This also known as a “Purple Beauty” has appropriately, dark purple leaves tinged with green centres depending on how much sun it gets. These guys are extremely easy to propagate - I’ve already pulled out a lot of “chicks” because this was getting so incredibly crowded.
Echiveria done in my watercolour Moleskine, using Dr Ph. Martin’s Hydrus liquid watercolour. Only 3 colours used - Quinacridone Magenta, Blue Aqua and Hansa Yellow Medium :)
The Fukang meteorite, believed to be some 4.5 billion years old, which is as ancient as Earth itself, was unearthed near a town of the same name in China, in 2000. It is a pallasite, a type of meteorite with translucent golden crystals of a mineral called olivine embedded in a silvery honeycomb of nickel-iron. It’s a gorgeous meteorite, and possibly the most stunning extraterrestrial piece of rock man has ever seen.
The Fukang meteorite was found by a hiker. The man had often stopped and had lunch on this giant rock, and he always wondered what the metal and crystals were. He finally took a hammer and chisel and broke some pieces off, which he sent to the USA to confirm that it was a meteorite.
The original meteorite weighted just over a thousand kilogram, but the rock was so brilliant that everybody wanted a piece of it. Since then it has been divided into dozens of thin slices and auctioned or distributed around the world. (Source)
Israeli photographer Ori Gersht creates a psychedelic photography series, which includes an unconventional tool: a broken mirror. Entitled, On Reflection, the series uses plastic and silk flowers to recreate a pixelated and broken collage, which is completely unretouched.
“GRAPHICAL is a project about geometry, squares, angles and line-patterns. Photography and retouching meet graphical design. The aim was to create some strong graphical compositions infra/intra images. The images, taken between 2012 and 2014 in Milan, have been vertically associated in groups of three.”
Amazing background paintings from Summer Wars (サマーウォーズ). Hosoda is a genius and this film’s direction is divine. Looking at the same places from different angles… *stars in my eyes*
