Most fine artists using Legion's Stonehenge paper will only be familiar with sheets or pads of the paper. However Stonehenge has also been available as a 50 inch wide roll in white - which would be useful but only if you happened to want 140 yards of it! However last week, Legion Paper introduced a 250Gsm roll in two new colours - cream and natural - however this time it's only ten yards to

Fifty-nine huge sandstone boulders in the shape of a large ship stand proudly in a grassy green headland that pokes into the chilly waters of the Baltic Sea in the southern-most part of Sweden. Scientists are undecided as to the real purpose or timing of these rocks but the most popular theories suggest a construction date of around 500 – 600 A.D. just before the start of the Viking period.

I was utterly appalled by Stonehenge - apart from the fact that it rained (honestly!) the crowd were atrocious. A lot of football hooligans clearly out for a free party and a chance to drink in a sopping wet field and get into a fight and not a weird druid type in sight. There were women walking around in states of near complete undress plus I even saw some people having S.E.X on the grass. Why ar

Archaeologists carrying out an excavation at Stonehenge say they have broken through to a layer that may finally explain why the site was built. The team has reached sockets that once held bluestones - smaller stones, most now missing or uprooted, which formed the site's original structure. The researchers believe that the bluestones could reveal that Stonehenge was once a place of healing. The dig is the first to take place at Stonehenge for more than 40 years.   ~ more... ~  

Há exatas 4 décadas atrás arqueólogos trabalhavam em escavações nas ruínas de Stonehenge, na Inglaterra, para tentar descobrir um pouco mais sobre o estranho monumento. Em 31 de março deste ano os estudiosos voltaram ao trabalho com as mesmas questões sem respostas de antigamente : quando e porquê. Só que agora com mais ferramentas.O objetivo da pesquisa (que tem previsão de durar até o dia 11 de abril) é de elucidar, com o máximo de precisão possível, a data em que as enormes rochas azuladas foram colocadas lá e também por qual razão. Até hoje não se sabe qual o real propósito da enorme construção e têm-se apenas uma data aproximada de quando ela foi erguida. Alguns cientistas falam em algo em torno do ano de 2600 A.C. mas esta é apenas uma suposição, uma apro

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire, about 8 miles (13 km) north of Salisbury. One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned by the State and managed by English Heritage while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

Stonehenge es un monumento neolítico, tipo Cromlech, de la Edad del Bronce situado cerca de Amesbury en Wiltshire, Gran Bretaña, unos 13km al Noroeste de Salisbury. Está formado por cuatro círculos concéntricos de piedras. Está compuesto de un gran círculo de grandes megalitos cuya construcción se fecha entre 2500 y 2000 adC. El círculo de arena que rodea a los megalitos está considerado la parte más antigua del monumento siendo datada sobre el 3100 adC. El primer día de verano, el sol sale justo atravesando el eje de la construcción, lo que hace suponer que los constructores tenían conocimientos de astronomía. Para los paganos la piedra significaba la muerte y Stonehenge podría haber sido utilizada junto con woodhenge en cermonias religiosas.Stonehenge fue uno de los 21 nominados en el concurso de las Nuevas Siete Maravillas del Mundo, sin embargo, no fue escogido.

This is a layout on the members of The Stonehenge group in one of the forum that I'm in. It's for the group's challenge. The challenge is to create a group members layout using "stonehenge" as inspiration. After my last light colours layout, I would liked to challenge myself in doing a very dark colours layout. Therefore I've used quite a number of dark colour papers in this layout. This layout had been quite challenging where I've to include twelve separate individuals photographs in it. In order to achieve the group looked, I've hand stitched some rectangles to link all the photographs together. This also met the requirement of using "stonehenge" as inspiration for this layout as the rectangles actually resembles the "stonehenge" rocks. (You can refer to "Stitches to link up photographs!" in my tips and tricks section.) I've also create the flowers using vellums. This had actually soften the look of the dark colours layout.

Stonehenge mystery solved by professional puzzle maker, Bruce Bedlam, 56, has built a scale model of the ancient stone circle as he believes it was originally constructed - as a round building. He believes that the Wiltshire monument was created with a large, domed roof made from wood and covered in wooden tiles. Bruce believes the sitting was significant and the sun would enter the interior at every solstice through one of the ten doors. The theory suggests that beams were used to create a roof that came to a point above the monument. Link & Image: dailymail Share This

Refrigerators of all colors and shapes stand 18-feet high, lined up in a 100-foot diameter circle, facing inward toward a cluster of taller fridge towers. It’s as if the outer ring of fridges is worshipping these inner towers, or perhaps protecting them from the outside dangers.Like Stonehenge, which is aligned to solar and lunar astronomical events, “Stonefridge” is geographically aligned to its own kind of power source: Los Alamos National Laboratories. Adam Horowitz, a critic of the atomic bomb, purposefully built the monument in a place where visitors can see the labs in the distance. He calls it an “atomic alignment.”Source: FlickrTechnorati Tags: stonehenge fridge refrigerator art

Is the production of Stonehenge art paper - much loved by some coloured pencil artists - at risk?

The mill which produced these is to be closed in the near future.Neenah Paper today announced plans to close permanently one of the fine paper plants acquired in the recent purchase of Fox River Paper. The Housatonic mill, located near Great Barrington, Massachusetts, has annual production capacity of approximately 15,000 tons per year and is expected to cease manufacturing operations by the end of the second quarter. Housatonic was the smallest of four fine paper plants Neenah acquired as part of the Fox River acquisition.“This is a necessary part of our p

Stonehenge. The mere mention of the name invokes images of magic. Long thought to be some sort of ancient observatory, it has been associated with with Celts, Gauls and even Egyptians. In more legendary terms, Stonehenge has been also associated with druids, Merlin and even extraterrestrial aliens. Considered one of the world’s most mystical places, Stonehenge has remained shrouded in mystery and wonder. A recent project headed up by 100 archaeologist from around Great Britain has discovered some interesting new evidence which may suggest something entirely different for the Neolithic monument. The scientists discovered a sister site just a couple miles away from Stonehenge called Durrington Walls. This site is once believed to have been similar to Stonehenge in construction but constructed out of timber and housing. Durrington Walls housed the people and Stonehenge was the burial site. An avenue connected the two sites and also followed along the river. Apparently the two

According to this news article, Stonehenge may just be considered a wonder of the world before long. Stonehenge has always fascinated me, and I love reading about the many different theories regarding just what it is. Personally I like to think it was erected by a bunch of drunk and/or stoned people who sat around a bonfire at a dull party one Saturday evening, and thought - "wouldn't it be funny to put something totally useless up here and then in thousands of years they'll wonder what the fuck it is!" p.s. Hey thanks to speedy for pointing out that I didn't have my brain plugged in when I read this article.....I must have left it under my pillow or something :)
