Yesterday didn't went to stock take. Which means the whole day is mine. TS is sick and he need to work at home later at night, so we just hang around at home. I was in the mood on carving and I carve so much. I trace more then this but I just couldn't carve all of them. Too many. I love the apples and the swan the most. The chirstmas stamps looks great too. Planing to do some greeting card for Chi

Buried Roses
if i had roses to give you
i would have buried them
muted their breath
measured their penitence
stopped the flood of overflowing criticism
the rain continues
I thought it’s shoulders were undaunted
horizontal landscapes catch the rhythm
hold gifts
good and bad
none the less given with due remarks of wanting shelter
in the presence of unadorned queens

I'm not sure where the original source of this email came from. There is a watermarked url, www.cqwb.com.cn, on one of the photos but it seems like the site is no longer there. I have copied and pasted the whole email here so as far as the i

Egg shell can be changed become high art value craft. How can you do it?
First, choose the egg that really white with smooth surface. It needs quite long time to changes the ordinary egg shell become decorated shell, especially when we have to empty its content with special equipment. The shell skin must be treated carefully so it isn’t break. The hole to take out its content must be made as small as possible. (more…)
Debts must be cleared at the earliest or they may turn into a crises situation. The best considered way for being debts free gradually and in a smother way is to go for a debt management plan.

I used to try to do something like this when I was a kid. My carving was really to try to slip the paper covering off without ripping it and then shaving down the middle of the crayon to the point where it was barely together- then put the covering back on and slip the crayon back into the case. I should also add, the crayon would belong to the kid sitting next to me and I’d take it from his 64 pack. So it was more of a prank than art, but still….
Little did I know that I may have been onto sometime.

Travis was so excited about BioShock that he decided to pour his energy into a phenomenal craft project: machine-carving two majestic BioShock plaques. He brought them both to the people at Irrational Games, who took one, mounted it, and wrote their names on the other before promptly giving it back to him.[BioShock Plaque photoset via Wonderland]
Carved in Bone, the remarkable break-out novel by Jefferson Bass, is forensic fiction at its best. "Jefferson Bass" is the writing team of Dr. Bill Bass, world-renowned forensic anthropologist, and Jon Jefferson, veteran writer/film maker. These two entangle the reader in a story about skeletons, literally and figuratively, from the very first page.Page one introduces the “body farm” where Dr. Bill Brockton is pushing a knife through the back of one of his male cadavers for a murder case he’s working on. The body farm is a three-acre patch of ground located near the University of Tennessee, used for forensic science; it houses dozens of bodies in different state of decomposition.A visiting Deputy from Cook County interrupts Dr. Brocton in the middle of his experiment with an interesting case: a mummified corpse of a young woman dead for 30 years has been discovered in a cave in the Appalachian Mountains.Brockton’s investigation threatens to kick open the door of Cook County fam
Peyton Manning may have finally won the Super Bowl, thus unofficially making him the best quarterback in the NFL, a spot previously pretty much reserved for Tom Brady, but Tom seems to fall out of bed and land on a pot of gold every damn day so it matters not to him.
