Recent Panama reviews
"My husband and I spent a month here and we really loved it. There are ten units on the property, so it wasn't crowded, and we got to know a few of our neighbours. The pool was amazing. Very big, and very clean. The location is just a ten minute drive to the shops and services in Coronado, and a quiet beach is never far away - if you can drag yourself away from the pool! There is a nicely equipped gym and a bar beside the pool as well. The caretaker, Mike was incredibly helpful and kind enough to let us use his computer and printer when we bought our car. He goes above and beyond. This resort is one we will visit again for sure."Guest: Joyce M. Date of Stay: December 2015 Review Submitted: February 2, 2016View listing
"We went there for our Easter Holidays, with 3 kids. Weather was great though too windy this time of the year, but had a great time. Beach is great, although there is not much shade/bohios, recommend taking your own sun umbrella. Other option is the excellent laguna and all the activities it offers, we really enjoyed it and will go back when possible! Thanks John for your prompt response! Good job of the conserjes as well."Guest: Tatiana D. Date of Stay: March 2016 Review Submitted: March 28, 2016View listing
"Casa Oceana is lovely house. It's well equipped with everything you might need...kitchenware, blender, utensils, lots of towels. The house was clean & we had no maintenance issues. The bed is comfortable; the AC works well. My favourite part of the house was the large deck...it's the perfect place to lounge & enjoy the sounds of the jungle any time of the day. The house is close enough to Bocas Town to access restaurants & activities, but far enough away to be quiet & peaceful. The yard was beautiful, full of birds & was regularly visited by a troop of howler monkeys. The caretaker, Javier, is a great resource for learning about the area & arranging tours. He'll even order pizza for you when you can't be convinced to leave the deck & your Spanish isn't good enough to give directions to the delivery guy! He will help as much or as little as you want. Tera, the property owner, was super easy to communicate with right from my first inquiry. Even when our arrival was delayed & I was emailing from El Salvador, she was always quick to respond. We enjoyed our stay in Bocas del Toro; it's a funky, quirky bit of tropical fun! If/when we return, we'll definitely stay at Casa Oceana again. Highly recommended!"Guest: TamaraLyn Y.

"This was our 4th summer in Panama and 2nd stay in this condo. For stays in Panama City this condo is a terrific choice. It's in a beautifully renovated building in Casco Viejo with grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and sightseeing all short walks. For trips downtown, we used Uber and never paid more than $2-$3 per ride. Parking is a shortage in this area so better off without a car if possible. Our family of 4 was perfectly comfortable for a week and would have loved to stay longer- it feels like home. Appliances, a/c, furnishings are upgraded. The owners Patty and Rudy are the best hosts. Will return!"Guest: PhilB Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: July 23, 2016View listing

Sony PlayStation TV microconsole to launch across Europe in November
Sony has announced at Gamescom 2014 that it will launch the PlayStation TV in Europe on 15 November.
The PlayStation TV will in fact launch as part of a €99 bundle alongside three digital titles, Sony later confirmed through a tweet, and that gamers in North America can expect the micro-entertainment console to debut for them on 14 October.
Sony, while at E3 earlier this summer, revealed its PlayStation TV, which launched in Japan in Novemeber as the PlayStation Vita TV and extends the PlayStation 4 so gamers can play on another screen in a different room, will use the same system as the Playstation Vita TV. Encased in a 6.5cm x 10.5cm slim unit, it is expected to ship with 1GB of internal storage plus ports for Ethernet, USB, Vita game cards, Vita memory cards, and support for Wi-Fi.
PlayStation TV will let gamers access hundreds of titles originally released for the PlayStation, PS One, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita. In the same way that users can play most PS4 games on the screen of their PlayStation Vita, owners of the PlayStation TV will be able to play games over the local network. It will also feature Remote Play support, meaning the PlayStation TV will stream video games - like the PlayStation Vita - from the PlayStation 4 console.
Sony said the PlayStation TV will even work with both the Dualshock 3 and 4 controllers.

A 15-year-old Boerperd stallion presented for thyroid enlargement associated with inappetance. Ultrasonographic examination of the thyroid gland revealed an enlarged left lobe, which, on cytological examination, contained numerous anaplastic cells. A mixed C cell microfollicular thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed following histopathological examination of the excisional biopsy specimen. In order to determine metastasis, pulmonary radiographs revealed a poorly-marginated soft tissue opacity caudo-dorsal to the cardiac silhouette. Thyroid and pulmonary scintigraphy was performed comparing 99mTc-sestamibi with 99mTc-pertechnetate and no metastasis was detectable. Following hemithyroidectomy, the stallion made a full recovery without the need for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Six months later, repeated thyroid and pulmonary scintigraphy using 99mTc-sestamibi was normal.

The "Koch-sperts" must have had a hand in the creation of the RNC Platform, because the list of ALEC-approved policies in the platform is stunning.
The Republican platform eviscerates the "hard working American," denying workers of their right to unionize while targeting vulnerable communities.

BLUE BELL, Pa., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS), a longtime provider of high-volume messaging solutions to the world's leading telecommunications services providers, today announced the two newest members of the Unisys VoiceSource Express (VSE) family of communications platforms: the high-end VSE420 and the entry-level VSE46.
The VSE420 provides an ideal solution for large telecom providers serving tens of millions of subscribers, while the VSE46 is designed for smaller providers in regions where mobile use is rapidly expanding – especially Latin America and Africa.
The Unisys VSE communications solutions help telecommunications providers grow revenue by providing integration with social media networks, advanced call control and mobile advertising, among other key capabilities.
The solutions can also combine with Unisys Stealth Solution for cybersecurity to offer regional and international communications providers a secure, scalable, economical way to provide new value-added services to their consumer and enterprise customers.
"We continue to expand Unisys solutions to help telecom providers generate new revenue, while continuing to reduce cost per subscriber through powerful, highly scalable VSE systems," said Steven Chuey, vice president, Global Communications Solution Management, Unisys. "The new VSE420 platform provides scalability that our competitors are hard-pressed to match, while the new VSE46 provides the same cost-effective solution for smaller service providers. In addition, our innovative service development environment provides fast prototyping and testing so telcos can speed up the time-to-market for new subscriber services."
New Solutions Benefit from Advanced Architecture and Security Technology
Based on Unisys ClearPath server technology using powerful high-end members of the Intel® Xeon® Processor family, the VSE420 and VSE46 provide highly scalable, fully redundant solutions. The platforms significantly reduce footprint and power consumption, resulting in better data center performance per watt and lower operating expenses.
Each VSE420 server can support up to 8 million subscribers, and up to 24 million subscribers in a three-system cluster. Multiple VSE clusters enable support for far larger numbers of subscribers.
The VSE46 platform provides a cost-effective entry level system that supports up to 2.5 million subscribers per system. As with the VSE420, clustering provides the scalability required for growth.
The VSE420 and VSE46 platforms continue to provide Unisys' rich suite of messaging services, including visual voicemail for iPhone, Android, and Windows devices; advanced notification services such as Missed Calls and Call Me Now presence notification; Find Me/Follow Me for call delivery anywhere; Voice SMS and MMS services; voice-to-text translation of messages sent to subscribers via e-mail, SMS, MMS, social media sites or the web; and posting of messages to Facebook and Twitter from any mobile device.
The VSE solutions enable providers to add innovative features to services, such as automatic reverse call, reverse SMS, intelligent 0800 call routing, sponsor calls, mobile ad insertion and multi-channel broadcast/interactive marketing campaigns.
Providers can use Unisys Stealth Solution in conjunction with Unisys VSE solutions. Unisys Stealth conceals applications and associated information from hackers. Combining VSE with Stealth, providers can implement highly secure connectivity for sensitive applications and communities of interest – groups of people authorized to share information, with that information protected from unauthorized use by members of another community.
(Click here for further information on how Unisys Stealth Solution protects sensitive data.)
Unisys will showcase the new VSE solutions at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Spain, February 25-28.

DALLAS (AP) – Open now for 100 days, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Dallas has drawn more than 170,000 visitors.
Officials say that's a pace to reach their most optimistic first-year attendance target of 500,000.
Former first lady Laura Bush tells The Dallas Morning News the museum performance has gone even better than expected. And she says she's pleased to see the landscaping has taken hold despite the Texas heat and drought.
Museum and library director Alan Lowe says problems generally have been the result of the public's enthusiasm. A parking attendant had to be hired to help visitors and ticket procedures have been tweaked. He says the many interactive exhibits at the museum have worked well.
The presidential museum at Southern Methodist University opened May 1.

Lessons (In Business)
That's me, being genuinely happy
The past few months has been very interesting and busy months for me. Through it all, there were some lessons that I learned and would like to share.
Lesson #1
How not to run a business
I was unemployed for 2 years. Last year, I ended up getting two jobs, The first was a temp, the second, ended up being a full-time which I got due to my (as she put it) great customer service skills. I loved the temp job so much so that I was at work at 7am when I didn't have to be until 9am. Unfortunately, when I started the full-time job, I couldn't keep up with the temp job because the hours went well into the night and my full-time job required me to be there at 7am.
Getting to the point:
At the end of April, I quit.
Now you may be saying, okay this girl is crazy. She went from unemployed to two jobs back to unemployed. She must not like to eat!
GIRRRLLLL! It's quite the opposite.
However, everyday was confrontational. Everyday was some new drama. EVERYDAY, it pained me to get up and go to a place that I hated much more than I hated prune juice. The way they treated customers/lack of customer service, the don't care attitude, the accusations. It felt as if the business was taken for a joke. The family feuds, the lying and deceiving... the throw everything on Eesh, never-mind the fact that she does HR, not Accounts. (yeah I had to plug that one in). The way they treated the employees, who, let's be honest if you're in a service industry, are the backbone of your company!
Lesson #2
Customer Service is a MAJOR KEY!
After resigning, I decided to focus once again on my online boutique that only caters to full-figured women.
I've always been able to get along with almost anyone...and anyone that I didn't get along with was just being plain old difficult (yep it's not my fault haha). But after being in the service industry for so long, I've developed a passion for customer service.
Usually, when I'm putting together customer orders, I'd slip a handwritten note on pretty stationary into the customer bags to thank them because without them, I wouldn't be able to eat, literally. Before I started this, I asked around for opinions. Of course, you're going to have your occasional Debbie Downer who outright told me that it was tacky.
"You need to get those printed" she said. "Most (beauty) companies I see have them printed."
Well ma'am, I don't have most (beauty) companies money or line staff. Besides, I prefer to be more personable and thoughtful when it comes to my customers and guess what?
Lesson #3
Your employee gets paid no matter what
Okay so I might have been slightly exaggerating when I said I'm able to eat.
Noodles still count right?
This was perhaps the biggest lesson of all.
I made a decent profit from my business since the two weeks we've been in production. I was pretty proud of myself, until I remembered that I had an employee to pay.
Oy vay!
Bye-bye profit.
Reality is, no matter what, you can't tell your employee that you can't pay them because you didn't make the money or you won't have any money left. That's really not their problem. They performed a service and now you have to pay for it.
So before I paid myself, I had to make sure that she was paid and happy because, honestly, I need her.
I feel like God lets us go through things so that we can gain experience and learn and grow and come back stronger than ever before. We just have to be willing to accept the blessing in the lesson.
Happy Hump Day Darlings!

Facebook said it will only permit developers to monetize their applications using ads from third-party networks it pre-approves. The move is designed to give Facebook the ability to more closely control advertiser content that users are exposed to through the site.
The social network has introduced a list of ad providers that have agreed to its Platform Terms for Advertising Providers, which other ad networks must agree to before running ads in applications on the site.
"Developers must only use services from companies that appear on this list, any other provider is prohibited," the company said, adding, "We hope that by providing this list of companies that have acknowledged their commitment to advertising quality that we can all foster a better user experience."
To date, the list of 14 approved providers includes RockYou, Underdog Media, and Tapjoy. Interestingly it currently omits Google's AdSense and SocialVibe's network, which runs ads alongside popular Zynga games including FarmVille and Café World.
Those networks must agree to the advertiser terms to continue serving ads into applications, Facebook implied. Since the terms have only just been introduced, however, it's unclear when or if Facebook will begin enforcing the requirements. At present ads from SocialVibe are still appearing in FarmVille, for example, despite the fact the network is not yet an approved provider.
Facebook has faced criticism this past year for allowing applications to transmit user data to other third parties and advertising partners. The new terms suggest the company is hoping to keep closer tabs on the way its users' data is being used.
The company attracted the attention of U.S. regulators earlier this year when news emerged that users' Facebook IDs were being transmitted to advertisers through various applications.
The terms now appear to expressly prohibit the transfer of that type of data, requiring an approved ad provider to ensure that "it does not use any data received (directly or indirectly) from Facebook. The Advertising Provider further certifies that it does not possess any data obtained from Facebook, including user data, Facebook User IDs or usernames, and agrees to prevent the receipt of such data in the future."

JOHN LABAK, or CANTON, omo.
Specification of Letters Patent.
.Application led. August 27, 1920, Serial No. 406,270. Renewed October 3, 1921. Serial No. 505,114.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that LJOHN LABAK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Starkand State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Air-Motor Devices for Bicycles, of which the following is a specification.
Thisinvention relates to bicycles and has for its object the provision of a bicycle equipped with an air motor driven by compressedv air stored in a reservoir tank by pumping means actuated during the coasting o f the bicycle down hill, the air assisting 'in thepropulsion Aof the bicycle under normal conditions.
An important object is the provision of a bicycle which is designed to be initially started by pedal means and which has associated with the rear wheel axle a plurality of pumps forV compressing air within a storage tank and provided with means whereby either or both pumps may be rendered inoperative, the storage tank being provided lwith an outlet control valve whereby to control the speedof the airmotor, this valve being -controlled by a movable grip on the handle bars.
An additional object is the provision of a device of this character which will' be comparatively simple and inexpensive in manufacture, highly eilicient and laborrsaving in use, and a general improvement in the art.
With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists inA the' details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described yand claimed and illustratedin "the accompanying drawingsin which,- f
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bicycle constructed in accordance withV my invenn f tion,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View,
i Figure 3 is a cross sectional view through the rear wheel showing the pump actuating means, and
`Figa is asectional detail view.
Referring' more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 10 designates the frame Iwhich is of the customary shape and which 'has its various bars formed hollow. The
numeral 11 designates the front wheel carried by the usual fork 12 journaled through the head 13. The fork is controlled by the usual handle bars 14, one of which is-provided with a movable grip 15. The numeral 16 designates the rear wheel having an .axle 17.
The frame is provided with the usual crank anger 18 having pedals 19 and equipped with a sprocket 2O about which is trained a chain 21 leading around a sprocket 22 on the rear wheel. The axle of the rear wheel is provided with any of the well knownY or any preferred type of coaster brake, details of which are believed to be unnecessary.
Located at the bottom portion of the frame is .a compressed air motor 23 which has an inletpipe 24 leading from a compressed air storage tank 25 supporting thereabove and this pipe 241 is provided with a control valve 26 operatively connected with the movable grip 15 whereby the valve may be opened to the desired extent. Located near the handle bars is a suitable air gage 27 which communicates with the uppermost hollow bar of the frame 10 and it will be observed that this hollow bar communicates with the front hollow bar 10l which in turn communicates with the tank 25.
Mounted below the upper portion of the frame 10 is a pump v28 whichhas its piston 29 connected by apitman V30 with an eccentric 31 on the rear axle 17, the pitman carrying an ordinary eccentric strap 30a engaging-within a'groove in the. eccentric. The pump: cylinder 28 communicates with the lupper hollow bar 10 of the frame through a pipe 28EL provided with a check valve 28h. Supported at the rear of the frame above the rear wheel is a second air pump 32 which has its piston 33 connected by a pitman 34 with a second eccentric 35 on the rear axle, the pitman carrying an ordinary eccentric strap 3413 engaging with a groove in the eccentric 35.
The rear hub A is provided with any suitable or preferred coaster brakemechanism whereby the sprocket 22 may be heldstationary and the machine be allowed to coast. This coaster brake mechanism is not illustrated as it is so well known in the art that Patented Mar. 21, 1922.
it forms no part of the present invention. The letter B designates the end of the rear hub adjacent the sprocket and which serves to partially enclose whatever coaster brake mechanism might be employed.
Both the eccentrics 31 and 35 are loose upon the other end C of the hub and the eccentrics are normally spaced apart by means of a flange 36 extending` laterally from the eccentric 31. The end C of the hubV is prolonged as shown to form ample bearing for the eccentrics 31 and 35 and so as to extend outwardly beyond the eccentric 31. The eccentric 31 isformed within the fiange `36 with a series of notches 37 while the eccentric is similarly provided at its internal periphery with notches 38 adapted to register with the notches 37. The two series of notches or recesses constitute clutch elements as will be hereinafter. explained. Slidable `upon the outermost'portion of the hub at the end C is a grooved collar 39 with which are connected a plurality of rods 40 slidable longitudinally of the hub within grooves 4l. The free ends ofthese' rods 41 the notches 37 and which are capable of being likewise engaged within the notches 38. A shifting ring 43 is disposed within the `groove of the collar 39 and has connected therewith one arm 44 of an angle lever piv- `upon therearmost one of the intermediate l frame bars as shown at 49. VThe upperend oftheV lever 48 has pivotally connected therey with a forwardly extending rod 50 which is pivotally connected with a shifting lever 51 disposed near the forward frame bar 10a.
. 4 .In the operationof the device the operator ordinarily pedals'the bicycle by means of the pedals 19 in the usual manner which results in actuation of the pumps-28 and 32 and air will `be compressed therebyand Stored within the tank 25, it being `under-V stood that this time thecontrol valve 26 is `closed to-retain the air within thetanln `When the `rider comes to 4a hillV which he `must ascend he opens thejvalve 26.where uponrthe `compressed Vair Awill actuate the `motor 23 wliichwillfdrive the rear wheel of jthe bicycle. If suflicient quantity of air `has been compressed within the storage tank ,it is possiblethatthe motor will be able to drive the bicycle entirely by itself :and if the qilfantity be insuflicient the motor'willat 69 Lleastassist in'drivingtliebicycle so that the c aetualyelfortonthe part of the driverywill be minimized. .As the rearhub is lequipped-` with anordinary coaster brake device,it ,will `be1apparentthat `when the riderydescends a hill he may hold .his feet stationary and the coasting of the bicycle will of course result in actuation of the pump and storage of compressed air within theytank.
" lt should bestated that the eccentric 3l is formed at the innermost portion of its `inner periphery with an annular channel 52 which leads `into the notches 37. The purpose of this construction is as follows Vilhen the operator shifts thelever 51 and consequently moves, the angle `levers 44 and 4G and shifts thecollar Qt-omove, thek rod 40 in one direction the keys 42 will engage only within the notches 38 of the cam oreccentric 35. It is apparent that theA eccentric 35 V.is the only one which will then be driven operated and the device maybe pedaled in the ordinary manner withoutany more. dificulty than any other-bicycle. Owing to the peculiar construction of this mechanismen the rear axleit is apparent that vthe coaster brake mechanism might be dispensedwith so that it is preferable to have it included.
While l have shownand described the` preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of course tobe understood that I reserve the right to make such changes inthe form, construction, and `air-rangement of parts as .will
not depart from the spirit ofthe invention or thescope of the subjoined claims.
Y Having thus described my invention, I claim:

"GAH tweaks the superhero genre with an ironic wink but stops just shy of kitsch; there are actually genuine moments of dramatic tension..."
Product Description:
Created by well-known TV executive Stephen J. Cannell (HUNTER, THE A-TEAM, 21 JUMP ST.), THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO was an acclaimed show that was cancelled before its time. ABC seemed unsure how to market the show's blend of superhero action with comedy, which seems prescient in regards to later superhero satires like MYSTERY MEN and THE INCREDIBLES. Ralph Hinkley is a normal high school teacher who has a close encounter of the third kind, and is rewarded with a super-powered pajama suit. The problem is, he doesn't quite know how to work the thing. Gung-ho FBI agent Bill Maxwell knows Ralph's secret, and with his connections and the help of girlfriend Pam, Ralph travels around the world to save the day. The unfairly cancelled spoof can now be re-appreciated after years as a cult curiosity.

Like much of the tidings brought to us by the best of our sober-eyed critics, his forecast for the future of the republic and the welfare of its coming generations is not hopeful.

Teddy may very well be a good luck charm.
July 18, 1964Pete Rose blasts his first big league grand slam, a fifth inning shot off Dallas Green in the Reds' 14-3 rout of Philadelphia. The homer will be 'Charlie Hustle's' only grand slam among his major league record 4,256 hits.
Bye, bye bat.
On this date in 1935, Major League Baseball held its first night game. The Reds were looking for a way to increase attendance so owner Powel Crosley decided to try night games to appeal to people who were at work all day. As Crosley threw the switch at Crosley Field President Roosevelt, via wire, did the same at the White House and a new era in baseball began. The Reds beat the Phillies 2 – 1 in this historic game.
Happy Opening Day, y'all!

Today the North and South Poles are home to research stations and film crews, but just a century ago they were forbidding lands seldom seen by human eyes. Those who journeyed there were the last true explorers, and one of the most successful ever was Roald Amundsen. Known as andldquo;the last of the Vikings,andrdquo; the Norwegian-born Amundsen began his career of adventure at age fifteen and by forty had become the first man to successfully navigate the Northwest Passage, and to reach both the North and South Poles.
As a girl, Lynne Cox read of Amundsenandrsquo;s exploits, which inspired her to follow her own adventurous dreams of open-water swimming. Here, she gives an account of Amundsenandrsquo;s life and expeditions while detailing her own experiences swimming (without a wetsuit) in the same polar regions he first explored. At once a biography, history, and memoir, South with the Sun holds something for any lover of adventure.
andldquo;Not to miss . . . It's fascinating to read about the Norwegian hardman through the eyes of Cox.andrdquo;andmdash;Outside
Lynne Cox started swimming almost as soon as she could walk. By age sixteen, she had broken all records for swimming the English Channel. Her daring eventually led her to the Bering Strait, where she swam five miles in thirty-eight-degree water in just a swimsuit, cap, and goggles. In between those accomplishments, she became the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, narrowly escaped a shark attack off the Cape of Good Hope, and was cheered across the twenty-mile Cook Strait of New Zealand by dolphins. She even swam a mile in the Antarctic.
Lynne writes the same way she swims, with indefatigable spirit and joy, and shares the beauty of her time in the water with a poet's eye for detail. She has accomplished yet another feat--writing a new classic of sports memoir.
It was the dark of early morning; seventeen-year-old Lynne Cox was swimming her last half mile back to the pier after a long workout when she became aware that something was swimming with her. The ocean was charged with energy as if a squall was moving in; whatever it was felt large enough to be a white shark coursing beneath her body. In fact, it was a baby gray whale. Lynne quickly realized that if she swam back to the pier, the young calf would follow her to shore and die from collapsed lungs. On the other hand, if Lynne didnand#8217;t find the mother whale, the baby would suffer from dehydration and starve to death. Something so enormousand#8212;the mother whale would be at least fifty feet longand#8212;suddenly seemed very small in the vast Pacific Ocean. This is the storyand#8212;part mystery, part magical taleand#8212;of what happened.

About this design:
More scary earring pics! So hard to get a good photo! Anyway, more ocean inspired earware.
The Czech glass is either Peruvian Opal or Beach Glass...either way, there's alot more yellow going on than meets the eye. Didn't realize it until last night's Art Walk...but it's all good!
Components:Patina'd brass blanks, Czech glass, and brass earwires.

Just love your patina work! The pop of green in the corner of the czech glass, really pop out that color in your patina work. Another gorgeous pair of earrings Susie!
Love these, too!! I haven't made earrings or patina'ed anything in awhile but these have just given me a kick in the butt and some ideas!
Art Walk? Do tell!
Very pretty. How do you apply the patina? drop a bit and let it roll around?
And buff the areas that you want highlighted?
Thanks Wanda and Becky!
Art Walk….Let's see…Gulfport is often considered to be an Artist Colony. There are many resident artists, and the Industrial Arts Center, plus lots of galleries along Beach Boulevarde.
Gulfport has a First Friday and 3rd Saturday Art Walk every month that features local artisans at an evening festival from 6-10PM. As of late, some of it is pretty trashy, so the city is attempting to revamp it all, with the 1st Friday being Fine Arts Friday…that is my goal for next month. And Geckofest….an Arts and Crafts festival to celebrate the end of summer..10A to 10P, with 30K expected attendess. I'd love to have some visitors for that one!(hint hint).
Anyway, the green in the Czech glass squares was really yellow under the halogen lights at the Art Walk last night. The booth looked beautiful in all that light, but I forgot to take a picture!
Hi Peggy! I use a paper plate to combine my patina colors. I like a pea sized drop of color to a nickle sized drop of patina glaze and extender. Then I use a wet brush to apply a base color, and dab the other colors to the blank. I tilt the blank in different directions to achieve the tie dye affect.
I love the colors you used. Simply stunning.
An art walk sounds like loads of fun, I wish they had something like that around here!
Love them…I love the embossing so much. Want a Big Kick!!! As usual your patina is fantastic.
Pretty and dramatic. Wearing these would bring lots of compliments.
I admire what you do with metals…so pretty.
I am loving all your patina piece…this is so lovely! We used to have so many arts/crafts things around here, and its dwindled down to a few. I wish we still had them all.
Ooops….make that PIECES! Its been a long day! LOL
What cool earrings!
You are doing a great job with this technique. It is one of my favorites, too.
You have clearly perfected your patina technique, Susie ! These are yet another pair of stunning earrings – - -
The art walk sounds like a blast and you're certainly doing your part in bringing the standards up! Love these!
Love these earrings!

I'm lovin these,E.M!

Catherine Deneuve stars as Carol Ledoux, a Belgian manicurist living with her sister, Helen (Yvonne Furneaux), in a London flat. Simultaneously attracted and repulsed by sex, Carol is a virgin who finds her sister's relationship with a married man, Michael (Ian Hendry), extremely disturbing. When her sister and Michael go on holiday, Carol begins to disintegrate mentally, hallucinating bizarre encounters, being forced into taking a sabbatical from her job and ultimately committing a pair of murders in her deranged state. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
