Paper Dress by Susan Stockwell
The detail of the map on the bodice is like the embellishment of embroidery or a necklace.
The blue of the ocean on a map is used as blue ruffles.
Photographed in the London art gallery Studio Caparrelli by Sean Myers. The map dress is by Susan Stockwell. Via Lori Langille via Desire to Inspire.
Les Indiennes Fabric
The company is quick to send out a copy of their catalog. It is very well designed. The catalog is also on line.
Les Indiennes
Solemnity of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
These words “heart speaks to heart” can first be understood as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Heart of God, speaking to our heart, calling us to holiness, leading and guiding us to the Father.
The line, “heart speaks to heart”, was not even original to the Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman. May 30, will mark the 161st anniversary of Newman’s ordination to the priesthood which took place in Rome on May 30, 1847. Newman borrowed it for his motto when he was named a cardinal in 1879, from a letter written by the great 17th century spiritual writer and Bishop of Geneva, Saint Francis de Sales.

White on White
These rooms are better for me than the recent post of White on White with the blond furniture. This room has the blond door, but the weight of the tub counters the lightness. The dark door handle also counters the lightness.

White on White
This is a beautiful staircase, but I can see myself falling off because I tripped going up.
The blond wood is a departure from the very dark that Art and I normally are attracted to. These people must entertain a lot as there are so many tables and chairs.
Three sets of tables and chairs all within 10 feet or less of each other?
The Style Files was one of the first blogs that I discovered and still one of my favorites. The items showcased are much more modern than I normally like, but the designs are clean.

The God of Abraham
Judaism.
The type within the shapes is nice and especially within the animal. The use of red type and larger point size is very graphic.

Different size pages within a book always intrigues me. I wonder if these were different copies that have been compiled by a single person. What is the story of this book?
Christianity.
Christianity.
La Bibliothèque Nationale de France have a large website for their current exhibition: Livres de Parole ('Book of the Word') - Torah, Bible, Coran and the selection here were taken from the image bank thumbnail pages pertaining to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There is a lot to see; the site is in French but visuals are visuals no matter the language.

Dark floors, white walls with a touch of caramel furniture. The gray doors on a track are the best though and take this room to the next level. Part of that may be the metal hardware that adds another element. The shadow between the panels add a subtle stripe to the white walls and the ceiling. The railing on the stairs is a repeat of the stripe in the walls. The gray beams repeat the door color. The coloration of this room reminds me of Darryl Carter's rooms in his Virginia house.
A room the width of the sofa. The yellow sides and cushion are an unusual combination with the rest of the sofa. It is hard to tell the color of the sofa and walls. I like the three flat cushion on the seat.

Things Have Change
Bob Dylan - Things Have Changed
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train
[Bridge #1:]
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose
[Chorus:]
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
[Bridge #2:]
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
[Chorus]
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
[Bridge #3:]
Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street
[Chorus]
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me
[Bridge #4:]
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
[Chorus]
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Not only are the pieces interesting, but also the boxes are so diverse in their construction.
Images from Web Museum.
John Derian
The shelves are dried mushroom fungus that are mounded. Of course, the natural items that are displayed on the shelves are beautiful and one of the attractions for me. The other items keep it from being monotonous. The cow painting and the small gold frame in the lower right corner are delightful. The items are in John Derian's shop.
The question is do I still have some dried fungus like these in the studio? Do I do something like this or just keep the photo as a reminder of ideas?

William Christenberry
This image is on the cover of the book William Christenberry published by Aperature. I look at it in passing everyday. The colors look richer on the book and not as garish as they do on the computer.

Calligraphy Portraits
The broken red lines and the patch of blue in the corner add interest and richness to this piece.
Do any of these people look happy? Are they trapped within the confines of the letter that encircles them?
