Wampum Belt by Marya Blake for Robert Griffing

This Wampum Belt was made by Marya Blake uses the same construction technique that can be found on the original double strand twining tech unlike the more commonly used loom work, this means these beads were put on one at a time.

This belt has over 10,000 beads, it is known sometimes as the George Washington covenant belt or the Treaty of Canandaigu belt. This belt was made for historical artist Robert Griffing for a upcoming painting of the Treaty of Canandaigu Griffing has been working on now for 2 years. He says this painting is his largest to date. The Treaty of Canadaigu was signed Nov 11, 1794 between the grand council of the Haudenosaunee and the United States of America being represented by Timothy Pickering. It was the second diplomatic agreement America entered into under its new Constitution.

Lust: Brassieres

As of yesterday, I have destroyed a grand total of 8 bras in my short lifetime. So in the spirit of oddities that have to do with that glorious lifting, separating, constricting hellhole we (usually) strap on every day before leaving the house, I thought I would post some pictures of interesting variations on the topic. Feast your eyes!

Television Bra (to keep others entertained, I imagine... how rude!)

I don't know where she was going with this one...

This one is actually my favourite, and I'm considering getting one for REAL.

Bacon. Need I say more?

Is this humane? I'm sure the fish are enjoying themselves... better than the Gulf of Mexico right now, that's for sure.

Gluttony: Grilled Cheese Academy

The poor man's food: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. When you have a little cash, I suggest browsing this website, with your speakers ON and then proceed to pick a favourite and indulge! Browsing through the "Institution dedicated to deliciousness" will drive you wild after you've hit up the first couple of concoctions. Sorry, lactose-intolerants (unless you have delicious soy substitutes!) - maybe change the cheese into some grilled vegetables or a portobello mushrooms.

My favourites so far (I have yet to try them... waiting for the dough):


#2 THE PILGRIM
Features Wisconsin Gouda and smoked turkey breast smothered in cranberry mustard and sage-butter.


#4 THE NANTUCKET
A scrumptious little ditty made with Wisconsin Aged Cheddar, Cream Cheese, and lox on country French bread.


#8 THE PERRY
A heavenly creation of Wisconsin Blue cheese, Port wine-braised pears, and candied almond slices.


#26 THE BIRCHWOOD
There’s so much to savor with Wisconsin Aged Brick and Cheddar, a sunny-side-up egg, and sautéed mushrooms.

Would have to try once:

#19 THE LISA MARIE
A splendid creation featuring Wisconsin Butterkäse accompanied by peanut butter and bananas.


#30 THE BIANCA
Wisconsin Mascarpone, dulce de leche, and raspberry preserves on cinnamon raisin bread.

Pride: Painting

I've created a new Live Podcast for when I paint! I'll be painting more often, specifically June 10th from 1:30pm-4pm, and will be broadcasting LIVE from MY LIVING ROOM.
