Artist Research - Olga Ziemska

Olga Ziemska is a Polish-American sculptor who works with natural materials and blends nature with humanity. An extract from her artist statement goes as follows: "Returning meaning back to nature. Making the human body a part of the whole, not the whole part.  Blending the body in. Showing how easily it can mesh, morph and disappear.  The body is nothing without that which surrounds it."

I decided to focus on Stillness In Motion, one of Ziemska’s most impressive sculptures, Ziemska uses only cut willow branches and wire to depict the silhouette of a woman, with flowing branches extending behind her. This piece piqued my interest due to the materials used and the scale of the sculpture (both factors I learned to look out for by watching the sculpture seminar last semester).

Olga's work and her connection between nature and humans is of great interest as well as concerning my project idea. Connecting nature with people and possibly looking at how nature can take over the human form over time is something I may choose to explore in my upcoming electives.

Hello! If this is a poetry exchange, can we write poetry for it too? Only that, shorter than 1000 words?

If one of the songs or poems you receive as a prompt inspires you to write a poem of your own, by all means!

While your poem does not need to be 1000 words long, we do ask that you put a similar amount of time and effort into it as it would take to write about 1000 words of fic-- after all, no one wants to receive a single 10-word haiku as their finished gift!

Try to aim for at least 200-300 cumulative words, though this total is somewhat flexible, since writing poetry can be harder to quantify than normal fic. If you prefer working with shorter poetry formats, consider writing a series of connected poems! Or, if you're feeling generous, one poem for each of your giftee's prompts (should they submit more than one!)

#faq #writing #finished gifts #for a bit of poetry context-- #limericks tend to be about 30 words each #sonnets about 100 words #villianelles around 150 #and part 1 of rime of the ancient mariner is just under 500 words #so 5-6 limericks or 2-3 sonnets/villainelles would suffice! #but free form poetry is acceptable too!

One night, before going to bed

I set up my sweet tooth to be fed

I thought, “what do I want?”

Tried my hand at fondant—

But I think I made Oobleck instead.

#i used powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff #unfortunately we had only a small amount of powdered sugar #and i slightly overshot the amount of marshmallow fluff i needed #resulting in an incredibly sticky non-newtonian goo #that stuck to itself when i hit it hard #letting me remove it from one hand at a time #but meanwhile attached itself worse than ever to the hand i was holding the glob in #no putting it down did not help #i eventually fixed the problem with cocoa powder but wow #that was… a time #btw the reference here is to #bartholemew and the oobleck #which is a childrens book by #doctor seuss #involving a form of precipitation that sticks irrevocably to everything #and causes a lot of trouble #i am exaggerating the severity of this incident #but poetic license #catwings chatter #limerick #apparently that’s a thing i do on tumblr now #if you read all these tags God bless you #happy new year and good night #or whatever time of day it is for you #💚

Teh, Hte, Eth

I finally got the printer to work and printed out my table of poems; I am now transcribing them one by one – by hand – into a lovely book Daniel bought me for Christmas using a fountain pen which he also bought me. Writing with a fountain pen means that I’m having to slow right down, which is a good practice; I normally write much too fast so that my handwriting is illegible and OH is always…

The Last Stand Exam

This file documents the questions administered to the adventuring party known as the Bad Kids during their Last Standard Exam, in their junior year at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy. This assessment was produced from a variety of class materials relevant to the curriculum of the Aguefort Adventuring Academy, as submitted to the principal Arthur Aguefort prior to the start of the school year. This list is accompanied by documentation of the creatures the party known as the Bad Kids was required to face as part of the exam.

The exam is graded out of 100 points; the scoring involves the students correctly answering the questions in the appropriate time interval as well as their heroic last stands. The students are expected to simultaneously fight off a horde of creatures and participate in the examination equally; each student in this party must answer two of the twelve questions.

Neither exam aids, nor outside interference are permitted during the examination period--this excludes clerical divine intervention, as appropriately performed by a member of the party in question. By standard, the proctor must be protected--death of the proctor results in a 30 point score reduction regardless of circumstance.

By Solisian School District Standards, this party reports excellent grades and a high level of competency with regard to independent adventuring.* They were allotted a grace period prior to exam initiation for preparatory spellcasting and review of the exam parameters. Based on prior academic achievement**, the students were allowed two chances to defer a question or utilize previous materials in their response. Questions where these materials were used will be marked with a **.

Exam Proctor: Gavin Pundle

Assisting Cleric: Buddy Dawn

Party Members:

Adaine Abernant | Wizard

Kristen Applebees | Cleric

Considering the ultimate goal is to become adventurers, it makes the most sense that actual application of our skills would be most important. If actual adventuring doesn't show our skills, what will? No matter how many class I take, it won't make me a better bard or fighter.

plane rides are not that bad. But, they could be so much better if they were themed. Here’s my pitches:

Airline thats haunted house theme

Airline where one of you is secretly the pilot but you don’t tell the passengers (undercover pilot)

Airline + Zoo (mostly birds)

Airline thats CREEPYPASTA themed (jeff

Airline thats bionicle themed

Airline thats plane crash themed

also taking new submissions in form of limerick.

A comprehensive list of all the things Philomena Cunk’s Mate Paul has done

Write a story about a man who got a new potato stuck up himself following an ill-advised sex game. And he wrote that in the form of a limerick. No one died but it sounded horrendous.

Was driving to Winchester when a lorrie jack-knifed in front of him and he was hurtling towards it and everything went slo-mo and Paul, who’s never been religious, spoke to Jesus and said “I promise if I survive this, I’ll believe in you.” And he did survive but he fractured his skull and broke both his legs. Paul never forgave him and he says “if I see Christ again, he’s a dead man”

Got terrible diarrhea while he was doing a 30-mile sponsored walk to Harrogate dressed as Spider-Man for Help for Heroes. “One of the most noble and disgusting things I’ve ever seen.” Before the organizers intervened he raised 368 pounds

Are five ketamine brownies and thought that he could communicate telepathically with any animal he saw on television. He ended up being sectioned for his own safety.

Invented a treadmill for his fiancés pet snake, and the sketches for that were much more convincing than Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine. And he was on mushrooms. Mind you, the prototype did pull the snakes head off. That was the worst ending to a birthday party Philomena had ever been to.

Punched a waiter in a TGI Fridays for dropping his banoffee pie

Sent Philomena a video that exposes that neither the moon nor nighttime is real

What's a limerick?

Well, first let me structure portray -  Five lines in a strict rhyme scheme stay The first two and last With third-fourth do contrast  This rhyme scheme’s AABBA!

So each line should always have three Of it’s syllables stressed, let’s agree. It’s trimeter form And quite a strict norm For the first two and last line you see.

The couplet meanwhile has two Of it’s syllables stressed, as you knew. But harder is matching  And moving and patching  The number of unstressed parts too.

When you write a good lim’rick, it’s best To have syllable “feet” not be messed, But have unstressed parts match Like in this one you’ll catch  I have two quiet ‘fore the ones stressed.

While two unstressed each time Is common, I will chime Just one works too The goal’s that you Can match within each rhyme.

I hope I answered your question! I’ve got to admit, in confession, I clearly don’t always Do all that in all these, But I hope it’s a helpful suggestion! :)

Please don't scroll past this. My king just banished me for making fun of his gaudy cape in front of a visiting aristocrat. I'm looking for a barn to crash in ASAP. I do not want to turn to my foul uncle for help. He will make me pay for room and board by helping him with his stonemasonry, and last time I tried that I accidentally hurt my thumb and he laughed at me for days about it. PLEASE HELP
