It may look like a jumbo-sized order of Moo-Goo Gai Pan to go, but it's actually our new Chinese Take-Out Bag. --An Archive of American Patchwork Quilt Designs--Samplers allowed girls to learn practical stitchery, as proper housekeeping required that all clothing and household linens be marked with the initials of the owner. Beginning in the 17th century samplers included alphabets, signatures, dates and verse. Girls of all classes, ages 5 to 9, would work samplers under the supervision of either a mother, grandmother or teacher. --Art Deco International--Art For The Spirit --. So I drew some, collaged some and practiced my paper weaving (which I love doing). Some of the scans aren't the finished product, because I ended up journaling over them--Art Nouveau, 1890-1914, explores a new style in the visual arts and architecture that developed in Europe and North America at the end of the nineteenth century.

For some unknown reason, for the past 3 weeks I have been unable to post on my blog IKASTIKOS. So, while waiting for reparation, I will post here instead.

the lady sings the blues
Color is vibration. Different colors vibrrate in different ways. Like sometimes I'm red. And sometimes I'm blue.
Hitchcock once had a dinner party where all the food was tinted blue. People hardly ate. Because blue is not a color related to food. In fact, in you want to diet, serve meals on blue plates or put a blue bulb in the refrigerator and you'll find that you eat less. Because blue is an appetite suppressant.
But blue has other characteristics, too.
Blue is a cool color. This means that it recedes into the distance whereas warm colors push forward. Cool colors slow down our perception of time.
Cool colors (like violet, blue, light blue, cyan and sea green) are often considered soothing. The color blue slows respiration and heartbeat, making you physically feel calmer because blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals. Walls painted a medium blue can make a small room appear larger because our eyes focus blue in the front of the retina.
However, too much calm can get on our nerves. Too much blue for too long a time can bring on melancholia, depression, and feelings of solitude. Just like chocolate cake, too much of a good thing can be nauseating.
People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.
Yves Klein loved blue. One of Klein's favorite places for meditation was the basement of a business owned by a friend's father. To mask the claustrophobic quality of the windowless room, Klein created a false sky by painting the ceiling blue. This marked the first time he created a monochomatic painted surface using the color that symbolized limitless space and spiritual purity for him. And when Derek Jarmon began loosing his sight, he thought about BLUE.
