Crisis

Sigh, which is more beautiful?



Lebanon's Gabrielle Bou Rached?



Or Israel's Anastacia Entin?

"Peace reigns at least at the Miss Universe 2006 contest, where beauties Miss Lebanon and Miss Israel are the "best of friends" despite the bloody fighting between the two countries back home, their companions said." - yahoo source

It's a pretty hard choice there.

Oh Ouzo

Well folks. I went to Columbus Ohio to visit Rachel and to help my father out on the drive. We went to Farmer's Markets and then to the Franklin Park Conservatory. There were a few Chihuly installations layered throughout the botany of the park as well as the organic branching out of Patrick Dougherty.



Dale Chihuly:





And I liked these,







Patrick Dougherty (without titles):







This is my favorite shot though:



There will be more to come now that I'm getting back into the groove of updating the weblog. I'm tired though, and the news is lowering my mood. Expect more tomorrow.

I have much to do before tomorrow's day after arrives. Today with Melissa I bought much art supplies - I almost bought a woodburning kit - for entering my hopelessly cliche cloud franchise. I will try my hand at coasters, tileworks, posters and paintings. On sale, I bought ribbons, paints, and modpodge. They didn't have any stamp making supplies though. I wanted to make little homemade cards to be tied to each cloud that I might sell.





Those are the new tiles. They're still in beta stage and could use a lot more work. I was thinking of washing the tiles in slight blues and teals and then applying the clouds onto that. Or rather applying the colors more evenly, changing the size of each cloud. The tiles are pretty cheap at 14¢ each at Home Depot and they are very easy to 'mass produce.'



Peach is the new Pink-ish. Some 12 new peach clouds dot the cloudscape. There will be more too since I have much peach in my fabric bin - that horrid looking clay pot I made in Sadashi's class. I need to redesign the basic cloud into having more lumps and start encouraging variety besides size. I was also thinking of lining the special ones with this fancy ribbon I bought for only 100 cents. Much to do, much to do.

Highways

Hey there folks. I'm writing a game review onto Glitch Feed, my friend Peter's Video Game blog. Those of you that don't recognize the picture yet, it's from The Kingdom of Loathing. One of my current internet obsessions. You should check it out.



My first review! Hope it turns out well.
