Discovering ancient jewery

 Two ancient discovery about jewelry pieces.  The first one is in Alaska.  It seems to be a bone pendant:

This one is a bracelet found in Siberia:

I like this one.  I am thinking of doing something that may look similar to that bracelet.  I just don't know how I will do it yet.  I am letting my mind working on it.  I may use a wooded bracelet with paints.  It would be an option.  I am tempted to do some more research.  I would like to see if I have other options.  I would like to do a marble or malakite look alike for the bracelet.  I am just not good to imitate that with paint.  I will have to look deeper into that.

I find those discovery inspring.

Famous mothers in history

I found a list of some famous mother in history:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1iQFi-WYNE
Not all are model of good motherhood but they are cool in their own way.  I say that thinking of Marie Curie in mind, principally.  She was a mother and it didn't stop her for at least one Nobel prize.

The mother of Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, was also cool in her own way.  She was a mother.  Before Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft had another daughter, Fanny Imlay.  She was way ahead of her time, even if it was in thoughts.

Those two are the two that I knew the most in the list.  I knew vaguely Coretta King.  I didn't knew enough of her before the video to appreciate all she had done.  On the other hand, it show that behind each great man, there can be a great woman.

Mother's day should not be limited to one day in the calendar.  Mothers are mothers every single day of the year.  It apply to each and every similar special day.

Enamel

I found these about working wtih enamel:

The second one have a safety part at the beginning.  I like that because I don't know much about enamel.  I know how it appear, that the base is in powder form, it must be fired and it is pretty much all.  I like the appearance of enamel.  Since I do a little bit of jewelry, I had been intrigued by enamel.  I tried to take a class but there wasn't enough participation, so it was cancelled.  I would like to do some.

It would be to see if I would really like it.  I knew of someone who was doing it.  She liked it.  I got the impression, with the way she talk about it, that it was more of an experimentation.  Maybe it was her approach.  I don't know the details but I would like to see for myself all about the process.  Videos gives an idea on how it is done but it isn't like doing it for myself.

I don't know if an occasion will present itself.  I keep my eye open.

Talking and language

 I like to learn new things.  Perfecting pronounciation is something rare and I never thought of saying thing right.  Just found this video:
Top 10 Mispronounced words:

Now, no more excuse to misprounce there words.

Makes me think of this video:

It explain why I would had love to have Weird Al Yankovic as my english teacher.  Would have been easier with the English written language.  For me at least.

Good news for coffee haters

I dislike coffee.  Even the smell of coffee is not good for me.  When I took my class on soap, we had two little pot with coffee in it: one with coffee beans and one with grinded coffee.  It had two purpose: we used a little bit in one of our soap.  The other use was to clear up our nose with all the scents we had (fragrances and mainly essential oils).  At the time, I didn't knew about the nose's cleansing properties of coffee.  I can't wear perfume on my skin and never purchased perfume.  I don't drink coffee.  As soon as I smell coffee, I usually want to run the other way, as far as possible from that smell.

I just discovered this article:
http://fragrance.about.com/od/Shopping-Tips/fl/Does-Smelling-Coffee-Beans-Between-Perfumes-Clear-the-Nose.htm
It expose a research that prove coffee doesn't help to cleanse the nose from scent.  What I liked the most, in this article, is the alternate ways to clean the nose from scent.  It is a bit of common sense.  The walking outside is what I would prefer (if it is far away from a coffee shop).

So, it is a good news for the coffee haters.  It will free the place for the coffee affectionado.  They will be able to continue sniffing coffee while purchasing perfume.  They don't have to know about the research.  The important thing is that they are free to smell the coffee if they want to.  Me, I will stick clear of the coffee, if I ever go purchase a perfume.  The chances are small, eczema run in the family, so the majority stay clear of perfume.  If I take another soap making class, I will skip the coffee smelling for sure.  I now have an excuse to keep my nose away from that well known smell.  Don't mind to put it in the soap.  I will donate the soap to someone who like that brew.

Wonder if there is research that contradict this one...

Chauvet caves and it's replica

Here is a text on the Chauvet caves and it's replica:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/25/arts/design/the-chauvet-caves-hyperreal-wonders-replicated.html?partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&_r=1

It talk a bit on the replica, on the Chauvet caves and briefly how it had been discovered, how the replica will preserve the original, the experience of going in the cave.  I like the part where they explain about the Lascaux caves and why they closed them.  All because of the human breath and bacteria.  Too sad they can't restaure the original.

I like the first picture.  It is a picture inside the cave: a bison, I think.  I find it look like a bison but I can be mistaken.  The person who had done this one was really good.  It is the kind of picture I like.  It touch something deep.  It is the beginning of art, in a sense.  Someone wanted to express something, even if the message is lost in time.  It is a bit misterious but talking to us in a primal level.  It is the beginning of something.  Because of this cave or other caves like that, i am able to create, to be a creative person.

Emotions

Emotions can comes handy when it is time to create.  It can be translated to a color.  It can become a shape. In writing, it add to the text, giving the characters an human side.  These are the good side of emotions.  It is not directly lived.  It is not personal.  It is more a feel good thing.

Emotions can be messy when they become more personal and more directly involved inside us.  I am not a big fan of emotions.  I find emotions hard to live with.  I would like to be emotionally suppressed.  They are way to much to take care of.  Too much hard to live with.  Too much demanding, too much draining.  It is where I would like to be a Vulcan.  I am not good with emotions when they come too much personal.

Being able to escape from emotions would be good, even if it is temporarly.  It would give me a break.  On the other hand, I have to work with emotions.  Mainly when it comes to writing.  I can't escape it even if there are times where I would like some respite.  I don't know if there is something that will come of the turmoil I live right now.  The eomtions takes all the place.  It is not fun.  It d emand a lot of energy to keep in check.  I don't know if I will be able to direct the raw emotions to something in the creative realm.  I hope so.

It is time to plunge into writing, I think.
