 have now printed the orange section; and later I will overprint with the black.

You can see why I used the title Unintended progression - one thing just led to another.
I'm making a stash of patinated copper leaves for the DEP galley-shop. It has been quite some time since I have made copper fold formed leaves. I'm making some that measure about 12-13cm in length; and another batch about 19cm in length.
Warning process photos follow.
I will give the leaves a coat of matt varnish to fix the patina; the leaves will then need a grinfg to get rid of sharp edges and create a few bits of raw copper highlights - maybe I will get to that over the weekend.
It was too cold and windy for a walk this morning so photo are of the light in the valley; and some of Graham's micro orchids etc.
Photos of the gorgeous winter dawn light - the very clear cold air seems to produce the blue and pink layers - it only lasts for about 15 minutes.
Some of those orchids.

I committed to making seven sets of business card sized inspirational word cards. Whilst I did this as you will see from the photos following, I did get side tracked by the gorgeous purple and the gold dusting powder. I decided to try the colour and the dust on black cards that were left over from one of Fiona's earlier jobs. I was delighted in the beauty of the contrast of the colours. As I said in the heading to this blog it was almost like the words were emerging out of the dark paper.
I decided to do a limited run of hope, peace and shine - words we need in these challenging times.
And those photos of the other inspirational words on 300gsm white cotton paper.
Fiona's dad (Graham) does a lot to encourage action in folk - I asked him if he would like a stash of shalom cards to give out since I was on a printing roll.
Fiona asked me to do a print test on some old beermat coasters to see how they would come out if you printed them on all siders - interesting word coasters emerge.
Although everyone present at the 62nd Grammy Awards was saddened by the untimely and unfortunate death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant, in the end, it was all about music.
This spectacular evening was marked by several unbelievable moments that made the Grammy Awards an unforgettable one. Here is a list of some of those terrific highlights from the biggest musical night of the year.
1. Lizzo’s incredible show opener!
The 62nd Grammy Awards was kicked off by Lizzo dedicating the evening to Kobe Bryant who sadly died just hours before in an unfortunate helicopter crash. She opened the evening by singing her title track from the album ‘Cuz I Love You’ which later won the Best Urban Contemporary Album award. Lizzo also took home two other Grammys.
2. Billie Eilish takes home FIVE Grammys!
That’s right! Billie Eilish swept away almost all the major awards of the night – best new artist, best song, the record of the year, the best pop vocal album as well as the album of the year. She also performed a stripped-down version of ‘When The Party’s Over’ that reminded us of what truly emotional and raw performance with pure talent and without any background dancers or sets looks and feels like.
3. Lil Nas X, Nas and BTS set the stage on fire!
Lil Nas X, along with Billy Ray Cyrus, performs his smash hit ‘Old Town Road’. But that wasn’t it. The stage was shining with outlandish sets and of course the boys from BTS who also joined in on the performance. The real showcase was when the original Nas brought real hip-hop to the stage from the streets of New York and showed everyone how it’s actually done.
4. Camila Cabello dedicates her performance to her father!
Camila Cabello raised the emotional quotient of the night by singing a song to her father, Alejandro Cabello, who sat teary-eyed amongst the audience. She descended the stage approaching her father while singing and pictures of her childhood adorned the stage on a screen behind her. Many were reminded of the Bryant family by this hearty and soulful performance.
Artists John Legend, Kirk Franklin, Meek Mill, Roddy Ricch and YG honoured the late Nipsey Hussle through their performances. The late rapper, who succumbed to death in March, posthumously won the best rap performance award for his track ‘Racks in the Middle’.
The Grammy Awards 2020 was filled with debut performances, tributes and waves of sadness over the unbelievably unfortunate death of Kobe Bryant. Furthermore, the event taking place in Staples Center, the home of Lakers Legend, moved everyone and struck their emotional chords.

There is no reason we should always be using 130 traps. PL 77 for non damage and PL 106 for damage works for any mission in twine.

The reliance on 130+ god rolls is ridiculous, most players years ago could barely scrape together enough 106s for their twine 10 SSD, now people use 130s in canny. 

Frankly I’m worried for typical players only getting exposed inefficient builds. There was a time where lobbies spent the time to path and tunnel husks so traps got used to maximum capacity. Everyone is so rich with mats, We are forgetting the barebones scrape together mats efficiently gameplay.

Side note, this game is also about heroes, and 2 good players can win any mission without traps.HARD TO FIND LOW MILE HONDA FIT SPORT!!
Only 82,000 miles on this CLEAN TITLE 5-Speed that is CARFAX CERTIFIED TOO!
Truly a Japanese car actually built in Japan. Most built in US or Mexico.....and proof is in the pudding....Japanese built is of higher tolerance and quality.
-Full compliment of owners manuals.
What else is there to say but a nice car at a fair price!If you are following along this Lent season with the Steps Of Justice prayer & action guide you know that today is a day on hunger. For this, the first Monday of Lent and day one in the guide we give up food as a sacrifice to pray and remember those who have none. We do this action of going without food is so that we can feel a bit of what it is like to be in the peoples shoes that we are Doing Justice for. This may and probably will be a challenging day for you, but be encouraged, going today without food and praying for those dying for lack of it will give you Gods heart and compassion.
An estimated 1.02 billion people in the world go hungry. Each year, three million children under the age of five die because they are undernourished. Far more children live with malnutrition than die from it. For infants and young children, the effects of chronic malnutrition in the early years of life are almost always irreversible. In the United States, over 49 million people, including 16.7 million children, live in households that struggle to put food on the table. That means one in seven households in the U.S. are living with hunger or are at risk of hunger.
On this action day, we are challenging you to do both. For one day give up food in remembrance of those who do not have any. The second thing we are asking you to do while you are giving up food is to care for the hungry. Get together with some friends or people in your community and bring some food to people who do not have any. This may be serving at a soup kitchen, buying lunch for a student in school who has none, or sitting with a homeless person on the street and giving them a meal that you made. Use your creativity and ask Jesus who He wants you to bless today. This is the kind of fast He has chosen for you.
At any point during the day please stop by the Steps Of Justice Facebook group and post what God has been doing as you fast the kind of fast that He has chosen for you. Lets encourage and be encouraged by each other.16th century Europe believed heterosexual white skin to be trendy, while at our present-day people love darker, tanned skin. At the nation of Myanmar a very long neck is seen as beautiful and a number of the girls there’ll use rings to extend their necks even farther. In Bolivia, it is believed an attractive solution for women to dress is in skirts with vivid colors and a bowler hat (or bombing) perched on top of their minds. In America many people consider dental services to boost appeal, jumping to buy the most recent teeth cleaning merchandise or going into the dentist’s seat for some cosmetic dentistry. Every one of us has rituals or methods which we follow as we feel more attractive and confident while we do this. At times, however, it’s fantastic to examine our clinics and ensure that our attractiveness customs aren’t doing more harm than good. Following are a few methods that were stopped as a result of health issues, and some who are still ongoing now.
Corsets created a slim shape but wreak havoc on the body’s natural capabilities. Although now worn for adornment than purpose, corsets, or “remains,” were popular from prior to the sixteenth century to the early twentieth century. In that period the form and make
