Photoshop tips. Tangles and Doodles. Articles. The end of capitalism has begun. The red flags and marching songs of Syriza during the Greek crisis, plus the expectation that the banks would be nationalised, revived briefly a 20th-century dream: the forced destruction of the market from above.

The end of capitalism has begun

For much of the 20th century this was how the left conceived the first stage of an economy beyond capitalism. The force would be applied by the working class, either at the ballot box or on the barricades. The lever would be the state. The opportunity would come through frequent episodes of economic collapse. Instead over the past 25 years it has been the left’s project that has collapsed.

If you lived through all this, and disliked capitalism, it was traumatic. As with the end of feudalism 500 years ago, capitalism’s replacement by postcapitalism will be accelerated by external shocks and shaped by the emergence of a new kind of human being.

Traditional Japanese Crafts: Silk Folded Flowers. I run Atelier Kanawa (which means “studio to play Japanese harmony & peace”) and I would love to share my stories of my ancestors who were in Kimono business and how I am trying to keep these traditions alive.

Traditional Japanese Crafts: Silk Folded Flowers

My great grandfather was an artisan who dyed Kimono designs, mainly Yukata, the Summer Kimono. My grandmother was a Kimono tailor, and both my mother and my aunt graduated from Kimono academy. My aunt has been teaching Kimono classes in Japan. Since January in 2005, I have been studying Kimono and dressing with them myself. And since March 2006, I have been learning to dress other people. I also study how to dye Kimono designs by Bingata Katazome, which is the traditional Japanese method of dyeing fabric in Okinawa (southern part of Japan), using a resist paste applied through stencil.

I am also pursuing classical Japanese dance by Hanayagi-style, which includes Geisha dance, Noh, and Kabuki. Today, there are ONLY 15 acknowledged Tsumami Kanzashi artisans in the whole world.

All off-white and a bit boring. Initially, I added some needed color with my embroidered floral pillows (you can see that earlier tutorial if you click here). However, with other recent changes to this room, it was time to change the look of the sofa too. My color inspiration for the new pillowcases was this area rug which contains some of my favorite soothing, warm colors. My goal was to pull the tans, greens and carmel colors from the rug into the rest of the room and at the same time tone down that off-white sofa. I found this great upholstery fabric with all the requisite colors. It's always fun to create projects at bargain basement prices. Measure the length and width of the existing pillow and add a 1/4-inch seam allowance to each side and cut down to size for the front of the pillow. If the existing pillow is made of heavy-duty fabric you may need to add to the seam allowance. This color is called Goldenrod.

Tendonitis of the Wrist

Recurrent irritation of the tendon and its sheath make it difficult and painful for the tendons to function normally. Pain that occurs when grasping or pinching and tenderness over the wrist, are the most common symptoms of tendonitis. Sometimes a lump can be felt in this area. Wrist tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons) may be caused by overuse and also can be seen in association with pregnancy or rheumatoid arthritis.

Treatment for tendinitis Tendinitis symptoms may improve with short periods of rest in a splint and by stretching exercises designed to get the tendons gliding again. Icing wrist tendinitis can help decrease inflammation and also stimulate blood flow to the area affected area.
