Gigapixel Camera..!! Scary..!

2009-04-30T05:24:00.000-07:00

This is a Gigapixel (yes...1000 megapixel) camera digital photo off the coast of British Columbia, Canada (Vancouver to be precise) looking inward into the city.

http://gigapixelphotography.com/vancouver-yaletown-condos

This has to be one the scariest things I've ever seen. From well over a kilometer away you can zoom in so far that you can make out the paintings hanging in peoples living rooms...that's just not right...

I mean...there are privacy laws...this catches peoples faces from over a km away...

seriously freaky but so neat. Tech is seriously scary. The condo grouping that was photoed was a fairly new concord development. I'm keeping my curtains shut from now on... That or I'll be putting up a sign in my window telling off anyone looking through the gigapixel camera.

This Will Give You Chills

2008-10-26T13:00:00.000-07:00

This will give you the chills.......
GOOD chills.

A young man had been to Wednesday Night Bible
Study.

The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice

The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does God still speak to people?'

After service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.

It was about ten o'clock when the young man started
driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, 'God..If you still speak t o people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.'

As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk.

He shook his head and said out loud, 'God is that you?' He didn't get a reply and started on toward home.

But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk.

The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli.

'Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.' It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.

As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, 'Turn Down that street.'

This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection.

Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street .

At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh.

Half jokingly, he said out loud,

'Okay, God, I will.'

He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either.
The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.

Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street.' The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat.

'Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.

Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here.'

He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled
out, 'Who is it? What do you want?' Then the door opened before the young man could get away.

The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. 'What is it?'

The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, 'Here, I brought this to you.' The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway.

Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.

The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk.'

His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I asked him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?'

The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face.
He knew that God still answers prayers.

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST.... If you believe that God is alive and well, send this to at least ten people and the person that sent it to you!!!!!!!!
This is so true. Sometimes it's the simplest things that God asks us to do that cause us, if we are obedient to what He's asking, to be able to hear. His voice more clear than ever. Please listen, and obey ! It will bless you (and the world). Phil 4:13
This is an easy test - you score 100 or zero. It's your choice.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'

Not ashamed...Pass this on.

Unbelievable Accidents !!!!!

Unbelievable Accidents !!!!!

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two

2008-08-13T23:50:00.001-07:00

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, out to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

True friends: How many people actually have 8 true friends?

Hardly anyone I know ! But some of us have all right friends and good friends!!!

Hurry !!!

STRIPED ICEBERGS- Fascinating........

2008-07-27T13:15:00.000-07:00

amazing striped icebergs

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.

Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing!

The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That's what it is like in Antarctica where it is the coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.

Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!

A GREAT lady who sold her body to help her poor students

2008-06-24T22:09:00.000-07:00

Each prostitution, can help one schooless child; become a mistress once, can rescue a hopeless primary school... Don't laugh, after you read, u won't laugh.

After I read this story, I was speachless. I don't know what to say, is it society's fault, or else?

Xia is dead, she was a hooker, or to be more precise she was a teacher. She was the most honourable teacher in China . She used her body to cleanse the children's heart.

A hooker's death, all the children cried and attended her funeral, a school lowered the national flag half mast for her.

During the funeral of this 21year old pretty teacher, in front of all the students, the headmaster read out Xia's diary sadly. She had written : 'Each prostitution, can help one schooless child; to become a mistress once, can rescue a hopeless primary school.'....

Xia lived in a small village in the province of Gan Shu . All the ladies in this small village, no matter whether she is pretty or not, go to the southern part of city to earn money. Every spring, they will come back with money and beautiful cloths. Xia didn't follow them after she finished her secondary school. Many people couldn't understand her as she has a pretty face and body. And because of this, her father always scold her.

When she heard that the only primary school in the village needs some teachers, she volunteered to become a teacher for free. She was a very good student in her secondary school and because of this, she easily passed thru all the tests to become the teacher of the school.

The 1st time when Xia walks into the classroom, all children were surprised to see such a pretty teacher. From then on, the classroom was always fill with children's laughter. The Classroom -- more like a hut instead, as the wall is made of sticks and cover with leaves as its ceiling. A big stone as their table and the most expensive thing is the polished dark-green stone which they use as their blackboard. In this condition, Xia taught thousands of Chinese words and knowledge to her students.

One night a thunderstorm destroyed the only classroom in the school and all students become schoolless. The headmaster visited the province's education minister for some money to repair the classroom but come back with nothing. The Headmaster told Xia that the minister said he will only give the money if Xia ask for it personally. Xia had never travel far from her home town before and had never meet any minister before. She was afraid that she will make things worst. However, she decided to visit the minister. She walked more than 10km to the province ministry office and sat in a beautiful office in front of the minister. The Minister's eyed her hungry, pointed to a room and said to Xia: 'Your money is in the room, if you want it, follow me.' Xia saw a big bed in the room and that was the bed where she lost her virginity. The Minister raped her.

Her virgin blood left on the bedsheet was more reddish than the color of the national flag in the room.

Xia didn't cry, all she could think of are the eyes of all disappointed students that have no classroom.

She rushed home in the dark. She didn't tell anyone about the rape.

The next day, the villagers bought some woods and repair the classroom. But whenever there was heavy rain, the classroom was still not usable. Xia would tell the students that province ministry department will build a good school for them. In the past half year, the headmaster had visited the ministers more than 10 times but never ever get any money from them. He was the only one who knew what had happened to Xia but he could do nothing about it. The new semester comes, many students cannot pay their fees and they had to follow their parents to work. The number of students had become lesser and lesser. Xia was sad about that.......

When Xia know that the hopes of all her students have gone to ashes, she removed all her cloths and swear to her naked body that she will use her body to realise the children's dream to be able to go to school. She knew that all ladies in the village were working as prostitutes in the cities to earn their livings and she knew that was the shortcut for her to earn money. She washed herself and say goodbye to headmaster, father, and school. She tied her hair in 2 ponytails and walk to the city. When she left, her father smiled and headmaster cried....

In the colorful city, Xia was not happy at all, in her mind, there were only broken classroom and sadness and the disappointed looks of her students. She walked into a Hair-Saloon, laid down on a dirty bed, and accepted her 2nd dirty business. In that night, in her diary she wrote : 'The Minister can't even compare to this 1st customer. At least they pay.'

She sent all her earnings minus her living expenses to headmaster. The Headmaster followed her instruction to use the money on the school. When people asked about the source of the money, the headmaster would answer that it was donation from some charitable societies.

After a while, people came to know that the real source of money was from the teacher Xia. Many reporters would like to interview her but she just refused with the reason that she was just a prostitute.

With the money, the school changed. In the 1st month, there was a new blackboard. In the 2nd month, a wooden table and chair. By the 3rd month, all children have their own books. By the 4th month, all children have a red tie each. By the 5th month, no children go to school in bare foot.

On the 6th month, Xia come back. All the students welcomed her happily and say 'Teacher, you are back ...... Teacher is so beautiful'... Seeing all students' happy and excited faces, Xia cried.. No matter how many tear drops and how many sadness in the past 6 months.. she felt her sacrifice is worth it when she see all these.

After few days at home, she went back to the city.

By the 7th month, a playing field was built; by the 8th month, they have a basketball court, by the 9th month, all students have new pencils. 10th month, the school has their own national flag, the students would raised the national flag daily.

On the 11th month, a land-developer who refuses to use the condom makes Xia pregnant. After her abortion, she became the developer's mistress. After 6 months, the developers dumped her because he was facing problem as the land-value had dropped in Shengzhen and he didn't pay her 1 cent.

Xia felt very tired, she thought of going home and going back to be with her students, but she had yet to fulfill her dream which was to build a concrete classroom with 2 PCs for the students. Hence, she went back to beg the developer but the developer just refused to pay her anything but he was willing to introduce her to a lucrative business with a foreingner. The foreigner was willing to pay her 3000rmb for 1 night. Thinking of the thunderstorm that happenned a few years ago, she tiredly went to the foreigner's hotel. She sweared that she will go back to her home and school after this.

However, on that night she was raped and killed by 3 foreigners. She had just turned 21year old.

Xia died without fulfilling her final wish which was to build a concrete classroom with 2 PCs for her students............

A hooker died, silently. The sky of ShengZhen is still as blue as before, the ministers still sit happily in their offices, many expensive cars still running on street, people happily discussing share market, house market value, car value, and movies, music and love story. Young lovers trying to commit suicide just because of some small misunderstandings between themselves.

However, at this time, the students, teachers and a few hundreds villagers were attending the funeral in the small village 'GanShu'

During the wake, people can only see a black and white photo of Xia. In the photo, she has 2 pony tails and happily smile. The Headmaster opens the diary of Xia and read in front of all students. She wrote : ' Each prostitution, can help one schooless child; become a mistress once, can rescue a hopeless primary school...'

The national flag lowered to half mast... Maybe, this will be the ONLY national flag lowered to half mast because of a GREAT hooker in China 's history.

After I wrote this, I cried for 2 hours. From now on, I won't discriminate any hooker, because among them there is a Xia. Hope you will forward this mail to all forum, friends, websites. Let all our government officers understand that while they were giving out empty-promises, while they were drinking in the pub, while they were practising dirty politics; someone using her own power had tried to help the poor. Xia must be sadly looking at all of us from above now. Although she was just a hooker, she was purer and more saintly than any of us. In this cold and dirty society, what she gave to the students were the 'Greatest Love' of mankind.

Xia left this world with unfulfilled wishes. Can we continue her job of bringing more hope to the poors? In this cold winter, why don't we share our love and commit ourselves to help these poor children in the third world and support those who try to be Xia in our country? Share our love to PRC, support them more.. we can be saint ourselves.

LOVE YOU ALL...

The Turtles
A turtle family decided to go on a picnic. the turtles, being
naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their
outing. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable
place. During the second year of their journey they found a place
ideal for them at last!

For about six months they cleaned the area, unpacked the picnic
basket, and completed the arrangements. Then they discovered they had
forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they
all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was
chosen to retrieve the salt from home. Although he was the fastest of
the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled
in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat
until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.

Three years passed and the little turtle had not returned. Five
years...six years... then on the seventh year of his absence, the
oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he
was going to eat and begun to unwrap a sandwich.

At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree
shouting, "See! I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to go
get the salt."

[Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live up to our
expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing that we
don't do anything ourselves.]

The Frogs

A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he
could use a million frog legs. The restaurant owner was shocked and
asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer
replied, "There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs -
millions of them. They all croak all night long and they are about to
make me crazy!" So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an
agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five
hundred at a time for the next several weeks.

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather
sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner said,
"Well... where are all the frogs?" The farmer said, "I was mistaken.
There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making
a lot of noise!"

[ Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you,
remember, it's probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also remember
that problems always seem bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in
your bed at night worrying about things which seem almost overwhelming
like a million frogs croaking? Chances are pretty good that when the
morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll wonder what all the
fuss was about.]

The Pretty Lady

Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were traveling together.
They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged.
They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was
stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn't cross the river. The big monk
offered to carry her across the river on his back. The lady accepted.
The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk. "How can big
brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with
females?" thought the little monk. But he kept quiet. The big monk
carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed
unhappily. When they crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down
and they parted ways with her.

All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy
with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of
acussations about big monk in his head. This got him madder and
madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination
to explain his situation. Finally, at a rest point many hours later,
the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily
at the big monk. "How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you
seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is
very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite The big
monk looked surprised and said, "I had put down the pretty lady at the
river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?"

[This very old Chinese Zen story reflects the thinking of many people
today. We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate
us and they make us angry. Sometimes, they cause us a lot of hurt,
sometimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous.. But like the little
monk, we are not willing to let them go away.We keep on carrying the
baggage of the "pretty lady" with us. We let them keep on coming back
to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot of
agony.Why? Simply because we are not willing to put down or let go of
the baggage of the "pretty lady". We should let go of the pretty lady
immediately after crossing the river, that is after the unpleasant
event is over.This will immediately remove all our agonies.There is no
need to be further hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over.

New Fertility Technology

With all the new technology regarding fertility, an
88-year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby recently.

When she was discharged from the hospital and went home,
various relatives came to visit. "May we see the new
baby?"one of them asked.

"Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make coffee first and we can
visit him later."

Another half hour passed before another relative asked, "May
we see the new baby now?"

"No, not yet," said the mother.

A while later and again the guests asked, "May we see the baby
now?"

"No, not yet," replied the mother.

Growing impatient, they asked, "Well, when can we see the
baby?"

"When it cries!" she told them.

"When it cries?" they gasped. "Why do we have to wait until
it cries?"

"Because, I forgot where I put it."

Another one: The Nun Decorators

The head nun tells the two new nuns that they have to paint
their room without getting any paint on their clothes.

The one nun says to the other, "Hey, let's take all our
clothes off, fold them up, and lock the door."

So they do this, and begin painting their room.

Soon they hear a knock at the door. They ask, "Who is it?"

"Blind man!"

The nuns look at each other, then one nun says, "He's blind,
he can't see. What could it hurt." They let him in.

The man walks in, does a double take, and says, "Where do you
want me to hang the blinds?"

Dont Mock JESUS!!!

2008-06-06T16:55:00.001-07:00

KNOW THESE FACTS?

I 'm SURE you don't know till now!

Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!

Make a personal reflection about this.....
Very interesting, read until the end.....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):

'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God :

John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
'Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him' (1966).

Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.

Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died .
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):

During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: 'God, that's for you.'

He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic

After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
'Not even God can sink it'

The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)

She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
'I don't need your Jesus'.

A week later, she was found dead in her apartment

Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
'Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.

On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:

'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You..'
She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full '

Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.

The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken ..

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
Said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.

In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle ..

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.

Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive ..

'Jesus'

P.S: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this?.

I have done my part, Jesus said

'If you are embarrassed about me,

I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.'

You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way!

I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer.' Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

'Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen.'

Pass this message to 8 people {EXCEPT YOU AND ME}. You will receive a miracle tomorrow. I Hope that you don't ignore and let God bless you .

Work and Life Balance

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying.
Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition . Life is definitely not about work!

Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence.

So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words.
Watch your words ; they become actions.
Watch your actions ; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny .

Feather Painting - aMaziNg aRt

Feather Painting - aMaziNg aRt
Feathers have long been among the favorite objects lending wings to the inspiration of artists. Whether used to write or paint with, as the model for pictures or sculptures or as a decoration of the masterpiece itself; feathers can be found everywhere in art.

The art of painting on feathers has survived as one of the finest arts practiced in many countries. Each artist uses different paint and has his or her own tricks to make the miniature picture show to its best advantage on the chosen feather.

Painted feathers are often framed to display all their beauty. Others are worn as a necklace, earring or other kind of jewelry. In more traditional regions painted feathers are still worn as hair ornaments.

Often the skilled feather painters even copy your favorite picture onto an appropriate feather. Because no feather looks like the other, those special feathers make for unforgettable gifts.

Another artform has become popular in the computer age. Feathers are scanned in or painted directly into a program to get the computer treatment. With the help of painting and animation programs simple feathers can be turned into stunning pixel-masterpieces.

Feathers are also great study subjects for painters. While some devote entire exhibitions to the fluffy objects, other have chosen to paint with feathers themselves.

To paint pictures like the impressive bouquet to the left more than 20,000 feathers of all shapes are used by the artist. It took over 2 years to complete this flower bouquet. The feather paintbrush has a life of its own and adds a whole new dimension to the canvas.

Beautiful textiles made out of feathers have been created in Mexico and Peru since 500 B.C. Craftsmen and women can weave hundred of feathers into colorful masterpieces. Nowadays this tradition is celebrating a revival as young artists have again picked up this old tradition.

Textiles from a forthcoming book, "Magic Feathers, Textile Art from Ancient Peru", by James W. Reid

Another form of feather art is the construction of magical feather characters with a heart of clay. They can be formed to resemble animals, fantasy creatures or people. You can even have a feather character made to resemble a creature after your own ideas.

"According to Native American legend, by holding the feather up towards the sky, the bearer was given spiritual guidance when speaking. This special status caused others to fall silent to hear the bearer speak great words of wisdom."
