"A sprawling expanse of white #marble waste in #India is drawing tourists, filmmakers and social media enthusiasts to a landscape that looks more like a snow-covered valley than a dumping ground"

Associated Press: Athens is cleaning its all-marble Olympic stadium for the first time in more than a century. “Athens’ U-shaped Panathenaic Stadium — made entirely of white marble — is getting its first systematic cleaning in more than a century. Rebuilt for the first modern Olympics in 1896, the site is the ceremonial send-off point for the Olympic flame, including for Los Angeles 2028.”

The Lost Marble – The sun rises

The Lost Marble is a book about a marble that falls from the pocket of a boy who has many and then has to find its way home with the help of several characters.

The sun rises. Time for the marble to start making his way home before the ants come back looking for him.

It is the book that I wrote for the 5-7 year old reader although it could be read to younger readers as it is quite a simple story. I also produced it in two versions. Although this one has illustrations to colour in, the second one, The Lost Marble Colouring Book has less text, one line per page and more illustrations. It is aimed at the 3-5 year old age group.

Both are available globally from Amazon. These are the .co.uk links, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Marble-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/1790481295/ and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Marble-Colouring-Book/dp/1704907373/. These are the .com links, https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Marble-Kindle-reader-ebook/dp/B07L1YLQGJ/, and https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Marble-Colouring-Book/dp/1704907373/.

Our Etsy shop has blank greeting, birthday invitation cards available of the book’s cover artwork characters, https://junagarhmedia.etsy.com. Larger numbers of cards are available.

Unintended Kelvingrove repeat

This was a chance catch in Kelvingrove a couple of years ago.

During a recent visit, I noticed the place was really deserted after the organ recital.

I haven’t been able to get there very often, and the visitor numbers seem to have fallen after activists have decided Kelvingrove is a nice soft target for them to get some free publicity, especially since it’s obvious the staff will not engage them (unless they escalate, and actually attack and vandalise exhibits).

I’ve been there twice, fortunately both occasion when they were actually passive, and did nothing but show their messages. But, sadly, they’re not all like that.

Whatever the reason, the galleries were particularly quiet and deserted, despite it being a very nice day.

Without thinking, I took advantage of the empty space to grab a couple of pics of what has become one of my favourites.

It’s always frustrating to get home and discover problems/mistakes.

No matter how good they claim rear LCDs are, it’s never immediately obvious when white area are overexposed or burnt out, even if you’ve tried to avoid it.

Although I could carry out some correction, the first pic really suffered in the peak white area, and lost a lot of detail.

Most of my #SilverFume #marble collection. I wish I could take better pictures of them. The big one is no brakes glass. Spinning clockwise dippy glass, and then two from Hensley art glass.
Bob Snodgrass invented heating silver up until its gaseous and capturing it in clear borosilicate glass. Modern artists have refined the technique and taken it to the next level.

Burning #SeaShells to make #quicklime

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Per Storemyr

"Burning seashells to make quicklime once was a great tradition in the #NorthAtlantic region. In Millstone Park, Hyllestad (W-Norway), we have built two #limekilns, reviving old lime burning traditions, involving #craftspeople, volunteers and the public. Recently we burnt sea shells to make #LimePaint and #mortar! Read about the experiment in a new poster and web article."
