor into a solid, this could be it. Anyway, to the real review.
Being careful not to get any of this vile mystery substance, which was plaguing my nostrils with constant bombardment, on my fingers, I used a popsicle stick to apply the lube to the bolt and chamber of my PMR. The lube appeared rather thick, but when I pulled the newly infected wooden shaft of death from this pool of pungent odorous mixture, it seemed to be much thinner, and smoother. While applying it to the bolt I noticed that it flowed easily and spread smoothly, but when I moved big blobs of it around, it seemed to keep a fine layer in the original spot. I apparently decided to lube the bolt wrong, by doing the front while it's outside of the bolt housing because when I pushed it through the front housing, a ton of lube came out through the air-in bolt resting ports... but despite being squeegeed by a tight sealing o-ring, It still stayed in place. So I cleaned up the excess and made sure some lube got into the breach on the forward portion of the bolt, and then I lubed the rear section, and the bolt housing. It all fit together smoothly and while putting the assembly in, I felt less resistance compared to when I used (ran out of ) an equivalent amount of my of dye slick lube. I screwed the back cap of my PMR in, and then proceeded to pull my shirt down from the position over my nose, where I had previously affixed it.
So far, so good, I'll get more review after I chrono and after I shoot some air to see how much stays where it should.
Re: Voltage PB slick stuff
Follow up: It still smells in this room. My stomach hurts either from the burrito I ate earlier combined with my current food lust or the hate explosion of nausea from this lube.
Re: Voltage PB slick stuff
Seems like it wouldn't be worth the trouble... I prefer being able to touch my lube and spread it with a finger, and not be killed by it. Besides dow33 is $10 for a 5oz. tube (or is a 10 oz?). If its too thick, I mix it with a bit of goldcup, and it turns out perfect.

Re: Voltage PB slick stuff
UPDATE! I just played and this stuff totally screwed up my rail. It was leaking like a mother so I tore it down, cleaned it out and put more of the lube on after getting the old stuff off. Bam, it leaks more. So finally i scrape this crap off, toss some good old dow 33 and my PMR seals up instantly and fires fine.
Re: Voltage PB slick stuff
Wow, thanks for the update, I was considering buy this stuff.
It always seems impossible until its done.

Re: Voltage PB slick stuff
-She didn't respond to my private message
-I ordered the Lube and designated which kind in the paypal note since the site didn't have a place to indicate what kind.
-I received the wrong kind
-I almost passed out from the smell
-It didn't seal any air at all
-I got a metaphoric headache from the trouble it caused me along with an actual headache from the smell
overall I can't say I give it points for anything besides being cheap. I threw it away at the field. 1/10

INDIANAPOLIS - The first NCAA Division II Regional Rankings were released in men's tennis this week, and the Georgia College & State University men's squad (12-1, 6-0 PBC) were chosen first, the highest ranking in head coach Steve Barsby's nine seasons.
The rankings are used to choose the teams that make the NCAA Tournament in May. The Southeast Region-where the Bobcats lead-will send 12 teams to the tourney. The three conference championship tournament winners receive bids, leaving nine at-large selections chosen from this poll.
Georgia College has a 12-1 record, but a whopping 10-0 mark against region opponents. The Bobcats have won 10 matches in a row, including a 5-4 victory over then-No. 1 and defending National Champion Armstrong Atlantic State University Feb. 24.
The Bobcats are led by two-time All-American Erick Siqueira (Sao Paulo, Brazil) who has a 6-4 mark at first singles. He and Justin Pickham (Armidale, Australia) are one of the top doubles squads in the nation, posting a 9-1 mark. Senior Francis Yoshimoto (Sao Paulo, Brazil) owns an impressive 12-1 singles mark in the third slot, having won his last 10.
The Bobcats are back in action today, April 3 at 2 p.m. against #5 Hawaii Pacific University.

More consequences of sending the Oval Office Churchill bust back to the Brits (not to mention the style of elite education Obama absorbed at Columbia and Harvard): Obama is vindicating one of Churchill's great lines about the futility of trade protectionism. Since I'm on the road I can't lay my hands on the exact quote, but it goes something like: Thinking you can achieve prosperity through protection is like thinking you can stand in a bucket and lift yourself up by the handle. Lo and behold, the following photo that captures Obama's analogous economic philosophy in just those terms:
(Hat tip: the Looking Spoon, which has lots of wonderful visual smackdowns like this on the site.)
Meanwhile, I used the chart below of historic income tax rates stretching back to 1914 with my Ashland University class the other day, in part to conclude with one obvious point–the utter ridiculousness of Obama's position that ending the Bush tax cuts and returning to Clinton-era rates is the key to solving the budget deficit. To be sure, many conservatives overstate the general economic harm a return to Clinton rates might bring (the new capital gains, dividend, and Obamacare tax rates are another matter), but I think the peaks of this chart also show where the Left's real ambitions are as far as tax rates are concerned. In fact, Paul Krugman has practically wet himself looking back with nostalgia at the 1950s-era 90 percent top marginal rates.

Something has changed at Hussein Chalayan. Maybe it's the multiple retrospectives being staged to honour his career: the latest at Paris' prestigious Musée des Arts Décoratifs kicks off in July (nothing like a good root through the best bits of their archives to get a designer thinking how really great they are).
Maybe its the switch from the high-voltage but equally high-pressure runway show over to intimate showroom appointments and skilfully directed video for the past two collections. Or maybe Chalayan's just in a good place right now. Whatever the reasoning, his past two collections have distinctly upped the ante, taking Chalayan to a new plain where commerce and creativity are perfect bedfellows. It's gratifying to see.
Chalayan's Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is titled Kaikoku. His last was Sakoku. See the theme? Well, actually, they're more than just unpronounceable for Westerners, they're entirely interrelated. The first explored the period where Japanese society closed itself off from the world for almost four hundred years, this season was about Japan opening to Western influence, and absorbing it wholeheartedly. Nowhere, ironically, has this been seen more prominently than in fashion, as many a formerly-moribund Paris house discovered in the 1980s.
Chalayan, of course, examined it more cerebrally, exploring the idea of East meeting West. That's a fashion cliche if ever there was one, but Chalayan brought new life to the equation. Check, for instance, his marriage of the draped volume of the kimono with the rigours of Western tailoring in intriguing felt tunics folded around and away from the body. Those had an air of Balenciaga to the formality and structure in their volume - perfectly dovetailed into one of next season's key themes then. It was picked up in the outerwear, the stand-out success story of this collection.
Chalayan pinched a 'Station Pocket' detail from his archives, and offering deep tunnels to encase the arms and emphasise a strong egg-like shape, they looked wonderful, as did rounded shoulders on coats and blazers. Chalayan has always been adept at picking up on the mood of the times and reengineering them to his own devices, and these were virtuoso.
As for Chalayan's remote-controlled metal frock dress that rolled around by itself and then pinged a few thousand Swarovski-crystal pollen buds off at the touch of a button? Well, there was a heavyweight intellectual justification - it was about floating, freedom, yadda yadda. In actual fact it was about the exuberance and excitement of a dress exploding into unexpected motion before your very eyes. Chalayan is nothing if not a showman - even in the showroom.

Hi Everyone,I'm not in law school yet, but I'm seriously considering it. I've been doing a lot of reading about different schools, job prospects, etc, and I just read something kind of scary. Just wondering what current law students think.Below is a post someone made in reaction to the article titled "Law School Is For Everyone" on the USNews site. This guy says that many people at his law school(which he says is ranked in the 50's) study in excess of 80 hours per week.I realize the number of hours will vary quite a bit depending on the individual - reading speed, dedication, study habits, etc, but just curious how much time all of you are putting in.One other question. I'm sure this varies a bit too, depending on the course load and year of school, but what is the typical number of pages you have to read per night or per week?Thanks in advance.ptoomeyHere's the post:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I scored a 176 on the LSAT and have not been able to turn a single A. Yes you read that right. Law school is something like what legal practice is. A time draining, balls to the wall death match. You need to understand that your grade stands alone over the bodies of your fellow students. Every law student thinks he/she understands this until one month before finals. You need to understand that 'the lottery' of law school favors those who are most willing to sacrifice--time, family, friends and money. I thought coming in to a school ranked around the 50's with a 176 on the LSAT and a great undergraduate experience in a writing intensive major I would be able to relax a little more than my fellow students and still sail to the front as usual. Wrong! I didn't expect to have fellow students spending 80+ hours studying per week from day one. Look! I am not exaggerating. There are more than a handful of students who spend more than 80 hours a week studying. Brains is only one part of the equation. The other part is time. Then those same people end up practicing law and being your future boss. The same person who sacrificed quite literally everything in life to be the boss at your target firm will expect no less from you. If you don't believe me, just ask around. Big firms are quite open that your job is first and anything else is only incidental. Do you want to spend $120,000 to be placed in a death match with dozens of other people as smart as you are? The 'winners' will be those who prioritize everything after the law.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Id say i put in around 70 per week during finals, but thats mostly because I don't start studying until the last week of the semester and have to learn everything from the beginning. I don't recommend this method, but it works fine for me because I generally take a couple writing classes and only have 2-3 exams.
I put in about 50-60 hours throughout the term (including class time), but I was doing all of my classwork, outlining, and going through supplements at the same time. Since I followed this method continuously, my workload didn't amp up a ton during finals and I was able to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night during crunch time. I did take weekends off completely until the last month before finals, though. It's really about how you organize your schedule and how efficient your study time is. I've seen others spend 80 hours a week "studying," which really means about 50 studying or in class and 30 on Facebook and G-Chat. That's an easy way to burn out and not learn the material even though a lot of time is being put into school.
During my first semester, I put in about 6-8 hours a day studying outside of class, 6 days per week. I took Friday nights off to work. On weekends, I put in 12 hour days preparing for classes, writing memos for my legal writing class, and outlining courses. I won't say this is average, though. I probably worked much harder than I needed to. On average, though, even an efficient student studies for 4-5 hours a night outside of class. That is also assuming you take on no extra curricular activities and you've gotten good at reading and briefing cases. It's quite a bit of work. Let's put it this way, if you find time to save anywhere, you will want to spend it doing hypotheticals and problems to prepare for finals. You can NEVER do enough hypos and practice exams!

Cornerback Justin Bethel (28) breaks to wide receiver Ted Ginn on a play during the Cardinals' minicamp.
The offseason was nearing its end and the Cardinals were in the middle of minicamp when Bruce Arians paid cornerback Justin Bethel an impressive compliment.
"He can be our best," said Arians, not flinching once considering he has Patrick Peterson in his locker room.
And to that, not surprisingly, Bethel smiled.
"That's pretty awesome," Bethel said, although it wasn't as if it hadn't ever crossed his mind. "Every cornerback is always thinking they can be the best."
It's the natural next step. Bethel, headed into his third season with the Cardinals, has already established himself as a Pro Bowl
special teams player and arguably the best special teamer in the league. Those skills were a big reason why the Cards grabbed him in the sixth round in 2012 out of tiny Presbyterian College.
Bethel wants more though. So do the Cardinals.
"He's got all the skill level to be as good as there is, including Patrick," Arians said. "This kid has an unbelievable skill set."
It helped that when Arians and his coaches arrived last year, they looked at video of Bethel and decided he was going to be a full-time cornerback. In Bethel's rookie season, then-defensive coordinator Ray Horton used him all over the secondary after Bethel was drafted as a safety. It didn't work out that well.
"I was playing nickel, corner, safety, and it was overload," Bethel said. "There was no way I was going to do it. I couldn't soak it all in, especially coming from that small school. Last year, once I realized I was just playing corner, I dedicated everything to getting my speed down, working on my hips, working on technique. I am happy I'm in a position to go out and do something. I don't take it for granted."
This offseason, Arians talked often about how Bethel was in positions to get to the ball, something that should only keep improving over time. The coach also believes Bethel's Pro Bowl selection did more than just stamp Bethel's résumé. He thinks it gave Bethel a "swagger."
That notion made Bethel chuckle.
"Maybe. I don't know," Bethel said. "Everybody is always bugging me, 'Mr. Pro Bowl.' I'm the same guy. Laughing, smiling. Coach sees me and says, 'Hey Smiley." I start laughing. I just try to stay humble."
It's a little more difficult to stay humble when the coach is saying you can be the best cornerback on the team. Where Bethel exactly fits defensively remains uncertain. Peterson and Antonio Cromartie are the starters. When healthy, Tyrann Mathieu is the nickel, and Jerraud Powers is still in place to contend for playing time.
Yet "we talked to him about counting on him," Arians said. "He's got the ability to be a top flight corner."
Which was always Bethel's plan -- with or without Arians' big endorsement.
"I've been the best special teams player. Now I want to be the best corner," Bethel said. "Every day, you try to get better. You got Pat, got Cro, and I take what I can from them. One of these days hopefully I can be a starter and be one of the best in the league."

These amazing sculptures of swallows are the work of artist Jeremy Mayer. Like his other sculptures, the swallows are entirely composed of parts taken out of typewriters. Mayer doesn't even use glue or soldering to keep his swallows together. He says of his art and process:
"I'm very interested in assembly, particularly in nature. I pay very close attention to the strong current in science and technology flowing inexorably toward an emulation of natural systems." [via]

May 2012 - $19.00
Rate was 250 pesos a night. Free Wi-Fi signal almost reached our unit. Improved electric and water connections. Very quiet, except for lots of fireworks as part of a religious holiday. A few friendly dogs run loose in the place. There is a mall and an OXXO within 1 km. - stampeder
Feb 2010 - $22.00
GPS coordinates: 19.07242 N, 98.29568 W. This campground is kind of an afterthought—it's as if a not-very-successful motel decided to let RVs park in its courtyard. It also looks as though the motel/park used to be thriving, and parts of it are now closed. The park has additional RV spaces, a pool, and barbecue area that appeared to be abandoned. There's also an old disco that is now being used as a clubhouse. In the corner of the disco, you can plug in your laptop and get a little bit of a Wi-Fi signal, but not much. The water is pretty standard for Mexico—not much pressure, but enough to fill our tank so we would treat it. The 15-amp power worked fine, but the wiring is a little funky. The turn into (and out of) the park is very tight: You have to turn off a narrow side street and through a gate. It was tricky, but we managed. Lots of people cut through the park on their way to a nearby neighborhood, but the park seemed safe and secure anyway. Our main complaint was that it was hard to figure out how much to pay and to whom. We found it easy to walk to the nearby shops and Bodega Aurrera to get groceries, and there was also a lavandería nearby. We took a cab to see the Cholula pyramid for 30 pesos. The pyramid ruins were fascinating, but the tunnel inside has collapsed, so you can no longer do that part of the tour. (The actual cost per night was M$250 pesos.) - Family on the road

Vague thread-title gets a vague answer:
I'm much happier with rereleased figures when they good strides are made towards making the figure more movie-accurate. This was probably the best Grievous to use, and now that he actually is painted correctly, he's a very cool figure, I think.
WOOT! I hit the local Target store today over lunch and BAM! Coruscant, baby!
I am allfor clones without a doubt but their distribution ends up short changing us.
It's all a matter of perspective though. Beleive it or not, in some areas, clones are no more popular or hard to find than any other figure.
I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball.
I'll pass thanks. The thing that's so appealing about the original unleashed line is that it WASN'T done in the 3 3/4" scale.
Funny, the reason I don't collect the larger Unleashed or the minis is because I'd rather stick to a 3-3/4" scale. Variety in that line is what appeals to me, and this scale has been the bread and butter of Star Wars figures since their inception in the vintage days.

Open to the Core..../
Bradley Kuhn Executive Director of the Software Freedom Conservancy, wrote an interesting perspective piece on open core in 'Does "Open Core" Actually Differ from Proprietary Relicensing?' If you have never read anything from any of the followers of RMS(Richard Stallman) this is an interesting example. While I appreciate the points there is a distinct lack of reality in what is written. I love freedom and promote Linux every chance I get. I want to see it and other free and open source software over take the closed proprietary software. However, there is a distinct hatred for anyone making money on Free and Open Source software from almost everyone RMS has converted. The reality is though that people can't support a family without coming up with multiple different was of making money on the products in the Free and Open Source world. I don't see how selling add-on products, freemium models, and support means that you can't be an open source promoter? The main point of the article seems to be that making money on Open Source is a bad thing unless it's just for support. The article does link to some attempts to define the newer "Open Core" with one of the best ones here.

Story highlights
- More than 1,000 workers will lose their jobs when Ford closes two production facilities
- The decision is a blow to those who will lose their jobs and bad news for Labor government
- It comes despite attempts to prop up the industry by the Australian government
- It raised questions over the structure of the Australian economy
"For the workers at Ford and their families absorbing this difficult news today, we will make sure that you are not left behind."
So tweeted the Australian premier Julia Gillard, as Ford Australia, the local subsidiary of the U.S. giant, this week confirmed the worst kept secret in Australian manufacturing.
More than 1,000 workers will lose their jobs when Ford closes two production facilities in the state of Victoria by October 2016.
The decision came after Ford Australia declared a A$141 million [$135.4 million] tax loss for the year 2012/13. The company has lost around A$600 million [$575 million] over the last five years, making it unviable, it says, to continue producing cars in Australia.
The decision is a blow not only to those who will lose their jobs. It's also bad news for the ruling Labor government, about to face an election it's tipped to lose.
It also comes amid concerns that while Australia's mining boom appears to have peaked, the country's manufacturing base is in decline.
Ford Australia president and chief executive Bob Graziano said the company had failed to "make the numbers work" when it modeled a number of different scenarios in an attempt to maintain its Australian production base.
A small and fragmented Australian market and uncompetitive cost structures are to blame, according to Graziano.
"There's been a significant change in terms of the total number of vehicles sold in the large car segment," he told a media conference. He added "costs are double that of Europe and nearly four times Ford in Asia."
The news, which will also impact the vehicle manufacturing supply chain across the country, comes despite attempts by the Australian government to prop up the industry.
In the past decade the Australian government has given the auto industry A$12 billion [$11.5 billion] in subsidies -- with Ford itself the beneficiary of A$2.5 billion of those subsidies.
But the automaker's decision to close manufacturing completely by 2016 is likely to add to the growing concerns that Australia is too reliant on its mining industry and resource exports to China in particular, whilst its manufacturing base has been in steady decline over more than four decades.
In the 1960s, manufacturing accounted for close to 30% of GDP. In 2012, it accounted 7.2%.
The Australian Industry Group, an employers organization, said manufacturers were doing it tough in a "high cost economy" while opposition leader Tony Abbott lamented a "black day for manufacturing in Australia."
But respected commentator Bernard Keane said the news was long overdue and unrepresentative of the state of Australian manufacturing.
"These aren't the numbers of a company suffering increased competition from a stronger currency, but a company that can't convince consumers to buy its flagship product any more, a company that has lost touch with consumers, as so often happens with protected industries," he wrote in news outlet Crikey.
"Nor is the closure representative of Australian manufacturing. For all the stories about high-profile manufacturers struggling, in the year to February the total manufacturing workforce fell by just 3,000, or a third of 1%, to 954,000 in trend terms -- the lowest fall in years."
But manufacturing, once Australia's largest employer, has seen its share of total employment eclipsed by the health, retail and construction sectors. Contrary to popular belief, the mining industry upon which Australia remains reliant is not the countries biggest employer, according to analysis published on Crikey.
George Megalogenis, economic commentator and author of "The Australian Moment," a book that tracks Australia's economic development said "all first world economies have roughly similar stories to tell on manufacturing.
"Manufacturing was the single biggest employer through till the 90s in some countries. But its share of employment and of GDP is declining. And it's quite a smooth line, which started in the 60s," he told CNN.
"But now we are at that point where societies are starting to ask themselves whether they let the trend continue to the point where they actually lose the know-how to make things."
He added: "China will see the same decline in 20 or 30 years time. They will replicate first world trends but with a lag."
Though it employs fewer Australians, and despite the boom appearing to have peaked, Australia's mining industry remains the headline act.
Profitable, it provides a significant percentage of company tax revenue to government, even if the tax on super profits imposed by the Gillard government has been a disappointment; the government's projections of a A$2 billion windfall delivered only A$127 million because the tax is structured to allow the miners to offset the value of their mines against the tax.
Former finance minister Lindsay Tanner has warned in the past that Australia needs to reduce its reliance on mining and focus its efforts on other export industries.
"Minerals are always going to be critical for Australia. There's no question about that," he told ABC radio.
However, the diversification of Australian exports had stagnated in the 90s, with growth in tourism, education and specialized manufacturing moving into reverse, he said.
"So it's not so much that there's one country that we're dependent on. It's that we have I think to some extent too many eggs in that basket," said Tanner.
For Megalogenis, Australia's economic reliance on mining would be more acceptable if it had the future firmly in sight.
"When mining crowds everything out and the economy makes room for that, to service China, knowing that it's a highly volatile global cycle, it becomes a question of what Australia does with the spoils," he told CNN. "Because there will be a bust," he added.
Megalogenis says historically, Australia has wisely invested the spoils. "We built Melbourne out of the gold boom," he said. "But we haven't really taken the cash from this mining boom and reinvested it in expanding the capacity of the rest of the economy."
The Gillard government has anticipated a second mining boom, he says, and allocated spending in anticipation.
"But the second chance has been denied us by Europe and the global financial crisis. We had a second crisis and Europe is still in recession. "
Even so, though mining profits are down because of lower commodity prices, profit margins remain high.
According to the Minerals Council of Australia, last year the industry paid in excess of $20 billion in company tax and royalties combined -- a four-fold increase on the $4 billion to $5 billion paid at the start of the boom.
What future exists for manufacturing in Australia when the countries finite resources are depleted is a question that no doubt will have to wait until after the September 14 poll.

Daylight Savings Time Today. It's Time to Blog (Business & Personal)
To update you on life, I'm doing well and staying busy as usual. This past year (2011) I've stayed indoors more that I usually do, so I've been brushing up on new marketing techniques, web design, video production, motion graphics and graphic design. Oh and I've been spending some time blogging on Men's Room Magazine, posting new music on Rokpad and a West Virginia Online Magazine as well. I'm going to list a few things here in detail because I'm so scatterbrained and I need to organize my thoughts into categories. =P
Web Development + Graphic Design + SEO + Video Production + Visual Effects + Motion Graphics + Social Media + Blogging = My Life.
At least I didn't have to do that much PC repair last year… (I've been hiding, haha)
I've taken on a large number of websites in the past year (which is a great thing) but I'm racking my brain and straining my eyes by staying on the computer too long. I'm usually out doing sales for my business but this year it's been mostly done from home and through referral work. I enjoy my work, and I'm thankful to be doing what I enjoy. I'm currently managing over 150 websites, not all of them are clients, 75% of them are clients, the other 25% are my businesses, side projects and hobbies. This year I'm going to be focused on print media and video production more and I'll be having some assistance with web projects. I have a few close friends that help me here and there on projects, from web, video, design and marketing, but I'll be hiring my first official part-time/full-time employee soon.
I recently had a competitor go out of business, which gave me some new clients, but made me rethink how I manage some of my client content online. They were all struggling to obtain their original web domain name and for some it was lost for good. (expired domain, too pricey to buy back now) In these cases, nobody wins, a business goes out of business and their clients suffer from their mistakes of mismanaging their content. FORTUNATELY, I was able to obtain control of some of the clients original domain names (via who-is search and rescue…) and even had a way to see what their site looked like to be able re-build their website. (Thanks Wayback Machine) So that was pretty exciting for me to be able to help out some of the local businesses. I enjoyed going the extra mile.
An update on Rokpad, I had originally started it to be Magazine, (locally here in WV, which wasn't the best idea seeing that I may not be going after the right crowd). I had even began compiling a videos I had shot of local musician's and I would showcase them on the DVD that would be for free at local stores. It wasn't a bad idea, but I think Rokpad can be developed into something bigger if I put more effort into it. As for local music, I did launch another site for local musicians, which is doing well and I'm happy with, but with Rokpad, I completely re-designed and it will showcase indie artists from all around the world, focusing on featuring new artists and sharing music videos. The online magazine "Rokpad Entertainment" will also offer Artists services, from music videos, flier designs, to Electronic Press Kits. So I'm excited to see what it's going to develop into as the months go by.
SEO MAGIC – GETTING ON TOP & STAYING ON TOP (two completely different things)
Most people into SEO have no idea what's going on and just when you think you've gotten it all under control, your highly underestimating how the internet works. There isn't just one or two "TRICKS" that will get you on top of a competitive Google search listing, it takes hard work, sometime a full time job, or possibly a team of people working full time. WHAT THE CRAP!, you say? Now don't get me wrong, if there is a small market for your business/website then perhaps your efforts could be cut into small fractions compared to popular search listings.
Crazy thing is, SEO techniques change or have variables considering everything going online, which could change drastically at any moment. For an example, you may have been trying to get to the top of a search engine for a specific keyword, then you finally made it, and you think all your hard work has paid off. Then BAM, theres a new ad campaign on TV or web, or new social media trending topic and your squashed like a bug, kicked off of your front page, being farther back than you were before. Well, don't let this discourage you, it's business and staying on top of the "next big thing" (new technologies) will help you keep your SEO status or stand a fighting chance. Well that's enough of my ranting on about boring ol' SEO. (PS: I was being vague for a reason, can't give away all your chips if your still in the game)
Oh and if you're wondering, the Bugs Bunny Ad is an old car Oil Ad, not sure of the era. I've always been a fan of Bugs Bunny, more cartoons should be more like the old Looney Toons episodes, instead of sucking like everything on TV. I do like Family guy, but I was talking about shows for kids, they shouldn't be watching Mature junk on TV, messes them up. (oops, got off topic)
Like I said before, I've been indoors mostly for the past year so I haven't had my hand into any new video productions, but I have been brushing up on Motion Graphics and I made a few videos for my businesses (you can find them here, youtube.com/aronfield). My next few videos I'm preparing to produce are West Virginia related, which I'm excited to do, showcasing downtown Charleston, WV and I'll be using some simple camera tricks that will look amazing with the Mountain views, so I can't wait for that. I may be producing DVDs for this as well, not sure yet, the project is in it's early stages at the moment. A far as the future, I'm really looking forward to producing more Commercials (comedy) and Music Videos in the next few months to come. So stay tuned and I'll be posting them on here as well. On a side note, my heart is really into Film, but I'm tied down at the moment on so many projects (which I love, don't get me wrong) but I'm seriously considering taking a break once I have a few more projects in order to work on my unfinished scripts. I'd love to direct, have partial in editing, and even have a cameo in a film. It's on my TO DO list, I'll make it happen. Oh and I do have a hand in an upcoming Film Festival, a first of it's kind and hopefully it will be getting off the ground soon.
Well that's about it…. No, I'm managing around 20 Facebook and Twitter Accounts and keeping them current is a full time job of it's own. As a matter of fact, everything that I've listed above is a full time job of it's own!!! No wonder I've had no life this past year. (and not to mention I gained 50 pounds in the process, thank god it's almost summer now) I'm not going to rattle on about anything specific on this because it's a matter of privacy, but I do spend quite some time on Facebook. Blah. It's it weren't for my business, I'd delete my account and never look back. (I'm lying, I can't stay away for an hour without updating my status or stalking yours, haha)
No, seriously, I can't even imagine what it used to be like without Social Media….Even before Facebook, Myspace was the dominate one, and before that I had real friends…. HA. I often watch Three's Company (TV Show in the 70's) and I try and remember a time where you weren't on a digital leash, or a slave to social media. This took generations to happen though, if you were to say "hey, theres a new place where you can post everything your doing, thinking of doing or would like to do and share it with your friends and some people that you met, that one time in passing, but you'd sort of call them a friend, want to try?" They would probably punch you in the face, which is what I love about the "simpler times."
Overall, yes, I'm more introverted, posting about things going on, reading about what others are doing, posting what I'm thinking…. It's insanity.. so I have no time to actually DO ANYTHING! HAHAHA.. Sad, but so true. (Social Media Managers know what I'm talking about) To be clear, I learn a lot everyday and I work hard at every thing I put my mind to do, and that is all for this segment.
I'm a techie, designer, videographer, editor, then I step into the realm of being an entrepreneur, but what I am not amazing at is blogging, my grammar is horrible, I'm just not a pro at this, but I'm working on it. That's why I'm writing more, this long @$$ blog for example. I just don't write that much and I'm not in my comfort zone when writing to the public, but this is why I'm working on it. You can't get any better at anything if you don't step outside your comfort zone. So please excuse me if the wording, spelling and the overall blog sucks. I'm the learning process and I'm not ashamed to share it with the world. I'm great at a lot of things, I'm very blessed in many ways, but I suck at writing in general, no one is perfect, first step is admitting it, next step is taking control of the situation! HAHA (joking, but serious) I got A's in School and in College (way back when) in Language,Writing, Creative Writing, etc, but I proofread like crazy. Writing for blogs seems like a different ballgame, but it really isn't at all. I'm used to printing everything out and analyzing it on paper. (Which isn't a bad idea for big projects, client work, etc) I've printed out several websites, designs, and articles I've written to take it with me and studied it. Practice makes perfect, nothing more true about that saying.
Mostly I've been working, I do try and get out when I can, have fun, etc. Me and sweetie go to the movies a few times a month and I try and stay current on what good / what sucks, but it's difficult when there are so many films in and out of the theater in one month and that's not including independent films that never make it that far. I'm a movie buff for sure, and I have way too many DVDs, and I haven't even started on a BlueRay kick yet.. (I was hoping is was a phase, like HD DVDs.. etc) Some of my favorite movies where the Marvel flicks, Thor, Captain America and I can't wait for THE AVENGERS! Also the new Spider-Man movie looks good, even though I didn't think I'd be a fan because it hasn't been that long since Toby played the Character.
If I don't get to watch it in the theater, then I'm all about RedBox and the occasional Blockbuster… BTW, I like buying indie movies from Blockbuster after that have an overstock of DVDs… Great way to save a buck if your into film in general. So many of my nights are spent watching random movies while the puppy cuddles up to her Smurf stuffed animals. That puppy is so spoiled it's ridiculous… I'm moving on..
I don't play video games that much, I like the occasional Angry Birds, Plants vs. Zombies and we did just bought a Wii last Christmas. I really wanted to play the new version of GoldenEye, which I somehow thought it would be 10% as cool as the original Nintendo 64 version that I, myself and so many others were addicted to for so many years and I was HUGELY MISTAKEN. Oh well, good try guys, but keep trying please. We got a few other games including, a few Mario games, and Donkey Kong Returns which is fun. I was (still am) a huge fan of the old Donkey Kong Country games for SNES. I am very good at video games, I went out a legend in my own time, haha. I just decided I couldn't accomplish my goals by playing so many games all the time, so I had to cut back for a while. (it's a good thing)
I don't really have any bad habits except for eating crappy foods and too much of it. I hardly ever drink anything else but Soda (Pepsi, Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke). Every day I try and catch Family Feud, dunno why I love that show so much, haha. My favorite channels are ABC, NBC, (FOX sometimes), History, Tru TV and TV Land. So to be clear, that's Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno, Jimmy Fallon, SNL, Conan (not as much as I used to watch), Family Guy (I watch that on Hulu), Shark Tank (MY FAVORITE SHOW), Alcatraz (AWESOME SHOW – it replaced my LOST fix), Pawn Stars, Operation Repo, Lizard Lick Towing, The Exes (I think it got cancelled), and reruns of Home Improvement, Friends, The Nanny, Rosanne, Three's Company, Full House and Family Matters. Also I'm a fan of The Voice and America's Got Talent, and my Girlfriend makes me watch Dancing with the Stars, no seriously, I mean it. I'm not lying here..
So with my long list of shows that I watch on TV (surprising to me, because I didn't list how many movies I watch), you'd think I'd have plenty of time to exercise during these shows. Writing this out makes me rethink some things, you see I'm not doing nothing during these shows, but not always the best thing either. I'm either writing, working on design/programming (watching hulu or movies), eating lunch during Family Feud and the DVR recording of last nights Jimmy Fallon, or I'm in bed trying to fall asleep for HOURS AND HOURS… Which is where I watch the most TV, just to be clear.
So anywho, I need to start (and follow through with) better habits, like exercising, eating better, keeping track of your productivity. I have to go that extra mile on the productivity, especially being your own boss. It's not that easy to stay motivated 24/7, so you have to find creative ways to push yourself to be a better person everyday.
About Dieting, I'm thinking about doing a Vlog to help motivate myself to reach my goals because it's easy to forget them unless you remind yourself. And seeing it in a video may just do the trick to keep myself on track. You can check up on me , heres my youtube account. http://youtube.com/jolearon
After reading this blog, if you somehow have gotten this far, you'll should see a little glimpse of what I'm thinking about every second of every day (which is probably why I can't sleep). If you are one of these people who just can't turn off your brain and you struggle to sleep or crash from time to time from doing too much then first I applaud you and second, you need help! Ha. No, it's good to keep busy, especially if your doing something you love or have an interest in doing, just make sure you come out ahead at the end of the line. If I could give any advice, it would be to know your goals and keep yourself in check. Keep your goals clear and insight, EVERYDAY. Keep pushing forward, NO MATTER WHAT THE RESISTANCE. And always remember to stop and smell the flowers, (for me this means, keep in mind why you have goals in the first place, be happy).

VIDEO: Pacers-Heat Game 6 Preview
MIAMI — Has another injury forced the Miami Heat into another lineup change that will help them win a championship?
It was two years ago when Chris Bosh suffered an abdominal injury in Game 1 of the conference semifinals against Indiana. His absence forced Shane Battier into the starting lineup and unlocked the Heat's floor spacing around LeBron James, turning them into an offensive juggernaut and two-time champions.
In Game 3 of this year's Eastern Conference finals, Chris Andersen suffered a bruised left thigh. Andersen wasn't starting, but his absence forced another lineup shuffle by Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. Because the Heat needed a back-up center, Udonis Haslem went from starter to reserve, and Rashard Lewis — who hadn't played in the first two games — was inserted into the starting lineup for Game 4.
Andersen could be back for Game 6 on Friday (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) — he's a game-time decision — but it seems unlikely that Spoelstra would remove Lewis from the starting lineup either way.
Lewis is a series-high plus-35 in the conference finals. Though he shot 0-for-7 in Games 3 and 4, the Miami offense has been at its best with Lewis on the floor. His work (and "work" is the right word here) against David West has allowed the Heat to remain strong defensively without playing big.
With the best player in the world, Miami has a lot of combinations that work. But the one with Haslem wasn't working that well. Haslem is a series-low minus-43. He has hurt Miami's spacing offensively and hasn't been able to make up for it with defense and rebounding. Even in the Charlotte series, which the Heat swept, he was a minus-17.
Going into the conference finals, the Heat just didn't have many alternatives at the second forward spot. Battier's minutes are limited as he approaches retirement. And Michael Beasley never earned a postseason role. Neither can really handle West defensively.
Lewis can. He's listed as 15 pounds lighter than West, but he held his own against bigger power forwards when he played for the Orlando Magic. And now that he's rediscovered his shot (he hit six of his nine threes in Game 5 on Wednesday), he can provide even more spacing for James offensively.
So with 25-30 minutes of Lewis, a dash of Battier and a fourth quarter that features their three-guard lineup, the Heat don't have to play big, save for a few Bosh-Andersen minutes, in which they still have solid floor spacing. That floor spacing has made Indiana's No. 1 defense struggle to get stops.
"They spread you out," West said Thursday. "We're not matching up in transition as well as we should. They're getting us cross-matched. We just got to get a man to a body in transition."
If they can do that, there's still the question of what they should try to take away.
"We expect LeBron to have a huge night and be able to play his game," Paul George said. "But we can't let Rashard Lewis go for 18 from the 3-point line. That's an area that we feel like we can cut out, the whole team in general. We do a great job of being able to guard the paint as well as the 3-point line."
West, the guy who's responsible for defending Lewis, says it's a balance.
"We're not going to overreact," West said. "A lot of it is the system stuff that we're doing, just having some breakdowns, maybe putting too many guys in front of LeBron. But we got to take our chances. We have to load to LeBron, load to Wade, and force those other guys to make plays and beat us."
Lewis hadn't hit six threes since the 2009 Finals. He probably isn't going to hit six again. But whether he's making shots or not, his presence on the floor is working for the Heat.
Thirteen different players have started playoff games for the Heat over the last four years. Spoelstra isn't afraid to make changes when needed. Don't be surprised if Lewis, who played just 47 minutes in last year's postseason, is starting in The Finals.

Hello Friends!
Together with my Creative Team, we are hoping to inspire you to grab some paints and papers and have a creative artsy weekend!
Today it's Sanda's turn who's here with her brand new altered art project. Multiple layers of paints, papers, colors, happy stamping and stenciling - it's all there, altered art filled with so much beautiful creative energy - I'm sure you'll all love it!
* * * *
Hello lovely people,
I'm back on the blog today with a project I hope you will love with its bright and colourful layers of Finn's Impasto paints.
I really can't have enough of them and like so, my Muse is kept happy and creative! 😊
I really can't have enough of them and like so, my Muse is kept happy and creative! 😊
So for today, I have for you an altered wooden key hanger I bought a good while ago and for some reason, it stayed forgotten on a shelf… until now! 😊
I started by covering up my wooden key hanger with a generous layer of Heavy White Gesso.
When it was dry, I took out my beloved Art Alchemy Impasto paints and started to paint the little cute houses, adding some texture to them by using a selection of stencils.
I didn't paint the roofs, as for them I had another plan 😊
You can see all the products I used in the list below and my creative process in the video I made.
While the houses were drying, I began painting two mixed media papers with Impasto paints and different ink sprays.
To embellish them further, create more layers and to add more interest and depth, I used a selection of stencils and cling rubber stamps.
Now, going back to my houses, I cut and collaged pieces of my handmade pattern papers on the roofs of the houses using 3D Matte Gel.
Using a fine grade sanding paper I sanded all the edges and then inked them up.
Next, I did a bit of background stamping using Finnabair's 'Read To Me' text clear stamp and black Archival ink.
When the ink was completely dry, I added a few circles using White Gesso and the 'Bubbles' stencil.
Then I stamped and cut out the same amount of circles (and roughly the same sizes) and collaged them with 3D Matte Gel.
I continued embellishing my tiny houses by collaging different shapes I cut out from the painted papers, shading around them with a black charcoal pencil and adding a bit of doodling with white and black pens.
As a finishing touch, I added two pieces of fussy cut Ephemera, a cute butterfly, three Mechanicals numbers and two stamped words.Here is my video where you can watch my creative process and see all the products I used.
Enjoy and have fun!
I hope you enjoyed and got inspired by my new project and you are ready to create some magic of your own. 😊
Have a wonderful day, my friends, xoxo
