#art #history: can't resist a classic simone stink eye &, as i draw her every year on the anniversary of her birth, here's my tribute to her 'take no shit' glance.
most commonly associated with her seminal feminist oeuvre, 'the second sex', simone's philosophy was - true to its existential roots - humanist'; but it can be extended to all members of society, both human & non-human. in her words: 'one's life has value so long as one attributes value to the lives of others.'
#simoneDeBeauvoir

digital pencil & ink sketch of french philosopher, writer & activist, simone de beauvoir.
here, she looks off to her left with a look of bemusement on her face, legendary barnet sweeping elegantly from her skull.
above her head is a jaunty, angular speech box with a block of medium french blue inserted.
text reads: 'non, je n'en veux pas'.
simone is in black, white & grey.

Rosa foetida.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté, from "Les roses," vol.1, by Claude Antoine Thory, Paris: 1817 #illustration #art https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/rosa-foetida/

Stipple engraving depicting a branch of Rosa foetida, referred to by the author as Rosa eglanteria, showing two yellow blooms along with buds and leaves. Rosa foetida is native to the Caucasus Mountains and was imported to Europe, which has no native yellow rose, from Persia.
Rosa eglanteria is currently considered a synonym of Rosa rubiginosa, the sweetbriar rose.

I hung this painting in the hall to my studio because I didn’t know what to do with it. It wasn’t done, but …? My daughter added googly eyes. This is indeed what it needed. Collaboration! 🤘🏼🥰🥳

#art #painting #silly

Large black canvas with an abstract flow of blues, purples and whites. There is a suggestion of a large tree with an astonished face, and a blue silly bird on a branch. The tree and the bird have had googly eyes stuck them. It’s pretty funny.

Wanted to make some new labels for our tea caddies and I'm pretty happy with the results. Even though our cat Jiji tried to sabotage me with his cuteness. First time I see a cat try to unscrew a lightbulb. I'm posting the scan of it if anyone wants to use them for their teas.

#Watercolour #Watercolor #Tea #Art #MastoArt

4 Teal coloured stout tea caddies with labels that read: Tibetan Secret, Strawberry, Blue Lady, and Darjeeling.

4 More stout teal tea caddies with labels that read: Blood Orange, Lakeland Special, Earl Grey, and Lady Grey.

A black cat lies on a desk on top of my work in progress. His thick booty covers all of the working area.

Scan of a series of labels with floral borders from top left to right:
1 Mango and bergamot with a drawing of a mango and a bergamot
2 Sakura cherry with pink flowers and petals.
3 Earl Grey with a bergamot and a cornflower
4 Tibetan secret with an orange peel
5 Strawberry with little strawberries and a fading red background
6 Blood Orange with a slice of blood orange
7 Lady Grey with a slice of orange
8 Lakeland Special with a little landscape in the background
9 Blue Lady with a slice of grapefruit and a cornflower
10 Milky Oolong with 2 brown leaves on the side
11 Darjeeling with two foggy mountains in the distance
12 English Rose with a red rose line work on the side.

This is my custom portrait of Ollie the adorable dog! This portrait will eventually become a dimensional foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the paper.

Black and white drawing of a dog named Ollie, with the right half of the image being the reference.

I captured this image in an old museum on mid north coast, NSW, Australia.

Clothes washer technology developed as a way to reduce the manual labor spent, providing an open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The earliest machines were hand-operated and constructed from wood, while later machines made of metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, keeping the water warm throughout the day's washing.

The earliest special-purpose washing device was the scrub board, invented in 1797.

By the mid-1850s, steam-driven commercial laundry machinery was on sale in the UK and US. Technological advances in machinery for commercial and institutional washers proceeded faster than domestic washer design for several decades, especially in the UK. In the US there was more emphasis on developing machines for washing at home, though machines for commercial laundry services were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rotary washing machine was patented by Hamilton Smith in 1858. As electricity was not commonly available until at least 1930, some early washing machines were operated by a low-speed single-cylinder hit and miss gasoline engine.

After the items were washed and rinsed, water had to be removed by twisting. To help reduce this labor, the wringer/mangle machine was developed.
