Cloisonné Ming Dynasty cloisonné enamel bowl, using nine colors of enamel. Chinese cloisonné enamel incense burner, 17th-18th centuries Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French[1]) to the metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. The technique was in ancient times mostly used for jewellery and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects decorated with geometric or schematic designs, with thick cloison walls.

Scottish and Canadian researchers used a new form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to show it places an unnecessary strain on your back. They told the Radiological Society of North America that the best position in which to sit at your desk is leaning back, at about 135 degrees. Experts said sitting was known to contribute to lower back pain. Data from the British Chiropractic Association says 32% of the population spends more than 10 hours a day seated. Half do not leave their desks, even to have lunch. Two thirds of people also sit down at home when they get home from work. Spinal angles The research was carried out at Woodend Hospital in Aberdeen.

Against Adulthood: I don’t wanna grow up! In an age of crisis, nothing looks quite so unsettling as the prospect of settling down I recently found out, on the very same day, that one of my friends was engaged to be married and was expecting his first child, and that another had been diagnosed with late-stage cancer. I felt terrible. Such a tragic waste of life. So much needless suffering. As to the other friend, I’m hopeful that against long odds, chemo can reverse the cancer’s progress. I’m thirty-three, the age of Jesus when he was crucified. What I don’t understand, especially at this gloomy moment of history, is—why? We’ve obviously reached a sort of watershed moment in which we’re finally willing to question and upend sacred cows. advertisement And yet, for some reason, most people haven’t confronted the rottenest sorriest sham of them all: adulthood. Sociologists and cultural commentators have nibbled around the edges of this subject lately. But that’s not quite right. Before we can examine any rejection of adulthood, we have to define adulthood. So, why do people get married? So, why do people still get married?

Beading (Manek) Tutorial – Part 2: Border Beading Continue from Part 1: Preparing The Frame & Canvas After having your frame and canvas prepared, shoes-face traced out, the next step is to sew a stretch of beads along the shoes-face outline like the picture shown below. You need: 1. Japanese seed beads size 15/0 for the border 2. Very fine needle so that it can go through the hole of the seed bead 3. The sewing method is to simply adapt the technique of back stitching, but with thread drawing through the beads on the working surface. Pass through 1-strand of quilting thread to the needle’s eye and tie a big knot at the end of the loop to create 2-strand cord. Pick 2 beads and sew it back to the start point (2). This one show better, pull the beads all the way down to the canvas by the back stitching. Complete 1 back stitch with 2 beads per stitch. Once you have finished a line of border, pass the needle through all the beads along it. Pull the thread and you will see that all the beads straighten up nicely… no more zigzag….
Belgian beer: Brewed force THE Trappist Abbey of St Sixtus of Westvleteren has little to offer those wishing to gawp at ecclesiastical architecture. The 19th-century buildings—squat, brick and functional—sit on a quiet country lane amid flat farmland, close to Belgium's border with France. Yet the vast visitors' car park is a clue that some people nevertheless consider the abbey worth a trip. For beer lovers, St Sixtus is a place of pilgrimage. The abbey and its most famous brew, Westvleteren 12—a dark, strong ale—have taken first or second place in an annual poll of beer enthusiasts' favourite tipples by RateBeer.com, a widely trusted reviewing website, for the whole decade that the survey has been running. Visit the abbey—no easy jaunt on public transport—and you can drink it to your heart's content, or your head's. Evidently some people are prepared to lie to a monk for the sake of beer. Pour reputation Their country also makes a bigger range than any other—1,131 at the last count. Geography helped.

How to cut glass I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved.
English Pronunciation If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud. Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. English Pronunciation by G. Source Breaking News: Fake News Special! Wire Wrapped Agate Cuff Bracelet I love jewelry projects. Seriously love them. Especially bracelets (gee, have you noticed?? LOL). The things is, I can’t help looking at it and seeing all the room I have for improvement. This bracelet took me closer to 90 minutes than my standard hour-or-less, but as far as supplies go and the process itself, it’s actually quite simple. Two gauges of silver plated copper wire. I made adjustments as I worked and I will note those in the post. First things first – the cuff itself. You don’t need to do anything fancy to connect the two ends. Now, cut off a length of wire that you think you can easily work with. The reason you want to start out at the center is because it’s easy to begin wrapping too tightly, and your bracelet can start getting squeezed smaller. Once you’ve wrapped far enough to get to the outside edge of your bead, do the same thing with the other end of the wire so that both ends are securely wrapped onto the frame. Do this a couple times.
Epsom Salt Luminaries: Some Winter Beauty Recently I’ve seen a few crafty ideas around the internet using epsom salts, but I wanted to come up with something different. I’ve been itching to make some new luminaries, something that would be elegant and pretty against winter’s white snow. Something that says Christmas, but isn’t limited to the holiday. Something that could be kept out all winter long. UPDATE: Please see my article on crafting with epsom salts for important information (including info on discoloration, see the picture below of them all white), especially if you plan to make these for an important event such as a wedding. The moisture in the salt will eventually evaporate, leaving you with white salt on your jars. These should be one of the last things you make, no more than a week before the wedding. Recently I saw some really pretty sea glass luminaries in white, light blue and light green. To get the effect, I made a little video for you. Note about jars: You can use any type of jar you want for these.
