Tea Bags?

Ruby Silvious is a visual artist and graphic designer whose recent work includes experimenting on recycled and found materials. On January 3, 2015, she started a project called 363 Days of Tea, a visual daily record of her impression of the moment using the tea bag as a support medium, altered to create a new work of art every day for 363 days. She draws, paints, prints and collages moody, evocative and sometimes whimsical art on used teabag paper. Silvious was born in Tacloban City, Philippines and currently lives in the Hudson Valley, New York. Her award winning art is exhibited internationally, and features in many private collections.

The Crowley Lake Columns

are located in California's Eastern Sierra region, are a stunning geological formation resulting from ancient volcanic activity. Towering up to 20 feet, these hexagonal or pentagonal columns formed through molten lava cooling and contracting. They offer a captivating glimpse into Earth's geological history and natural forces at work.

I have been in a yucky mood all day today. I think I know why, but that doesn't change the fact.I have put off this update because I felt empty, I didn't know what to write. I sat at my computer and looked through my bookmarks, and came across the 52 masters video series where William Christopher Ford trains with and interviews Ryuei Ryu Karate master, Sensei Tomohiro Arashiro. I have known "Chris"as I have called him for 45 years, when he was a teenager and I was a fellow competitor in weapons. He was amazing, young, strong, talented. Now he is a amazing, strong, talented, busy adult. Sensei in his own Kaizen Dojo in Gardena, Ca. As he approached age 52, he decided to interview 52 martial arts instructors, and this video is a 40 minute treat. I originally watched it to escape my work, but came away with inspiration and a much needed attitude adjustment. Arashiro Sensei is a humble, charming man, I feel blessed to know both men.
