I am so glad that I got through the major part of my puberty without having major acne issues. Some of the people I went to school with were pretty bad. The most famous acne treatment out was in everyone’s bookbag. I had minimal acne attacks, mostly the one right smack in the middle of my forehead! Why oh why that one had to always be a nuisance I will never understand. Most of the time people would joke that I looked hindu with that thing on my face. Kids can be so cruel

Till I can order my spindle kit. Just a few more days than that and I will be working my first fiber cable through my fingers. I can hardly contain my joy. It is going to be so awesome to learn how my ancestors rolled the yarns and strings that made the things they used every day. Imagine me being able to make a dreamcatcher with strings I made for the middle with my own hands. Just think of how satisfying it will be to produce the gorgeous balls of wool and silk that I see all over the internet myself, then work those fibers into something magnificent!

Here is my Wordless Wednesday for today.
update
I have been knitting like a fiend all day. I am very close to the end of this project. It will be a hat when I am done. Knitting kind of hurts the hand a bit, but I’m starting to get used to it. I can knit pretty quickly already.

I love VanGogh and Dali art. I guess that’s part of why I was drawn to the art by Jean-Claude Picot at Park West at Sea. It is so colorful and eclectic in style. The artist has a unique eye for capturing life and all its nuances. He is able to mix realism and surrealism to find a balance between what we see and what we perceive. There are few artists, in my opinion, that can capture it all in one tight little space. You have to feel these paintings, not just see them. That’s what makes this artist so special.

I’m not talking about girls. I am referring to art. Russian Artist Victor Lysakov is coming to the US of A with his bold paintings. He is a modern expressionist who hides a story behind all his paintings. Prints are available for the paintings you prefer.
What is modern expressionism? I looked up the official definition of the art on answers.com and found that it is not about what the muse looks like, but the emotions that the subject evokes from the painter. So, for instance, if I see a coffin, I might think of it as a beautiful montage of colors from the feeling that it gives me, instead of what others may see. It’’s all subjective to the artist’’s impression and how he or she expresses those feelings.
I love this form of art and make it myself even in poetry. Lysakov is rather adept at getting his feelings out onto the canvas. I think he really is able to capture his every emotion through the strokes of his brush. Take a look around his gallery and let me know what paintings spoke to you. My favorite thus far is Redhead Beauty under Women. I am still looking around, though.

I am thinking about starting a daily chat with my son about other cultures and their customs. He is really interested in China because of their fighting styles, but I want to expand his interests.
What made me think of it? Well, I was reading my friend’s blog and she was talking about multi-cultural day at her school, then the Wiggles were on TV doing a multi-cultural show, and then I found a Russian news blo. They talk about some important aspects of Russian life like business, nightlife, sports, and politics. I learned something new, so I know he will, too. Like who would have thought for the equivalent of over $100 they are eating 12 ounce steaks as a delicacy?

Who else here LOVES Thomas Kinkade’s work? I surely do…I wish I could have him paint me a huge wall sized mural. I can oggle his works as long as I want. I would LOVE to adorn my house with Thomas Kinkade Christmas Gifts, Kinkade art collectibles, Music boxes and whatnot. His lighthouses are so inspiring. The winter scenes bring you into another realm! I really really love this Christmas wreath I fell in love from the moment I laid eyes on it… I keep going back to the site just to stare at it LOL. They have a bunch of other Thomas Kinkade Collectibles available, too. I have always been such a fan of his. Our local bible book store devoted a whole section to Kinkade’s artwork and anything that had his designs. I miss being able to go there and just languish the in the beauty there.
