"...red lifts the kids’ spirits..." says Kamil. Such a ptg, a terrific long panel by local artist Ian Mulyana, adds to LR simple, bright accents.

finishing Archit Digest ten designer homes...
Bandung, Indonesia - - a typical hse is brick, but "Ridwan was attractd to the idea of combining steel ptd dark brown & dark wood w (30,000) brown bottles..." (wood caps designd for them).
"The bottles are 60% of the facade...they direct light into the hse and reflect it as if they were mirrors"
...THEY LOOK OUTSTANDING x THE EXTERIOR, but "...checkerbd of bottles / windows filterd through sheer draperies" (DR) wd thrill senses every time one was in the rm.
...bottles were rounded up in " Bandung and nearby Jakarta, Tasikmalaya & Cirebon ovr a 6-mnth period."

anythng to make a buck
Incidentally, it took all my eclecticism not to sneer at the $269.99 dollhse price prev blogged. Rather, invert a cardbd box / invest in good props. The GOTTA HAVE IT! adds injury to insult.

honest truth
I have no need to lie. I blogged "anyone seen my book on String?" and
following leads x Unknown source(s), searched today for I Ching
hexagr in line form at where I thought they’d be - - lifted top clutter and found - - the book!
...six wks (prep for Craft Fair) of spot searching, then such help. Shd I blog on the wkend (after rviewing the book) you cn google Stampington submission rules, throw stringPlus on the floor, and submit somethng bfore 01Dec.09.

...current trends imply the Evil Antagonist loses vitality/motive: Evidence is all. Trying the trigram broken/ solid/ broken utilized in I Ching as weak pts., put aside a review (started 16nov) from a8-h1 along ranks (a8-h8; a7-h7, etc.) bcause something stopped me at f7. ... writer using mature ’old suggestibles’, I trusted the nudge.
Employing Template Series 700 (2008-2015), placed f7 as nucleus of a 9-sq. spread; hexagr. 40 in its home place.
...an eight sq. diagonal (all Templates) = co-axial hexagr pathway, NB lower/ upper trigr being the same.
Unlike a Game, with the Template, what happens each rank is understandable; four whites (Yang) along a8-h8; four yellows along a7-h7 and so on down to a1-h1. Patterns.
...for me, a 20 yr old question gets answered. I’m looking at the subliminal - - subcreations if you will. Hexagr. 40’s lower trigr
is above the 29Water co-axial - - a definite warning plus on either side upper Water trigrams, and above 40 another Water signal in hexagr.06. Of course, patterns - - soon old hack. But a game!
...what one does is take any Kt. tour puzzle showing hexagr 64 as one Kt. move from hexagr 01, plunk 40 in its Template home to do the Tour - - other finds - - and where the weaknesses?
