In past years, increasingly artist are approaching portraiture as contemporary art. In years past, the portrait artist in Atlanta colored their subjects in a way most would sort out as orthodox fine art.

A portrayal picture of Abraham Lincoln completed by a proverbial European portrait artist has caught this movement perfectly. It is a portrayal of Lincoln on a snowy screen background. It is difficult not to conceive a lensman did not journey back in time to film the icon. All though, a photo would likely not carry the astuteness of Lincoln’s face.

Still, portrait painters keep to pigment their subjects in traditional manners and this is not likely to change. Especially since many of these portraits grace the dormitories of umpteen of the most spectacular, conventional constructions in the Asia.

Contemporary art portrayal is fast getting a pop expression art in modern day art picture galleries. Specially as more teenaged generations grow ancient and start buying some art for their secluded collections. Such assemblings as the American Royalty Collection, George Washington, Babe Ruth, Britney Spears and umpteen other iconic names to this generation have stirred concern in portraitures and portrait corrupting.

It is not hard to view wherefore so umpteen individuals love portraitures though. In umpteen cases, untold as the Mona Lisa, it is one of our only associatian to the past. The only way we can put expressions with the big names throughout our story.

Norman Collins, better known as Sailor Jerry, is considered as the foremost American tattoo artist of his time. He expanded the array of colours available for commercial use by creating his own range of safe pigments. He was the first artists to use single use needles and hospital-like sterilization. He was known not only for his use of colour but also his incredible attention to detail. The riggings in his nautical tattoos were known for their perfect accuracy. Sailor Jerry’s influences ranged from the tough lifestyle of the American sailor, to the mystical curiosity of the Far East. Throughout his life he kept close ties to famous Japanese artists. For Jerry, tattoos were the ultimate rebellion against “the Squares”.

Jerry was legendary for his sense of humour; his “Aloha Monkey” being a famous example of his eccentricity and humour. However, he was also incredibly vocal about professionalism and craft. He taught aspiring artists who he respected and believed had talent. Today well known artists who were some of Jerry’s pupils include Don Ed Hardy, Cliff raven, Don Nolan and Mike Malone whom he left his legacy of Flash designs.

When Sailor Jerry was 19 he enrolled in the US Navy and remained a sailor for the rest of his life. Even when his tattoo career took flight, he continued to work as a licensed skipper on a three-masted schooner which he used to give tours of the Hawaiian Islands. But Jerry was talented on many levels besides his art and his sailing. He was a saxophone player in a dance band for many years and had a night show on KTKG radio where he spoke under the name of “Old Ironsides”. He stopped tattooing in the middle of life due to trouble with the IRS.

Jerry died in 1973 but his legacy has lived on through Mike Malone and Don Nolan, who opened a small independent clothing company in Philadelphia dedicated to the art work of Jerry, and dubbed the company name of Sailor Jerry Ltd. The company is anti-sweatshop and all the clothes are made in America and sold on the internet or at the store in Philadelphia. The store is host to many gigs featuring independent or up and coming bands.

Daughter of Destiny
Child of the Spirit

Yesterday’s is gone
A new day has come
With the fire of My Spirit
You now shall burn and run
Taking your testimony forth
Going into the nations
Boldly arising without hesitation
For the finances shall flow
All fear and doubt go!
Provision you’ll know
My bounty untold
Abundant treasures of old.

As for your audience
You’ll attract them like a magnet
For you attract what you are
And daughter you are much
Much more than you know
Definitely beyond the vain show
For you are a woman of valor
A woman of honor
A woman of strength
None shall dishonor
For I shall be with you
I will guard your back
And silence the enemy
Before every attack
So fear not My daughter
For this is your hour
To arise and shine
Redeem the time
Be at peace and sublime
For you’re in your prime
Prime time has come
Divine destiny is fun!
Together we’ll teach
The nations we’ll reach
And when you open your mouth
Through it I shall speak
My authority you’ll know
My power through you shall flow
Demon power shall go
As you abide in My zoe
The God kind of life
That cuts through lies
With the edge of a knife
The sword of the Spirit
Causing to cease all turmoil and strife
The gifts of the Spirit within you
Far better weapons are they
Yet to be discovered
They’re in you already
Waiting happily to be uncovered
Gifts to be unwrapped
Treasures to be unlocked
Divine ability to explode in you
So you can teach and do!
It’s all yours by faith
Just believe and enter in
Grab it with grace
With a smile on your face
Once you get it
Guard it well
For the jealous devil
Would prefer you in hell
As you freely receive
Freely give
Give it to the nations
Letting God arise
Imparting spiritual sensations
Removing all limitations!

The Dream-Maker is here
In His glory He’s come
To take away the dull
And make life more fun
To cause you to arise
To not despise
Even to remove the scales
From your eyes
Imparting spiritual vision
A burden for the nations
A yearning for revival
And divine impartation
So think it not strange
As I the Lord come suddenly
For I have chosen you
To be a daughter of destiny.

I must stress that there are some rules when it comes to how to preserve your precious photos.
Use papers that are Acid and Lignin free. Acid free means a PH of 7. Lignin is a substance in wood pulp used to make paper. If your paper contains Lignin it will turn your pages or photo’s yellow.

Most stores, be it scrapbooking, craft or department stores now sell scrapbooking papers that are both acid and lignin free. Using these papers will not accelerate normal deterioration of your photos. Many of the photo albums on the market today are not safe for preserving your photos. They actually speed up the deterioration process, leaving you with the yellow, faded pictures that we all love from years gone by.

We all spend so much of our money on the best camera’s, film or memory sticks, and developing, only to place the photo’s in an album, show a couple of people and then put them away for years to come. Why not extend on these investments by actually preserving these memories for not only our children but our children’s children’s children. As we have not only preserved these photo’s we have journalled the who, what, and where, and the generations to come will not be just looking at photo’s of people, not knowing who they are. I know when I look at my parents photo’s I do not know any of the details. This only makes the photos less meaningful.

So once you have followed the rule of the technical part of scrapbooking, the rest is just your own personal creativity. It is also a great way for your children to preserve their own photos and use their ever growing need to do something crafty.

What NOT to do AKA bad love poetry.

I love your lovely fingers,
My love, as they dive through
Your silky, sunshine hair.

Just wanted to let
You know that in you,
I’ll always care.

Unless the plan is for you and your beloved to be the only eyes on the planet to read your love poetry, you need to avoid some common problems that can be found in romantic poetry.

1) Like clowns in a tiny car - Cram it in until it bursts.

Don’t try to shove every feeling you’ve ever had into one piece. Find a single metaphor or element and breathe life into it. Let the reader feel the moment, not a lifetime.

2) Clichés - Deeper than any ocean…

Avoid clichés. Find unique ways of saying how deep your love is.

3) Mushy Metaphors

You’re the hot fudge on my sundae… The strings on my angels harp.

Unless you’re going for giggles, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, or country music lyrics (sorry, Dad), see number one and stick to a few well thought out metaphors. The shorter the poem, the fewer metaphors.

Feel free to turn a single metaphor into an extended metaphor (poetry thread) but avoid things like the example above.

4) Forced Rhyme

Your lips are liquid
Lava and at them
I always stare.

Just wanted to let
You know that in you,
I’ll always care.

Forced rhyme at it’s best, um, worst. It’s better to have no rhyme scheme than to force one out and hammer it into your poem like a misplaced puzzle piece.

Rhyme should sound natural, almost as if it isn’t there. Don’t try to switch words around to make them fit into a rhyme scheme. Also, I find slant rhyme (can/hands) works better than perfect rhyme (can/plan).

5) Finally, did I mention “I love you”?

I love your lovely fingers,
My love, as they dive through
Your silky, sunshine hair.

Ack! Enough already. A way to get out of this habit is to try to write love poetry without using the word love at all. It goes back to the “show don’t tell” rule of literature, which can be applied to all forms of writing.

When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
Here’s how I care for the things I have been knitting. I always use luke warm water. I actually don’t use detergent. I use my shampoo. I read somewhere that if it’s mild enough but effective enough for my hair it must be good enough for my knitting. I add about a teaspoon. I swoosh the sweater around in the soapy water for a while then let it soak for at least fifteen minutes.

I drain the water, squashing the sweater into the bowl to get rid of the water. I rinse with luke warm water as many times as it takes until the water is clear. I press the knitting against the sides of the bowl. I don’t wring it tight as I don’t want to lose the shape. I then lay the knitting on a flat clean towel. I roll the towel up with the knitting inside and press a little. I find this gets rid of a lot of the water. If you have a mesh sweater dryer then lay it out carefully shaping the sweater to its original proportions. If you don’t have one the you can just place the knitting on a fresh towel. This takes longer to dry and I suggest changing to a dry towel and flipping the sweater over so it dries quicker.

Obviously I never hang a sweater, not even on padded hangers as I find it stretches the shoulders with the weight of the wet sweater.
I hope you could follow my guide to caring for your knitted items. I learned a lot from a great book I discovered a while back. It was fun and helped me learn more about knitting with advice on free knitting patterns, knitting instructions, all the knitting essentials. You can find it on my blog called Knitting Essentials. Good luck with caring for your knitting.

The Knitting Nova loves to knit and to teach people how to knit. She also loves to blog. She has been knitting for 30 years and has taught many young family members how knitting is fun and easy. You can find more information on her blog at http://knitting-essentials.blogspot.com.

This article will provide you with a general understanding of some of the more basic watercolor painting techniques.

Flat Wash Technique - The flat wash technique is one of the more basic and common of the various techniques. The flat wash technique is usually used when large areas of the canvas need to be covered. You will want to lay out the watercolor wash evenly and uniformly. First you will need to dampen the area of your canvas where you will be applying the watercolor wash. Make certain to have an adequate amount of water and pigment available before your start. If you should have to stop for any reason, it will be difficult to match your layers. It is better to have more than less available. The angle at which you apply the watercolor wash is important. If the angle is too steep your wash will run down the paper. If the angle is too level, then you won’t have enough movement. Use a large brush for this technique and start your first stroke at the top of the paper. Continue applying the watercolor wash going down the paper, but alternate sides as you move down.

Glazing Technique - The glazing technique is when you apply a thin transparent color over a completed dry layer of color. This technique creates some very interesting blends of new color. You will need to use a non-staining, transparent color for this watercolor technique. You should use a soft brush and don’t apply that much pressure.

Wet In Wet Technique - Wet in wet is simply applying a wet wash over a wet surface. You start by evenly wetting the paper with a brush or spray bottle. Have a sponge handy to absorb any excess water. You want your paper to be evenly saturated. Then apply your watercolor.

Dry Brush Technique - With the dry brush technique, your paper is completely dry. You then apply a fairly dry pigment with very little water to the paper.

The dry brush technique should only be used where you want to draw focus or create texture in your painting. It’s always a good idea to use various watercolor brush techniques in a single painting. This results in a more interesting painting.

Lifting Off Technique - Artists use this technique when they want to remove watercolor from a certain area of the panting. It is usually done by first wetting the area that needs to be removed with a clean sponge and then absorbing the color with a tissue. If you find that the color does not come off right away, then let the water soak in a bit longer and try again. If you still are unable to remove the color, then dampen a bristle brush and gently scrub the area. You should use extreme care with this watercolor technique, as there is a risk you can damage the paper.

I hope this article on watercolor techniques has helped. Happy Painting!
