A Thought for Today
An injustice made to one is a threat to many
Charles de Montesquieu (French philosopher, 1689 - 1755)
A Piece of My Work
I love the simplicity of Constantin Brancusi's heads and I started to exercise myself in rendering the same. I started this series in June 2012 and titled it "A Memory", because I feel that these heads represent the essence of what we recall from a face. Here is "A Memory (I)".
A Recipe for Today
From Shelly Zucker – January 2011

parts and then lengthwise in ½“-thick sticks. Mix them with kosher salt. Cover
