Illustration: Mexican Ornament from Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament 1856 Perhaps one of the seemingly oddest incorporations in Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament published in 1856 was that of Mexican ornament. Interestingly, but perhaps puzzlingly, Jones placed his illustrations towards what he called Mexican ornament within the chapter dealing with Greek ornament.

Illustration: Russian lace makers 1911 Little was known in the rest of Europe and the world at large, about Russian lace making until the publication in 1870 of a book dealing with lace, but more specifically that of Russian lace makers. The book was written by Sophie Davydorf and was a rich and detailed history dealing with many different forms of lace making across the Russian Empire. However, probably the most important benefit of Davydorf’s book was her highlighting of the plight of thousands of peasant women who were working slave hours and wages in the production of fine lace for wealthy Russians

Illustration: Albert Herter The Ship 1913 Albert Herter was an American artist, best known for his fine art paintings, but closely followed by a range of large scale murals that he produced from about 1913 onwards through to the end of the 1920s. Herter also produced a number of tapestries and The Ship is one of the better known and dates from 1913. The tapestry itself is interesting in its style and composition as, although seemingly conventional and representational in both composition and style, it does seem to echo certain elements of the abstract pattern work, particularly within the top third of the tapestry, that was to be so prevalent within the decorative arts, and that of textile design specifically, during the following 1920s and 1930s.

With my stint in Houston a few days behind me, and a much needed vacation stretching out before me, all I’m left with are the few freelance jobs I’ve taken on to keep me busy. So waking up early is….well, just an option. I can meander from under my covers as early (or late) as I want, and while enjoying the benefits of my new found liberty, I wondered how the rest of Blog Catalog feels about waking up. The discussion topic this week was simply, “What’s the First Thing You Do When You Wake Up?”. The responses came in a pretty wide variety. Going pee first thing was a trending response, as was saying a quick prayer. HaplessHermit even said he cries first thing in the morning. But the most common answer seemed to be ignoring (or abusing) that good ole faithful alarm clock.

Ginger’s note: A very special thanks to photographer Gina Gonzalez for the great 2010 Snowmageddon photo! As you all know, the Washington, DC area is under siege with Snowmageddon 2010, and the federal government in the DC area is officially closed. Even though the government in the DC area is closed, our government has offices throughout the country that are doing business as usual

Last weekend I flew home to Vancouver to attend the Sight/Sites of Spectacle symposium at the University of British Columbia. As I had not gone home to visit my parents for almost three years – this trip was a good opportunity to visit with my parents; try to see a few friends and artists; re-immerse myself in the world of art history for a few days and to feel the anticipation of the city on the eve of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games .

The other day I came across an article by a woman who claimed to have the secret to finding your life partner. This woman chose to work for 18 years on herself with experimental therapy, holistic meditation techniques and read books and took classes all for the betterment of her own self. She wanted to erase all of her inner demons, all of her insecurities. Then after nearly two decades of seeking love within herself, she found her life partner and they lived happily ever after.
