Blue Hippo



This hippo sculpture is from the 12th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. It relates to the goddess Taweret, protector of fertility, if found in a woman's tomb. However, if it is found in a man's it could be a symbol of evil. I thought that was interesting.

Friar Park



Curt Gunther

I've been reading this book, Wonderful Tonight. It was written by Pattie Boyd, former model, and George Harrison's/Eric Clapton's ex-wife. I have gotten to the part in the book where she describes Friar Park, George Harrison's estate near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. It sounds so wonderful. Ten to twelve acres of gardens! I want to see it for myself someday if possible.

Ceramic Octopus


Jared Zimmerman

I was learning about all of the ancient Greek cultures the other day in my Art History class. These octopus vases fascinated me. I can't wait to travel to Greece and all of the islands surrounding.
