WEB POSTER EXHIBITION

~absdostan:iconabsdostan: reports, December 7
This web exhibition of 50 posters by the hungarian artists Krzysztof Ducki, Istvan Orosz and Peter Pocs accompanies the traveling exhibition "Hungarian Karma" which is currently at the Viborg Stiftsmuseum, Denmark, 2009.10.23 - 2009.11.22. Text and pictures were kindly provided by Peter Pocs, who wrote about the exhibition
It is already 20 years ago that the political system changed in Hungary. During this period a lot of things changed, but we could not really use the feedom we got as a gift. In the euphorical year of 1989 we started to design political posters which reflected to not only the Hungarian, but to the neighboring countries as well. A lot of things did not resulted as we thought, hoped and would have liked. Months and years passed away and our optimism flew away as well. The exhibition "Hungarian Karma" is a time document of this last 20 years.
The context of the posters is explained in an article by the writer and journalist Peter Nyholm, reprinted from the catalogue.

Tantalizing Tourmaline

~SoulStoneDesigns:iconSoulStoneDesigns: reports, June 20, 2007
Here's a little tribute to one of my most favorite minerals from the talented jewelers of Artisan Crafts! Tourmaline comes in a rainbow of colors, sometimes featuring more than one color on a single stone. Being a fairly tough stone with such a diverse color palette that generally carries a lower pricetag (except in cases of very rare specimens like the copper-bearing stones from the Paraiba mine in Brazil) than other precious stones such as sapphire, it's a jeweler's dream! Along the way, you'll hear various names used to describe different colors of tourmaline and/or the locales where it's found.

Speaking of Paraiba, let's kick this feature off with a truly stunning bi-color tourmaline piece from wire-wrapped extraordinaire, ~nonomie



Check out the setting on this ring by ~radiomaniac



Bountiful earrings from ~Jillithe



An impressively ornate ring with a luscious rubellite by ~yogarasu



~MarieCristine brings us a truly lush bracelet:

A funky setting for a lovely stone by *Tolkienmaster



A double treat (with watermelon!) by ~manwithashadow



A very sweet ring from ~craftal



Rubellite loveliness by ~Hyllyn



A gorgeous cascade from ~keyla-etc



And finally, a piece I'm rather partial to (because I commissioned it ;) ) with an awesome indicolite by ~noformdesign




Spread the tourmaline love! And let me know if you find more!

Wow! I never realized that tourmaline came in so many colors - I'm used to just seeing the green, for some reason XP

Great article, and great pieces :D
