Kopp Although this week's petitioner is asking about coping in a new career, I think the same applies to any new venture that's both personally important and changes your lifestyle. This week's question and answer (via poet and oracle Taisia Kitaiskaia* of The Hairpin): (Originally posted at The Hairpin HERE) Striking a chord with many, here are some comment highlights: Brain-uncramming is a subtle type of witchcraft, though. Don't feel too bad if you can't perform it well at first! (Judith Slutler) PERF. (especially the "do not hold so much yr every feeling in the palm of yr hand like a beating frog-heart") (fabel) @fabel This is what my therapist has been trying to tell me, I think. Like, ok, you have feelings, yes, but acknowledging that they exist despite your best efforts at ignoring them does not mean you must feel them all, all the time. I'm Right On Top Of That, Rose) Wow! I never really 'got' the Baba Yaga posts in the past but this one is just perfect. Printing out ... to put up in every room of my house. Truly necessary advice for the overly-introspective. (wordnerd) whoa. (baby crow) Beating frog-hearts in the palm of my hand. Pretty much a perfect description. Unfortunately, I hate vomiting... I'd kind of like a part two on this topic... What do you think of Baba Yaga's advice? Want to ask Baba Yaga a question of your own? You can! There's now an email address where you can send your questions directly to Baba Yaga herself. AskBabaYaga AT gmail DOT com To encourage Baba Yaga to continue imparting her no-bones-about-it wisdom (ok, there may be some gristle in there... bones too), I suggest we not to leave her box empty... Thank you Baba Yaga (& Taisia). * Taisia Kitaiskaia is a poet, writer, and Michener Center for Writers fellow. Born in Russia and raised in America, she's had her poems and translations published in Narrative Magazine, Poetry International, and others.
The New York Palace (Hungarian: New York-palota) is today a luxury hotel. Built by an insurance company as a company hall, its Café in the ground floor named New York Café (Hungarian: New York kávéház) was a longtime center for Hungarian literature and poetry, almost from its opening on October 23, 1894 to its closure in 2001, to reconstruct it into a luxury hotel, as it is now. The café was also reopened in May 5, 2006 in its original pomp, as was the whole building.
Gargoyle at the National Cathedral
Students in my Three Dimensional Art course are using floral foam to sculpt Grotesque Gargoyle figures. We looked at images of this type of creature used in architecture and from there sketched out designs. Plaster gauze is being used to cover the foam pieces. Students will complete their sculptures using acrylic paints.
Chinese Antique Blue Glazed Porcelain Vase with a dragon encircling around the neck - Qing Dynasty The Dragon - symbol of life, growth and bringer of harmony, virtue, riches, fulfillment and longevity. In Eastern art, as far as mythical creatures go, the dragon still attracts the most attention. Most likely because it is revered for its courage, inspiration, creativity and luck. Every 12 years when the Year Of The Dragon comes around there is a spike in childbirths in Asia. Images of the dragon that are highly animated attract more luck, while the expressions of character are good
