"There is beauty in our flaws 

because they are uniquely our own. 

They tell a story of what we've survived. 

They are designed as a reminder 

that perfection is an illusion. 

Because without the black 

there cannot be light." 

~Piper Payne - 'Breathing Black'~

"The one thing that you have 

that nobody else has 

is you. 

Your voice, your mind, 

your history, your vision. 

So write and draw and build 

and play and dance 

and live as only you can."

~Neil Gaiman~

Seahorse plush

Waiting for summer
I made this little seahorse.
It's made of denim fabric
and it's stuffed with pillow filling.
So... what do you think?

 

"Life is sometimes hard. 

Things go wrong, 

in life and in love and in business 

and in friendship and in health 

and in all the other ways 

that life can go wrong. 

And when things get tough, 

this is what you should do. 

MAKE GOOD ART."
~Neil Gaiman~

Pontius doll

This is a male doll wearing the

Pontos was a place in Asia Minor,
where Greeks used to live.

The limbs and the head are made of clay.

About 353,000 Greeks from Asia Minor were exterminated the period 1916-1923. Turkish genocide of Pontian, looting, the burning of villages, hangings and deportations that followed, succeeded in altering the ethnological character of Greek regions. More than 400,000 displaced people arrived in caravan in metropolitan Greece leaving behind a culture aged three millennia and ancestral lands, churches, tombs and schools. They began a struggle for survival while trying to maintain the Pontic culture, music, language, traditions and customs. For decades the Pontian fight to restore the memory of the victims, the recognition of the genocide by Turkey. The Greek Parliament recognized the genocide in 1994 and passed the declaration of May 19 as "Day of Remembrance for the Genocide of Greeks in Pontus Asia Minor."
