Digital Art Guild - The Art of Science by Annie Cavanagh. {*style:<i>The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. </i>*}Albert Einstein I work at The School of Pharmacy, University of London, UK. For many years I have been lucky enough to work with leading researchers in many scientific disciplines, many of whom were keen to transfer their ideas and experimental results from the more conventional presentation formats into something more visually appealing. My first digital image was for Professor Sandy Florence (then Dean of The School of Pharmacy) who was a leading researcher in the use of liposomes to deliver drugs to patients.
In those early days digital art was basic. The following image was my concept of DNA which accompanied a colleague’s research paper and was used as the cover for Nature Genetics in 2007. I had always been fascinated with the technically superb micrographs that a colleague David McCarthy produced. A) Original Micrograph B) Manipulated and flat color base.

A Woman Burning in the Distance: Contemporary Mithila Art Last year I became fascinated by Mithila art from India after stumbling on the work of Ganga Devi. It's not easy to find clear reproductions of this work, so I was excited when BibliOdyssey directed me to Oberlin Library's Mithila collection. From Oberlin's description of the collection: The origin of these drawings can be traced to the Madhubani region of India and Nepal that includes the towns and villages of Jitwarpur, Madhubani, Darbhanga and Saharsa in India and Janakpur in Nepal.
Mithila (or Maithili) — the language spoken there — includes linguistic features from Hindi and Bengali.

Tree ad leaf motif | Artistically Afflicted. I have spent the day updating my little site here. I have been playing around with a new theme and trying to customize it. There have been some moments of joy,some moments of frustration and definitely a moment of panic as I accidentally pushed the Publish button while playing around.
I frantically undid this and that and managed to delete my post however not before it circulated through facebook and twitter. I apologize to any who were notified and dropped by- I am sure it was good for a laugh! I received a couple of “likes’ so I am guessing that someone out there had a nice little chuckle. Unfortunately, it has scared me off of my quest to design my own website.I am a DIY’er by heart, but I am one step closer to hiring someone in this situation. I am finding it to be a two steps forward-one step back kind of process. So onward with Art Everyday Month. It’s interesting to note what inspires you when you let your imagination run rampant.

This is a kind of filling stitch which is ideal for making leaves or feathers. It requires us to divide the pattern into two and each side is filled alternately giving it a plaited effect in the centre, thus ideal to make leaves or feathers. I will work on a leaf pattern, which I have divided in the centre with a stitch line. To make the lesson easier, I have named the lines as X, Y and Z.

It reflects my work and my inspiration. I've been papercutting now for about two and a half years. Before falling in love with papercutting, I was very keen on making mosaics. My ultimate goal for my business is just to keep busy, work on more commissions and keep creating beautiful decorative items that people want to have in their homes.
If I could choose a famous client to make a papercutting for - hands down it would have to be Clint Eastwood! Inspirations: I love all sorts of rural landscapes and architecture - so that's always an inspiration. Best Sellers: My best selling print is my Life is Good papercutting . My best selling original which I have cut many times is my Round Tree papercutting (see attached) - it's a very simple graphic image. We Make Summer Boutique: I will be selling prints of Life is Good Originals and prints of Round Tree Prints of House My Sites: Logo attached.
Punctuation: The Apostrophe. The apostrophe probaly causes more grief than any of the other punctuation marks put together! The problem nearly always seems to stem from users not understandingthat the apostrophe has two very different (and very important) uses in English. to show possession and ownership - e.g. Jack's car. Mary's father. to indicate a contraction - he's (he is), we're (we are), they're (they are) These two examples show the apostrophe being used for possession (sentence 1) and contraction (sentence 2) Colombia's coffee exports have risen steadily over the past decade.
The POSSESSIVE APOSTROPHE In most cases you simply need to add 's to a noun to show possession: a ship's captain, a doctor's patient, a car's engine, Ibrahim's coat, Mirianna's book. Plural nouns that do not end in s also follow this rule: the children's room, the men's work, the women's club a. Today it is no longer considered incorrect to use either form (Jones's or Jones') and many largeorganisations now drop the ' completely (e.g. March 2013. Welcome to the monthly post in which I introduce the sponsors of this blog who make and sell beautiful things, not necessarily made of paper, but this time all happen to be paper creatives!
Hello to newest sponsor Lokta Paper Crafts. I wasn't familiar with lokta, but learned from Dibesh of Boston, the shop owner, that this type of handmade paper is made from the bark of the daphne bush, also known as a lokta bush, that grows in the Himalayas in Nepal. The paper is very strong and naturally resistant to insects; in fact, it can last for hundreds of years! Dibesh uses lokta to make fine journals, photo albums, cards, bags, envelopes, and lampshades that are tree-free and eco-friendly. This pretty lampshade features pressed juniper leaves.
Dibesh's rustic, yet elegant boxed invitations would be perfect for a green-themed wedding or party. The Lokta Paper Crafts shop opened less than a year ago and is already popular. I'm loving these bright, spring colors! Clever Lady Bird and Mr.
Knitting. Origami. Quilling. Paper cut. How to Marbleize Paper and Cards - Introduction - MarthaStewart.com. Immediately after removing the paper, place it in a pan, and pour water over it. Hang paper to dry, marbleized side up. Do not touch the paper until it is dry (typically within 2 hours, depending on humidity levels). Decide whether to keep or discard your solution (it can be used several times). To change paint colors, lay strips of newsprint across the solution's surface, then remove; repeat with clean strips until the solution is clear. You can store the solution in an airtight jar for about a week. Don't leave it in the tray, which could rust. Lorenzo Duran. L’artista spagnolo Lorenzo Duran si avvale delle foglie come tela per le sue incisioni. Dopo il lavaggio e l’essiccazione, rimuove con precisione chirurgica ed estrema cura i segmenti in eccesso, usando una tecnica simile a quella del tradizionale paper cutting.
Quest’ultimo passo è ovviamente il più difficile vista la fragilità del materiale scelto, il risultatò di questo processo è una serie di affascinanti disegni geometrici incredibilmente belli e dilicati.

From the moment I saw it, I wanted to make this wrap bracelet. I started by trying to tack it to ribbon. It wasn’t stiff enough to carry it off, which is how I ended up with the ruffle necklace. Its twinkle led me to use it for the sparkle headbands, too. But, still, I was determined! To make the wrap bracelet. The plastic crystal trim is easy to find and buy inexpensively at a craft store in the ribbon section. Together, they just look so Christmasy, don’t they? Materials: 1/4 or 3/8″ cotton twill tape (enough to wrap wrist 4x plus an inch – 36 inches or so for my daughter) Plastic crystal trim (on a spool) Needle Thread 1″ piece of cord elastic Plastic crystal button Time: 40 minutes Hem approximately 1/2 inch of the twill tape to start.
Tack on the crystal trim by stitching in between each bead. Let the bracelet fall as you stitch so you are stitching the beads with the twill tape curved as it would be around your wrist. Finis!
