Fashion Friday: Beer, Beef and Poultry

I am an MFA graduate student in Intermedia Arts and I’m conducting an independent study in Special Collections this semester on the history of costume and fashion to help inform my own practice. So, welcome to my first #Fashion Friday post on a historical compendium of costume through the ages! This spring 2022 exploration will include my original drawings of interpretations from the UWM Special Collections' holdings of historical fashion and costume publications and then my own modern designs where the spirit of the historic retrospective is manifested.

Ancient Egypt is our starting point today where diagonals, pleats, and iconography abound. Much of our knowledge of this sophisticated civilization originates from preserved remains of pharaohs that have been excavated from cemeteries and tombs.

We find that costume silhouetting is long and tight for women while men wear aprons or skirts, often with their chest exposed. Accessories are the epitome of ornament where animals and gods give way to the beauty of the Egyptian faience—a brilliantly colored glaze of lime, clay, and sand. Shown here are my inspirations and my designs:

1.) "Egyptian Old Kingdom" plate from Costumes of the World, 100 Hand Colored Plates from Ancient Egypt to the Gay Nineties, published by the Works Progress Administration, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania unit, ca. 1940. 2.) Figure from "Egyptian Old Kingdom" plate with my interpretation and inspired design. 3.) My interpretation of and contemporary design inspired by a detail from the "Ancient Egyptian Costume" plate in A Short Description of Historic Fashion published in New York by the Columbia University Teachers College Bureau of Publications in 1925. 4.) My interpretation of and contemporary design inspired by a detail from the "El Amarna" plate in The Coloured Ornament of All Historical Styles published in Leipzig by Baumgärtner in 1915. 5-7.) Plates from volume one of Gli Stili Nella Forma e nel Colore, Rassegna dell' Arte Antica e Moderna di Tutti i Paesi published in Torino by C. Crudo & Co. in 1925. 8-9.) My own interpretations of Egyptian iconography and deity representations.

Burial customs of these generations 4,000 years ago sustains a universal belief of ka or vital essence, which the Egyptians believed was sustained through food and drink. Hence, the title of this entry as Beer, Beef and Poultry, which was inscribed as part of a petition on the stela (monument) for the venerated Nit-ptah, the son of Egypt's 18th-dynasty pharaoh whose tomb was later shared by the infamous King Tutankhamun (a/k/a King Tut).The petition is a humble request to the gods that the pharaoh's son would endure everlasting life with the sustenance of Brew City.

attempting to start my first real big breeding project

so basically i think michelle has run her course in doing rainy season combos and i am BORED. i don’t really have a reason to check my side most days besides grinding extra event currency and stuff but. i do have a lot of margays sitting around AND a lot of maltese and chartreux :^)

first pic is the markings i already have on various lions, most of which i moved to my side, and sidereal base which should have a somewhat decent pass rate onto maltese and chartreux. also cloudy eyes because they look great but if i run into some nice BO eyes while breeding i won’t say no 👀 i don’t really care about manes so this is saved in wardrobe as sidereal normal but again if i end up getting something else BO i might roll with it. second pic is the end goal. merlot and sunrise could switch places if it works out to be more convenient that way. extra markings are all oasis apps just to add some shading and stuff you know how it goes

mutie rep is up in the air. i might end up inbreeding for this for the sake of getting all the marking slots on one lion so i may do a clean black friday app on a groupie or a G2 with decent stats? or just get a G2 ferus or something bc i’ve never had a primal king so far. will cross that bridge when i get to it.

i’m also playing around with a project for the new faience eyes and cinnabar marks because there are almost no kings with cinnabar NCL marks which is basically criminal. cinnabar is good i will fight you on this. anyway that one depends on what NCLs i can get because again, there are almost no studs, and will maybe move to my main once BATV gets old? i like sahara so i might try to focus on getting cinnabar markings and ceramic/fai eyes on G2 saharas for now, also grinding monkey teeth for either pulsar or feline orchid.

#lioden #wish you could transfer mt i have 200 on my main and 100 on my side -__-#ok actually 206 and 94 but its still an even 300 total #also! grind reptile roundup for skeleton coast bg

308: 15 Ideas for Welcoming Provence Style into Your Home & Garden

Ten years of visiting, followed by three years of construction and refurbishing, and now Shauna Varvel's family Provençal mas situated just outside of Avignon, France, is an exquisite Provençal destination to see both inside and out.

Feasting first on the thoughtfully designed and decorated property through Instagram beginning in 2018, I continued to follow her as the property named Le Mas des Poiriers as well as serving as a family home for her and her husband, their adult children and the growing grandchildren, is also now available for rent (although, likely for the most elite due to the price point - which it is worth based on the expansive grounds and thoughtful decor).

Featured in Veranda's April 2019 issue, inspiration abounds whether or not we will be able to visit and see with our own eyes, as Varvel's new book Provence Style: Decorating with French Country Flair was just released earlier this month.

With today being the first day of summer in the northern hemisphere, I thought what better way to celebrate the ideal season during which to visit Provence than by dedicating this week's podcast episode entirely to welcoming the Provençal decor and garden ideas into our home and lives wherever we may call home.

Having had the opportunity to receive and read Shauna's book, if you are looking for visual inspiration as well as a historical exploration of the design styles associated with Provence, Provence Style is a book you will appreciate and find incredibly resourceful.

Below I have gathered 15 ideas adding a touch or a wealth of Provençal decor inspiration to our sanctuaries. Let's take a look.

1. Welcome in the natural light in abundance

Open the curtains, pull the shades, if you are in the middle of designing a space or choosing a home or apartment to live in, choose one with oodles of windows and preferrably south-facing (northern hemisphere) or north-facing (Southern Hemisphere) along with east, west and north as well of course. Why? Natural light works magic on the beauty of a space and Provence is all about the sun and the mistral-clear blue skies painted and appreciated by artists.

In other words, treat your windows with curtains or shutters or shades, but never forget to open them when the sun is out.

2. Add earthenware to your decor and dining experiences

"Established in Marseille in the late seventeenth century, the earthenware industry in Provence gave rise to names such as Saint-Jean-du-Désert and Fauchier, known for their exceptional blue and white faience glazes."

From large jugs and handmade pieces of pottery to plates for dining or plates for wall décor, earthenware is quintessential Provence. Begin gathering a collection, use the jugs as vases, use for functional purposes in the kitchen at the dining table, find them at flea markets, brocantes, online or a second-hand stores, and when you do, a touch of Provence will be seen and felt.

3. Mind the door and window hardware, custom millwork details and ironwork

The details matter in any home, and when it comes to Provençal style, swap out the modern for the traditional. From knobs to closures, staircase handrails, and drawer pulls, seemingly small, yet certainly significant.

4. Provide direct and easy access (inviting and encouraging as well) to outdoor spaces, the garden

Provence is about the outdoors, eating seasonally, working with the weather (yes, the mistrals are a real thing and while clearing the sky to keep that pristine blue as well as cooling you down during the summer season, they can be fiercely aggressive in the fall and winter), so provide access to the outdoors with ease. Keep your kitchen garden close to the door closest to the kitchen, create inviting sitting areas outside under the vines and the trees, and perhaps invest in a door or screen door which lets the outdoors in reminding you to step outside and enjoy the warmth.

5. Ah, the traditional hexagonal terracotta flooring tiles

"A distinctively Provençal floor material that is characteristic of most houses in south-west France, known as tomettes de Salernes, these quintessentially local tiles have historically been made in the villages of Salernes from the red, iron-filled clay of that area. During the nineteenth century, terracotta tile production was prolific, with tomettes exported throughout Europe and Africa."

I remember seeing my first terracotta hexagon floor in the vacation rental I enjoyed staying in while traveling in the Luberon. A two story villa in a little hamlet near Gourdes (tour it here), the hexagon tile covered the bathroom floor and dazzled me primarily because of its history and being in the region of France where such tile was originally made. No matter what the color scheme, this style, this color is a neutral, it is timeless, it is classic Provence.

6. Strike a balance

"Carefully judged contrasts between rusticity and gentility, modesty and opulence, the democratic and the aristocratic, are the signature of the contemporary Provençal home."

Here is where time and travel and exploration create the expertise of knowing what that balance is. Knowing how to strike the balance of opulence and rustic is not initially simple to do, but with intention and time, you will find it eventually becomes instinctive. Provençal homes no more adhere to entirely one aesthetic - everything 'country chic' than France is a country of singular flavors. No, no, no. While staying in my first vacation rental in Provence in 2018, this four story home in the medieval Ville of Vaison-la-Romaine included centuries-worn stone steps, iron-railings, classic artwork inspired by the time of the Renaissance as well as simple, floral bed linens, linen curtains and a modern bathroom. Mixing and matching - function and beauty, a touch of the present with fond inclusion of the past.

7. Know the objective of furniture selection and placement

Varvel writes the guiding principle "is to generate an impression of artlessness, though this requires thoughtful consideration of scale, comfort, design detail and choice of upholstery."

Look for vintage furniture, yet reupholster with preferred fabric and restructure the pieces to create the desired comfort. Layers work as well, soft and hard, some, but not too much. Don't clutter, but don't be a minimalist. Creating seating areas to sit, relax and be. Design with the eye of the guests in mind - what will they be drawn to? Let one item sing and the others complement. Include upholstered items in every room, but not every piece need be upholstered.

The foundational design elements hold true, but now you let the other items on today's list guide you to what type of items to include.

8. Plaster-finish for the walls

Provence is quite hot in the summer, but very much a geography which beckons you to be outside nearly the entire year even though they do have all four seasons.

"Plaster-finished walls are a common trait of the mas. When overlaid with lime wash, the lime sinks into the plaster, giving it a luminance and patina distinct from that of a conventionally painted wall."

Varvel goes on to share, she chose a custom mix of lime wash and chose a flat finish to match the tone of the limestone floors in order to create a sense of 'unity and openness'.

9. Restrained elegance

While yes, a rural locale, Provence has a rich and lengthy history stretching back to the Romans who "conquered the Greek colonists who had introduced grapevines and olives and also built the port of Massilia, later known as Marseille. This city would be instrumental in infusing Provençal living with a sense of opulence."

"A culture of contrasts, merging bucolic bliss with bourgeois aspirations; rural tradition with refinement; rustic crafts with luxury."

What does restrained elegance look like in a Provençal mas or home?

opulent chandeliers over a table covered in a linen tablecloth with fresh flowers from the garden lined up in a row down the middle

ornate gold-framed mirrors set in front of a vintage upholstered armchair

carefully laid table settings, silverware, multiple glasses and plates with an open window framed with modern fabric for the curtains which stretch to the floor.

Bare floors of limestone, covered only occasionally with an antique wool rug

10. Sunflowers

Brilliant in late June and through July, the sunflowers as you drive about the countryside in Provence will, if you are like me, successfully tempt you to stop the car and take pictures. Never mind, they are ubiquitous in this region, and likely you will find more around the next bend in the road, but still, their beauty draws a breath of awe each time.

Plant them yourself in your own garden. I planted my first sunflowers last year at Le Papillon and found direct sowing worked best. They don't need much water and by August I had giants standing guard around my property. This year, I direct sowed all of my three different pouches of seeds and even have some self-planting sunflowers along my front path to my porch. My neighbors have been planting sunflower seeds since I moved to the neighborhood, and they sow them well before the last frost. Currently, they have an alley of sunflowers about four feet tall and doing fantastically.

11. Copper

In last Friday's This & That, I shared a link to this article from Homes & Gardens UK containing 30+ ideas for styling your own French country inspired kitchen. One of the many recommendations I have welcomed into my own home is a rack full of copper pans that are actually used, but also provide a stunning rustic, yet sophisticated focal point in the kitchen.

12. Baskets

From rustic to new, large, medium or small, in all different styles, baskets about the home are a functional touch that also looks wonderful from a decorating perspective. I recently picked up a few baskets for my home during Rabbit Hill's French Lifestyle online pop-up shop, and highly recommend checking out her monthly offerings. As well, market baskets are wonderful treasures as well as highly functional. I have displayed my own in my mudroom, and wrote a post about how to

13. The love of cloth

Specifically Indiennes, originally imported colorful Indian chintzes which had small repeating motifs of flora and fauna. Serving as bed hanging, bed curtains, drapes and bedspreads as well as clothing, Indiennes is especially well associated with Provence. Other cottons depicting scenes from nature as well as stripes and ginghams have come to epitomize the Provençal decor.

14. Gardens full of herbs for cooking, medicinal purposes and exquisite fragrance for the home

Beginning with lavender as the most immediate herb that comes to mind when Provence is mentioned, did you know it also while scenting the air repeals flies and mosquitos? Yep!

As well as many other herbs, be sure to welcome an abundance of basil as Varvel shares, 'it is also a natural insect repellant and has been an essential in the Provençal kitchen garden for more than a thousand years".

Place in the ground or in pots just outside your kitchen for easy access while you are cooking and welcome oodles of fresh flavors to your meals.

~View TSLL's Garden posts here.

15. Create natural shade in the garden and outdoors

"The Provençal garden gives shade, with plantings of plane, chestnut, pines, cypress, evergreen oak, drought-resistant blackberry, and fruit trees, especially olive, fig, apricot, peach and plum."

Varvel shares the many artists who would work en plein air in Provence and which trees appeared in their paintings along with the sunflowers which captured Van Gogh and Cézanne's admiration. Needless to say, Provençal style cannot be what it is without the outdoors or the honoring of the outdoors with the welcoming in of fresh flowers, floral and fauna prints and the opening of windows to let the fresh air dance about the home.

If you have an outdoor living space, no matter how small - balcony, a porch, create a space which beckons you to sit, relax and take many deep breaths of appreciation. In other words, to be present.

10 Life Lessons from Provence: Slow Down and Savor the Everyday

More than anything, to echo what Shauna Varvel's shares in her introduction of her book, the lifestyle of Provence rejuvenates, gently, yet assuredly nudges us to slow down and be present and never rushes us to hurry to the next thing. Taking in the sights, taking in the tastes and savoring the seasonal beauty, Provencal living is peaceful living. The markets run year-round, the attire need only be comfortable as you need your skin to breathe and your body to move as you walk about and around the many medieval towns and villages. Life in Provence is living well and savoring the everyday. When we create a home to encourage us to embody these qualities, no matter where we call home, our lives changes for the better.

[image description: A cheery-looking blue faience hippopotamus (painted with lotus designs) sits in the midst of 15 irregularly shaped faience beads. Text reads, “83, HEDJET ~ SMALL GOD OF FAIENCE”]

Anything can spawn a god if it matters enough to someone. If it is the focus of enough devotion and belief. Anything. Hedjet reminds herself of that when the other gods laugh at her for being too narrow, too archaic, too small to matter. She exists because faience was a giant technological leap for potters, a new innovation that was, in its time, as exciting and revolutionary as any computer or medical breakthrough. She changed the world, in her own breakable way.

Anything can spawn a god, and any god can change the world, and she still has her faithful.

The sincere always do.

One way or another, the sincere always do.

On the Loire, Roanne is an old river port that has been reborn as a resting place for tourists.

Most people know Raonne for two reasons: Archaeological Museum, where there is an Egyptology department there with the best in the country. But also for food, like the restaurant, La Maison Troisgros here has held three Michelin stars continuously since 1968. The Loire was part of Roanne's charm and was demolished to create a large lake and a beautiful canyon where the hills filled with green vines fell into the water. Discover the best things to do in Roanne.

[toc]

1. Musée des Beaux-arts et d’Archéologie Joseph-Déchelette

Roanne Lemon City Museum shines for archeology and decorative art. It has a compelling Egyptology collection with funerary masks, steles, amulets, sarcophagi and vases going back to the 4th Dynasty around 4,500 years ago.

Most of these were brought back to France by the museum's name, archaeologist Joseph Déchelette. After that, the ceramics is lauded as the richest in the region and has faience from Delft, majolica and Italian tiles from the 16th to the 18th century.

Until the 1900s, Roanne had her own terracotta industry and this was also covered in galleries.

2. Guided Tour of the Centre

At 10:30 on Tuesdays in July and August, a guide from the tourist office leads groups around the town pointing out the main sights and the story behind them. It’s the best way to find some details you might otherwise have missed, like the Gallo-Roman pottery kilns.

You'll also go inside Château de Roanne, an 11th-century mansion, which now houses the Roanne town hall, as well as the tourist office. Among the thing you’ll see on the streets are medieval houses like the Maison à Pans de Bois, a cute timber-framed house listed as a French historic monument.

3. Gorges de la Loire – Nord

It's not hard to find inspiration for the roaches around Roanne: If you follow the river upstream for a few minutes, you'll come to a beautiful canyon with shallow steep walls, formed by Villerest Dam.

The river expands here and weaves through an enchanting blend of Mediterranean and temperate landscapes with grasslands and slopes carved with vineyards.

Lending real drama to the lake is the perched village of Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice lifted high above the river, and the romantic Château de La Roche, stranded on an island in the river after the dam was completed in the 20th century.

4. Train Touristique des Belvédères

If you’re visiting the gorge with littler family members you can opt for this mini train instead of hiking. It’s a seven-kilometer loop designed to give you the best panoramas from the hills around the Loire.

The ride will only take over an hour, and there is a guided comment as you go. The train operates from May to September, and during the school holidays, there are now balloon modelers, magicians, clowns, and musicians to keep kids entertained.

5. Château de La Roche

The unforgettable castle in Gorges de Loire is open daily during the summer months. Looks can be a little deceiving because although the castle was founded in the 1200s it suffered down the ages.

It was a ruin when the dam was built, but in the 1990s the building was given a new fairytale design and was linked to the shore by a new bridge. There are five galleries telling the story of the castle disturbance and decorating it in a medieval style.

Every Friday evening in the summer you can come to the castle for a glass of wine and ponder the scene from the terrace.

6. Les Halles Diderot

Open every morning, except on Mondays, the Roanne covered market has lots of delicious food, as you expect from a townhouse to the legendary Maison Troisgros. Les Halles Diderot is a luxurious culinary experience, similar to the Baul Bocuse market in Lyon.

Many of the traders are at the top in their fields, like the Pralus chocolatier, the fishmonger Mr. Chavrier and the fromagerie Mr. Mons. There are three restaurants in the market, and for a real foodie activity, you can come to taste freshly shucked oysters.

7. Port de Plaisance

Now just for entertainment, the Roanne Hay river port used to transport tons of coal, ceramics, cereals, and timber all the way to Nantes on the Loire and Paris on the canal system.

Previously, they would use the taxi cabs of Muslims, specially made from oak with the flat hull. That ended in 1992, and today, it is a popular mooring point because of its low price and cheerful atmosphere. You can hire an electric boat from the jetty here.

These accommodate up to seven people and you won’t need a license; in the summer you can just show up and embark on a little voyage on the canal between Roanne and Digoin, 70 kilometers to the north.

8. Roanne’s Chapels

Roanne has several churches, and the smaller they get, the more interesting they are. Take Chapelle Saint-Michel, founded in 1617 for a Jesuit university and designed in the Italian Renaissance style.

The ingenuity inside deserves a closer look for the altar with a multicolored marble mosaic, carved wooden platform, and stalls. Over the last 400 years, it’s been used home, a grain deposit and even a post office.

9. Lac de Villerest

Downstream from the Gorges de Loire and a little closer to Roanne is the lake where the town comes to unwind in summer. Like the canyon, this was created and created by Villerest.

On the banks are gently sloping hills with forests and meadows, agricultural farms and recreational facilities that you can take full advantage of. On the north shore, there’s a beach watched by lifeguards in July and August, and combined with a mini-golf course, campsite and kids’ playgrounds.

There is also a small port where you can take a boat to Château de La Roche.

10. Musée Alice Taverne d’Ambierle

In the village of Ambierle, a few kilometers west is a museum with the coveted “Musée de France” label. Alice Taverne was a 20th-century historian and ethnographer who helped safeguard the folk traditions of the region she grew up in.

The objects that Tavierne collected were the basis of a museum in 1952. What you see are patterns of local life from 1840 to 1950, with the interior of houses (both modest). expensive and premium), a lace workshop, cooperation, general stores and a lot more.

Each display is full of authentic historical details, such as classic signs, tableware, and food containers.
