Business Card

I have recently redesigned our business cards and sent them off to printers in Lithuania. ElegantePress.com is the company that we used and I’m very impressed and happy with the product. The tactile feel of the card is hard to describe but it’s very organic and velvety.

Stamp: Loci Castri Durantis

Stamp of the former library of Convento dell’Osservanza dei Bichignani (in Urbania, Italy, formerly called Casteldurante). According to this website the convent had a library that was partially destroyed; what was left of its collections was transferred to the Biblioteca Comunale di Urbania with stamps such as: "Loci bichignani"; "Loci Castri Durantis", "Loci Sancti Joannis Baptistae Urbaniae Parci"; "Pertinet ad Bibliothecam S. Jo. Baptistae Parci Urbaniae".

Today it is called the Chiesa E. Convento Di San Giovanni Battista (Church and Convent of San Giovanni Battista). Not established.

Stamps

These stamps have interesting designs. The one at the bottom resembles a snake, the rest are simply geometric designs or are possibly symbols that represent an animal.

These items with very complex designs of flowers, animals and other objects are for making imprints in textiles, paper, or on the human body. Generally they are called seals or stamps depending upon the function they had.

To produce seals or stamps, pieces of clay were worked in relief and hardened by fire in a kiln.

In Spanish:

Se elaboraban instrumentos con disenos muy complejos que representan flores, animales, etc; para dejar improntas en los textiles, papel amate o en la superficie del cuerpo humano, generalmente se les llaman sellos o bien pintaderas por la funcion que tenian.

Para producir los sellos o pintaderas, se trabajaba en relieve placas de barro, las que se endurecian al fuego del horno.

Micro Genius

These kinds of videogame consoles, which I’ve seen on market stalls in nearly every country I’ve ever visited, are usually pirated versions of 16-bit Japanese game systems. Sometimes they include simple original games, though.

I was very tempted to get a Micro Genius and play a bit of knock-off Mario, but I’ve barely had time for "Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass", what with all the dashing about.

Cool Toys & Hobbies images

 

A few nice toys & hobbies images I found:

Golly Gosh

The "Golliwogg" (later "Golliwog") is a character of children’s literature created by Florence Kate Upton in the late 19th century, inspired by a blackface minstrel doll which Upton found as a child in her aunt’s attic in Hampstead, North London. The character, depicted in the books as a type of rag doll, was reproduced, both by commercial and hobby toy-makers as a children’s toy. The toy was known as a "golliwog", and had great popularity in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia, into the 1960s. While home-made golliwogs were sometimes female, the golliwog was generally male. For this reason, in the period following World War II, the golliwog was seen, along with the teddy bear, as a suitable soft toy for a young boy.

The image of the doll has become the subject of heated debate. One aspect of the debate in its favor argues that it should be preserved and passed on as a cherished cultural artifact and childhood tradition, while opponents argue it should be retired as a relic of an earlier time when racism against those of African descent was blatant.

The word "golliwog" has from the 1950s onward been used as a term of racial abuse directed at black people. This has reduced the popularity and sale of golliwogs as toys. Manufacturers who have used golliwogs as a motif have either withdrawn them as an icon, or changed the name. There has been wide press coverage of incidents in which the term "golliwog" has been applied to a well-known personality. The association with the also-abusive "wog" has resulted in many extant Golliwogs not being referred to as such, or being simply "Golly".

Boys and their toys with diffusion filter

My youngest son wants to become a mechanic and he and his best friend own 1992 Honda Civics. Engines and transmissions have been changed out in our shop over the last few months. We’ve also had the pleasure of providing a home to 3 different "parts" cars. Our neighbour had asked if we were opening a Honda dealership…….
