The art of Gem carving is worth more than a note as often times it takes a specialist who has the makings of an artist to painstakingly engrave beautiful images on small surfaces that quite often are brittle. And a mistake in this process would prove to be quite a costly affair as gemstones are expensive. There are many specimens of glyptic art that have been preserved till date but among them the ones that deserve real study and attention are the ones that have horoscopic detail included.

Believe it or not paperweights were part of a showcase of international artistic innovation at The Great Exhibition of 1851. Paperweights were viewed as luxury items that satisfied the C19th taste for ornamentation, but were inexpensive to make. Letter writing was a popular activity at the time and paperweights became a fashionable and economical way to decorate a home while keeping papers...
When I first saw these ceramic pigment samples on decorative artist Lynne Rutter's website, I was intrigued. These were samples made in 1773 by Josiah Wedgwood I during his quest to create a new ceramic material that would be compatible with the delicate shades of the interiors of the day. These ceramics later became known as Jasperware. credit There is something about the process of creating samples that holds so much potential. It tries your patience when you cannot quite get to where you want to be. The recording of this journey is very important to the process. It is in looking at your work and studying your mistakes that allows you to take the next steps... hopefully to success. credit In Josiah Wedgwood's case, it took five years and nearly 3,000 samples to achieve his goal. These colors are just so vivid and rich. If I had permission, I would recreate this sample board below and hang it for inspiration! credit This trial tray was Wedgwood's documentation of his potential cameos and intaglios for the Jasperware. credit For the homeowner as well as the artisan, it is necessary for success to record your paint samples. Choosing the paint color can't be done in the paint store! It is best to display the choices with a large swatch in the room you are choosing for. It does not need to be actually on the wall; painting a standard piece of paper and hanging it in the room is adequate for deciding. You can also move it around the room to look at the various levels of light on each wall. credit credit credit The artist often creates a sample board of various colors before beginning a painting or project. credit This is a sampling of metallic plasters on canvas that I made when I first received the products to see how they looked when dry. I used this sample board to eventually get to the finish I wanted on a commercial job. Here is the final finish. Often, it is the process that is most interesting!

In the enchanting city of Venice, Casa Codognato, established by Simeone Codognato in 1866, near Piazza San Marco, became renowned for its memento mori designs, while Attilio Codognato introduced ancient intaglios and cameos during a time of significant Etruscan archaeological discoveries. Codognato emerged as one of Europe's most unique jewelers, attracting luminaries like Gabrielle Chanel, Jean Cocteau, and Diana Vreeland. Their jewels became a sensation during Venice's glamorous society ball era, adorning icons like Elizabeth Taylor, Maria Callas, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Lee Radziwill. Attilio Codognato, the great-grandson of the founder, has continued the brand's creative evolution, drawing from Byzantine, Roman, and Renaissance influences. Today, Codognato remains a haven of refinement, cherished by collectors worldwide, including art, entertainment, and fashion luminaries, and this opulent volume presents their extraordinary baroque jewels in the captivating backdrop of Venice, a timeless muse for artists and poets.

The Blacas Cameo is an unusually large Ancient Roman cameo, 12.8 cm high, carved from a piece of sardonyx with four alternating layers of white and brown.[1] It shows the profile head of the Roman emperor Augustus and probably dates from shortly after his death in AD 14, perhaps from AD 20–50.[2] It has been in the British Museum since 1867, when the museum acquired the famous collection of antiquities that Louis, Duke of Blacas had inherited from his father, also including the Esquiline Treasure.[3] Normally it is on display in Room 70.[4]
