CORINTH, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man accused of mailing letters with suspected ricin to national leaders believed he had uncovered a conspiracy to sell human body parts on the black market and sometimes performed as an Elvis Presley impersonator.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was arrested Wednesday at his home in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 50 miles north of Presley's birthplace in Tupelo.
Authorities were waiting for definitive tests on intercepted letters that were addressed to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. Preliminary field tests can often show false positives for ricin. Ricin is derived from the castor plant that makes castor oil. There is no antidote and it's deadliest when inhaled.
An FBI intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said the two letters were postmarked Memphis, Tenn.
Both letters said: "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance." Both were signed, "I am KC and I approve this message."
The letters had Washington on edge in the days after the Boston Marathon bombing. As authorities scurried to investigate three questionable packages discovered in Senate office buildings Wednesday, reports of suspicious items also came in from at least three senators' offices in their home states. The items were found to be harmless.
In Corinth, a city of about 14,000, police cordoned off part of a subdivision where Curtis lived. At least five police cars were on the scene, but there didn't appear to be any hazardous-material crews and no neighbors were evacuated. The one-story, single-family home is similar to the others in the neighborhood, with red brick with white trim.
Ricky Curtis, who said he was Kevin Curtis' cousin, said the family was shocked by the news of the arrest. He described his cousin as a "super entertainer" who impersonated Elvis and numerous other singers.
"We're all in shock. I don't think anybody had a clue that this kind of stuff was weighing on his mind," Ricky Curtis said in a telephone interview.
Ricky Curtis said his cousin had written about problems he had with a cleaning business and that he felt the government had not treated him well, but he said nobody in the family would have expected this. He said the writings were titled, "Missing Pieces."
A MySpace page for a cleaning company called The Cleaning Crew confirms that they "do windows" and has profile photo of "Kevin Curtis, Master of Impressions." A YouTube channel under the name of Kevin Curtis has dozens of videos of him performing as different famous musicians, including Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Kid Rock.

The Adorable Ad Ikea's Lawyers Won't Run in Russia
November 21, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
The impact of Russia's anti-LGBT "propaganda" law continues to reverberate throughout the world. Not only is it affecting the Russian LGBT community, which is suffering from the increase in hate-based violence, but also the companies and corporations that conduct business in the country.
This week the Swedish furniture retailer Ikea, under the advice of its legal experts, censored an ad in the December edition of its club magazine.
The catalogue that ran in 25 markets worldwide included an article about a lesbian couple and their child living in London. Ikea spokesperson Ylva Magnusson told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the company pulled the article for the Russian market because of "restrictions regarding promoting homosexual relationships."
Click here to see the ad in its entirety.
Russia's anti-LGBT laws are homogenizing the media portrayal of real-life families in Russia, and pressure businesses and corporations to follow suit.
People around the world are speaking out on social media against Russia's heinous anti-LGBT laws. Stand with us at loveconquershate.org.
HRC will harness the energy of our members and supporters, and all fair-minded Americans, to bring justice to Russia's LGBT community. Learn more at HRC.org/Russia.

roommate kicked me out holding my belongings
I believed that a man was following me home at night on 1/4/2010 on the bus. I called my roommate to ask what should I do this guy is following me home. He told me to alert the bus driver (which i did) and
to not go home. I got off the bus a few stops ahead of my regular bus stop and I went home. I believed the male was in my house. I called 911 they came to check it out, but when I went to greet the policemen I locked my keys inside. My roommate then refused to come and let me in (my roomie was not home at the time). Since he wouldnt let me in I had to have one of my friends pick me up from the police station because I was locked out and I wasnt going to wait in the cold.
The next day. I called my roomie to find out when he would be home. He told me that I could get my stuff and get out. I didnt contest because it was a bad situation anyways. He owes 4000 (I saw this evidence, we recieved an eviction notice) to the management company for past due months and I know he wasnt paying rent with my money. I know this because I gave him a check for rent in the name of the management company for december rent and it sat there. I saw the check the day (1/4/2010) that the incident happened.
Later, I met with him to get some of my belongings and go to my sisters house in wisconsin because he would not allow me to stay at the house. The day I got kicked out was 1/5/2010. My ex roomie is saying that I need to pay him $650 for the rent, late fees (he owes 4000- tons of late fees, and never had the rent money either), and other stuff that I owe.
When I ask him for evidence of the late fees he says he has it, but never sends it over (shouldnt the late fees be split and not on me 100%). He is trying to stick me with two weeks of rent, which I dont believe I owe him because he kicked me out. Legally, I know that I am not obligated to pay him anything because he kicked me out the day rent was due (his bad not mine). I did not leave on my terms. He kicked me out. So why should I pay.
I want to get my stuff out of there but hes saying I need to have a check in his name or cash in order to retrieve my belongings. Im not on the lease, the address is not on my id. How can I get my stuff back??? Cant get a police escort. Dont have money to take him to court.
You can go to small claims court - check into it (maybe you'll end up on Judge Judy :-) because the situation is not one you can solve on your own, but do it quickly before that ex-roomie destroys your stuff. Also see about getting legal aid representation in your area - call the local law society and ask them what to do.
Before you go to small claims or lawyer (I'm not one, by the way, am a LL), I'd suggest a trip to the local police department. In some jurisdictions, a person who has stayed/occupied a residence for a length of time (as little as a few weeks) is viewed as being a resident there. (That's why I stipulate on my leases who will occupy, and I name names, and take a few other measures. In the past I had people allow others to stay with them for a month or even longer. If roomie decides they don't want to leave, I could well be facing eviction as the only means to get them out - on someone who's not even on my lease.)
Wait - I see you can't get a police escort. Why? Did they give you a reason?

A Comparison Of Apple Pay And Other Mobile Wallets From A Retail Perspective
The announcement of Apple Pay has refocused the retail market on mobile wallet services, which to date have seen slow consumer adoption. While most of the articles discuss the consumer benefits of these services, much less has been published on the impact of these services on retailers.
How The IoT Will Transform Retail
The Internet of Things (IoT), or to use the term coined by major contributor Cisco, the Internet of Everything (IoE) will have far-reaching impacts on retail, as well as any industry that it touches. The distinction is the IoT is connecting devices, similar to an intranet whereas the IoE is connecting networks, companies, consumers — thus "everything."

Unless you spent 2014 under a rock, you already know that, this coming October, all merchants will be required to comply with new Europay, Mastercard and Visa (EMV) standards. While Europe (and, well, the rest of the world) has been on this standard for decades, the U.S. has managed to limp by with our magnetic stripe cards for a long time, partially because our fraud detection and resolution systems are strong, and partially because we're addicted to an aging payments infrastructure.

4 Ways IoT Will Transform E-Commerce
There's a moment of panic when we can't find our phones. There is somehow a sense of security that comes from feeling that electronic rectangle in our pockets. The rise of mobile technology has made our smartphones and tablets the head of our personal nerve centers. They take pictures, notes, connect us to social media and even now allow us to lock our doors and turn off our thermostats remotely. We live in an era of smart technology where everything connects to everything, and we're constantly on the grid.

Another quarter, another major advance in Linux' move to the desktop—at least if we judge from service calls. Last September, we reported that Linuxcare noticed a 27% increase in the number of desktop incidents, while service calls for file, print and web servers went down. Now we have the third-quarter numbers, and the trend continues. To show the dramatics, here's a graph.

The press loves a David & Goliath "war" of any kind. Bill Gates has played the Goliath role for quite a while, of course, but the Davids come and go. For most of the late 1990s, David was played by Netscape's Marc Andreessen. Now Linus Torvalds has been cast in the David role.
Thus, the headlines read like a play-by-play fight between Linus and Bill, or Linus and other big/bad tribal chieftains. Here at Linux Journal, we found ourselves supplying material for this sports story when we hosted "Linux for Suits: The Linux and Open Source Executive Forum" at Internet World on October 6 last year.
Torvalds swings at Linux wannabes: Linux inventor dismisses moves toward open source by Sun, Microsoft... —ZD Net story, October 6, 1999
Actual Words:
Question: Microsoft has been talking a lot about opening up their own code. Whether or not they actually do that is a big question; but if they should do that, what does it mean for Linux?
Linus' Answer: I'd like to start off by saying talk is cheap, and I think this is a fairly theoretical question. However, as a theoretical question, I'd be more than happy to see more and more people open up their source. I'm not convinced, for example, that the Sun community license is a very good license. But it still makes me very happy to see that Sun is opening up and making their knowledge available to others. And if Microsoft were to open up, I'd be more than thrilled. I don't think it is very likely, or if it does happen, it will most likely be in niche markets. People think there is more of a Microsoft bigotry in the Linux community than there really is. I'm more than happy to use Microsoft products. It is just that I am selective about the products I want to use. For example, I've always liked PowerPoint, and I've always thought that Visual Basic was a good product. It's just been hard to use them because I've always thought the platforms they run on aren't good enough. I used to do my slides with PowerPoint for the longest time with a Windows Installation package. This is true, I find of all the developers I'm in contact with—that maybe we take up Microsoft as a bad example in specific areas, but we're not as anti-Microsoft as the press makes us seem.

The description indicates that these are regulation size at 3.93 inches. Tournament grade Bocce ball sets are available with 100 mm to 115 mm diameter balls. BUT... Bocce Standards Association has chosen the International Standard ball diameter of 107 mm (4.2 inches) and weight of 920gms. (2 lbs.) as the standard size. 3.93 inches equates to 99.82. These are not quite regulation size. If you are looking to have fun and just play, then go for it. If you want true regulation, then keep searching.
This is a better looking bocce set than it appears in the listing. The balls are lovely and have a richer color than you can see here. Everything seems pretty industry-standard and we enjoy using them to play in the backyard. The only thing keeping me from a five star rating is that the bag is somewhat flimsy and the balls knock around when you've got them in the back of your car. There are also no instructions, though these are easy enough to find pretty much anywhere on the internet.
A great bocce set! The bag is basically useless as it does not support the weight and arrived ripped at zipper seams upon delivery. Need to find accommodating storage means-stronger bag.
The set is of a nice quality. Weighty and the carrying bag is convenient. Would have like some game rules/instructions as it has been years since my husband has played.
The bocce set was very high quality. The bag is cheap and rips easily, but really isn't necessary. The balls are nicely weighted and are a joy to play with. Would recommend to anyone who likes to play bocce!
Bought this for my husband and we both love it! Great game for a good price!
Excellent purchase. Very heavy, good quality set. We have hours and hours of fun.
These are not regulation size, came missing a pallino. Do not buy these...
Perfect holiday gift for family. Can use it immediately and requires no experience to play.
Awesome price for a great bocce set. A lot of fun to play and received in a very short time

Wicki is a Stencil Girl Guest Artist - Paper Casting with Stencils!
Wicki is guest designer today on StencilGirlTalk!
Axully? Blogs on topics that are Solid. Useful. Beautiful.
Wicki is guest designer today on StencilGirlTalk!
Peggy is a real teaser...I've not listened to the podcast yet. You know how hard it is to listen to yourself! CLICK HERE to read her post about the podcast.
I've made such good friends through Google+! The groups are so focused and fun. There will be much more coming including a guest blog post mid-March that happened because of those groups.
Now who's teasing :) OH, by the way, after months of trial and error on my part, and going in absolute circles, MailChimp support spent 2 hours with me on chat until we figured out the broken link problems. Cross fingers that they are all fixed. (thanks Marsha Savage)
I always enter product giveaways...never know when you might get lucky! Most of these are automated...the winner selected by computer. I keep my fingers crossed, keep checking back on their subsequent posts and hope to see my name. I'd hate to miss one!
BUT, after a glorious 3 hour lunch with a friend I've known since age 3, I came home to find an email congratulations from StencilGirl. I had won!
Color Wicki Smilin;!
Another just for fun silly post. Who cares if you NEED anything else in your art room? Especially if you are saving stuff from the landfill, AND helping people who need financial help? Helping Hands in Bentonville runs the BEST thrift store I've ever been in...total volunteer run. It is set up like a nice department store...wide aisles, things are gather by department, and you can find some great STUFF!
I spent the past two weeks immersed in a hardware issue...trying to learn Linux/Ubuntu/Knoppix to see if I could salvage a NAS drive with TWO 1 tb drives. Supposed to be safe because one mirrored the other for backup. NOT. It appears both are gone...or at least unrecognizable. Boggles my mind...and that is why I wouldn't give up. Still won't, just gonna find a nerd It guy here in Wal-Mart headquarters land I live in!
SO, I quit. Took a routine tour of my fav spots: Sonic for a junior deluxe cheeseburger (once a weekly habit, now once in a month or so, due to living with a diabetes2 spouse who cooks), Helping Hands...found great stuff there, as always! Then Tuesday Morning (nothing) and Hobby Lobby (a few things). Then to the 3 local dollar stores looking for silicone baby bottle nipples, slow flow. These for a tip shared by Google+ friend, Sylvia Tabor. Original video by Laura Denison Designs. Links are under the video! Enjoy!
Thanks to Google+ group Kraafter Kommunity and member Peggy Gabrielson of Georgia Mountain Arts for the wonderful article she wrote about me. Color Wicki blushing! Can't wait to see how she can turn my Ozark linguistics into a listenable podcast! TBA
xxoo and big hugs for Peggy! Please comment on her post and let her know you read it...
I explain in this tutorial how to take an inexpensive composition book and alter it for a Journal Jumpp (a Wicki coined phrase). Journal Jumpps are starters for your own journaling...gets you over the 'fear' of the blank white page. It is already grunged, so there can be no fear of ruining it as you add your own touches!
Click on www.Axully.com to see the original blog post and to leave a comment!
In this most sophisticated laboratory experiment (buahaha) I wanted to see if my favorite fixative for soft pastels would work for art journaling and waterbased sprays and media.
For those who are new to soft pastels, there is a continuing debate over "Whether to fix, or not to fix, that is the question, dear Watson". Many workable fixatives in readily available spray cans will drastically alter the color and look of the pastels. If the artist is trying to achieve texture and layering, this spray can ruin the texture...AND dull lighter colors.
Several years ago, Spectra-Fix was introduced at IAPS (International Society of Pastel Societies) and was an immediate hit. I wrote a blog post about it...and what I learned from Alan Flattmann about using it. Since my pastel easel and setup are but feet away from my mixed media workstation, it was an easy hop over to nab my mixture.
On 140# Fabriano watercolor paper I first wet the paper with a spray bottle of water. Next, I dropped and sprayed several different brands of ink and liquid watercolor, and some Tattered Angels and Smooch spray colors. After drying, I masked off the left side and sprayed my Spectra-Fix in two good coats...drying between.
Next, I sprayed with the water bottle again and put some deli paper on top. The un-fixed side pulled some color, while the fixed side only got a bit from the top...probably where I didn't hit the fixative good enough. Next, I re-wet it and used a paper towel this time. Violå! You can see the unfixed pigment stain the towel.
Page two: Get ready for it! I found a new product (to me, anyway) by reading a blog post on Google+ from a friend in England. She was showing her studio space where she used her "Brusho's". After a bit of research, I found that Dick Blick imports these from England...and they are fairly inexpensive. BUT, what FUN! They are highly pigmented watercolor CRYSTALS, about the size of glitter. In addition to all the traditional techniques for watercolor, these add an important ability...sprinkle a few granules into a water puddle and watch it explode onto your paper...reminds me of Fizzy's from 1960's.
The fixing and wetting and blotting process was repeated, with the same results. Spectra-Fix WORKS! AND, you can purchase it in a 3oz concentrate bottle and mix your own as the blog post explains. AND spray right at your workstation.
What fun Wicki is having! This process is a more illustrative one, and requires much more time than I originally thought. BUT, it is very enjoyable and the mixed media materials are like being a kid again!
Gold, Glitter, Magic, Oh My! And somewhere between the worktable and photo she gained an angel kiss on her forehead. hmmm. curious.
You know, funny thing is...many subscribers have left this blog since I've started exploring mixed media, bookbinding, journaling, etc. Too bad cause they are missing out on a lot of fun. I can already see how learning whimsy is going to help with my regular painting. Besides, just another stop on my art journey. Life Book 2015 by Tamara Laporte
I've found such warm, PARTICIPATING artists on Google+ who are a delight to interact with. You don't feel like you are preaching to the choir as with 'fine art'. Join us! I'm Vicki Ross, (on google+) and will steer you to some of the groups.
I have caught hints of this annual workshop for a year or so, and decided on a whim that I would 'Just do It'. As I've mentioned over the past few months, I've been exploring mixed media. This started with encaustics where anything that can be embedded in the beeswax medium is fair game. How much fun! Fibers, papers, junk mail, buttons...which led to the world of Art Journaling where much the same thing is done on paper.
The journal is not the end product, rather a recipe book of trial and error experimentation. Color combinations, layering, mono printing, stamping, stenciling...any thing that will add texture or a layer of intrigue is the name of the game.
Life Book 2015 is the brainchild of Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts in England. She has the most charming accent that shows her Dutch ancestry. She is also exudes an Earth Mother persona...it is all about self image. The first day of January, she jumped right in with a "warm-up" exercise. Took me TWO days to get mine done. Oh well, that, too is OK according to Tam. There are about 20 guest instructors throughout the year. I am EXCITED.
My word of the year 2015 is "DO". As in just do it. Quit reading and studying about it. I won't do a detailed step-out out of respect to Tam and all her hard work. I will say that she under promised and over delivered on the content!
I've also registered for a few other workshops similar to this one. I am determined to throw some color in 2015!
Just in time for Happy Festivus! Now released for Kindle readers...on Kindle, iPad, mac.
"Soft Pastels...an Exploration" is now available for $3.99 on Kindle or FREE on KDP Select.
Would love your shares and a review on Amazon!
I've not been able to play with my colors in a week or so. Ran-DEE's dad moved to an assisted living facility, and he had to clean out their apartment. Whew.
That took him over a week, even after his sister cleared what she wanted, and our auctioneer moved the big stuff. Left Randy with all the toilet paper, laundry soap, magazines, etc., over 20 picture albums from 1940's to present, his dad's tour of duty in Korea (many pics of barracks...2x3" b/w faded images). Over 100 small framed family pics that had not been unpacked since they moved from their house in Little Rock five years or so ago.
We are both guilty of hoarding to a certain degree, so our place can't hold their hoarding too. However, it was a pleasure going through most of it since they lived in Japan when Ran-DEE was 7-10...and Teiko still had family there. The Japanese cards and papers! Even the envelopes were saved (stamps already cut out). A huge box of odds and ends from her sewing room in Little Rock. I've got enough elastic to last a lifetime. Teiko worked at Hancock Fabrics several years and must have bought ends and pieces of stock. I'll be looking for an innovative way to use those, for sure.
Big sacks of embroidery thread and spools of sewing thread. Postcards, 1920's b/w images from Japanese descendants, tchotzkes, genealogy files, medical files from 2000 detailing every letter, empty envelope, surgery and doctor visit Wesley had. THOSE were easy to recycle!
Anyway, I got some treasures! Have removed every picture from every little frame, all ready for donation to our Helping Hands.
The answer to GUESS? Waterproof pads. They measure 24" x 24" -ish, and are GREAT for studio work. The bookcase was made by Wesley, and will give us some much needed vertical storage for books we have, as well as all those scrapbooks of Teiko's. Insluded in those was a book of pictures of our house that isn't with us anymore...and some pictures of Sarah we didn't have.
That was the toughest part of the going through, for me anyway. I'll share more of the Japan ephemera later...great fodder for art. I will digitize the images and use those, passing on the originals to Betsy Ross Noble.
I'm ready for color and my studio! Bring it!
Short and sweet, this post is. Vicki is creating an active YouTube channel with her short video demos. Make a request! I'll do my best to make it happen.
I've also had requests for a link to my old blog (2008-2013 posts). It is HERE.
Please visit, subscribe, and feed the Muse!
Well, this is done. I love the material...and can't wait to put it to use. May have to carve deeper if I use acrylic paint with it, but so far it is working great with ink pads.
I've had some requests for blog posts back when I was posting about art and processes in oil, watercolor, and pastel. To save my sanity with all the social media to update every day, I started blogging here on Axully.com. My old blog posts are still 'out there'! I did my first post in March, 2008. Check them out...there's some good stuff there! www.VickiRossArt.blogspot.com
So without further ado, here is video 3 of 3 on Rubber Plumbers Pack carving. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel and like the video. I'm having fun sharing these...and my muse needs encouragement!
Read the original post HERE!
I did this last week, and forgot to blog about it. I have numerous readers who stay up with me through these posts. Even though I've been active on Google+ lately, those groups are much smaller. Had a long conversation with a friend/student of mine today and I tried to explain that I haven't gone over to the dark side...just working with color and personal imagery of my own creation. All these techniques and tools can be used with any media...watercolor, oil, pastel, encaustic. I have come to believe that the current art journaling buzz, for me anyway, is a place to experiment with no pressure to complete a 'fine art' painting.
Anyway, If you saw my post on Linocut Carving, here is the link for that. I show the process of carving "the grey stuff", linocut vinyl by Richeson Art. Anyway, getting into the play mode I decided to make a texture plate out of the pieces left over from the carving. It worked GREAT!
Here is the new video. Please subscribe, join me over on Google+ Vicki Ross (firstname.lastname@example.com), let me know what you think!
To read original post, click HERE!
Continuing to complete the 6"x6" square, row by row. It started to look tribal, so I decided to stick with that. Short video, showing the design process. I used Rubber Plumber's Pack available in home improvement stores and Speedball Linocut Tools.
The print on this row was with a Crayola marker. I discovered that I could take a bit more time to apply my color variations because these are water-based. I took one print quickly, then spritzed with water and got another ghost print.
The video is Here. And while you are at it, subscribe! Creativity needs encouragement...

I just LOVE research! In fact, sometimes I think that is my waterloo...then inspiration strikes, and I'm back in the studio giving it a go.
This material is rubber pack, made for plumbers. I found mine at Lowes, 6x6" $1.99. It carves beautifully! Softer than the Speedball Speedy Carve (the pink stuff). Here is my latest video carving Row #2 (Row #1 wasn't filmed).
Click HERE to view original post
I've been having a ball on Google+ . The art communities are so focused and interactive. One of the groups had a flurry of activity on carving stamps on Speedy-carve (speedball). I went on to experiment with woodcut and linocut. The material I used for the woodcut was recycled from rubber stamp mounts. The grey stuff in this video was Richeson vinyl Lino-like material. Then, I tried plumber's pack. It may be my favorite of all!
This video is in two parts on YouTube:

Follow the links to go around the world and find wonderful art and artists. Be sure to subscribe to their blogs and follow their social networks...I'm sure they will do the same back to you!
Blog & website: Kelly Dombrowski Art
I'm inviting two artists I've met online, and have great admiration for:
A fabulous mixed media artist, who sent me a piece of her original art for correctly identifying a mystery organic item last summer.
Terri's Blog: http://terrisproul.blogspot.com
Terri is a mixed media artists who has a loyal group of followers. She graciously conducts a live demonstration on Tuesday nights. She is one of the featured artists on my Printable Collage Sheets product HERE
Now to introduce myself, Vicki (and Wicki and Victoria, my alter-egos):
Something new every day! New technique, new mark-making tools, interspersed with actual color work. Lately I've been designing printable collage sheets, and you can see them here. Next color session I will show my subscribers how I use these elements in my Mixed Media Art.
My work focuses on my own creative mark-making. I create my own stencils and stamps...learning to do woodcut stamps because I love the different marks they make contrasted with typical rubber stamps, my own abstracted backgrounds made with Gelli Prints or textured colors. My representational art is more realism, my mixed media art more abstract. The abstract is harder for me.
If I could answer that, I'd be able to predict what is coming next! I seem to hibernate in January and February, and hit the studio running in March with some new media I want to explore (I don't ever NOT go in the studio). 2014 started with a Crowdfunding campaign that kickstarted Over and Over Again: Variations with Repetition. As I completed these "littles" I started adding more and more mixed media: dryer lint, modeling paste, collage, etc. Encaustic was something i was very curious about, so that overlapped the project. I was able to use my pastels, oils, and love of ephemera with the encaustic. That was a natural crossover to printmaking, journaling, bookmaking and collage. I may work a year or more in a particular genre before moving on, or going back to previous media or techniques.
I spent 25+ years as a graphic designer, so combining elements to tell a story is second nature to me. However, now I am creating art, not marketing materials and advertising! I pretty much research anything art related in the evenings, and the next day pick up whatever my Muse is curious about. Scientific, huh? Some weeks I spend more time researching, and some are an assortment. My painting evolves when I can sever my computer curiosity and social buzz.
I've had fun visiting all the other artists participating in this Blog Hop! Join us!
This printable is from a vintage hanky collected by Teiko Kazama Ross, my late mother-in-law. So perfect, with its original folds intact, I photographed it and folded it back. It will find its way into the collection already passed on to Betsy Ross Noble.

This hanky has been used as inspiration for me, along with several other items from her stash in a still life painting I did named "Phoenix". Full of symbolism from the Jessi Coulter lyrics hand printed on tromp l'oeil notepaper, the sticky note with a quote from Harry Potter, the ivory phoenix, the handblown mini-vase with the blue 'tear', to the candle mounted in a vintage candle holder and Japanese tea cup. The hanky provides the perfect grounding for this tableau. The baby Phoenix rising from the ashes is a crowning touch. ©Vicki Ross, Pastel on sanded board, 20" x 18". collection the artist.
