Elizabeth Gould 1925

‘Libby’

From my great aunt from Ohio. I was lucky enough to be gifted many of her 1920’s- 1950’s special belongings which are now rare collectibles. For several decades I have carefully kept, protected and enjoyed her pieces in my art collections.

This photo (and others in my listings) are original & should be carefully handled & kept- if you decide to display it, please protect it behind UV shielding glass. Consult with a antiques specialist or museum if you need to know more about how to preserve this American history gem.

This fine art piece is unique- artist Robin Samadhi of Santa Fe, NM- you can frame each page as is or color them in as you please. Title of this book/art pack is “My Hungry Ghosts”. Each page is 11x14, on heavy weight artist paper. He must have had these printed specially, this cannot be done this size/paper/quality on a standard printer. They were for sale in a gallery on Canyon Road. They are likely based off an illustration series he did with this theme, and developed this coloring pack of posters. What a great way to make collaborative work. They are all enticing to color in!

Hungry ghosts are supernatural beings that consume more than they can handle or desires more than they can consume.

I think of it as more of a human condition concept, about our relationship with the world and its elements. What are we taking, what are we giving back. What do we need vs. want. What do we hunger for & when we get it what do we do with it?

Good Art is good for the soul.

There is meaning behind each piece in this book.

I’m selling my art collection. Enjoy oodles of great listings in my Poshmark shop :) I even added a lot of art supplies. photography equipment. my collections. and the usual clothing and household goods.

99-Million-Year-Old Bird Wings and Feet Found Encased in Amber | Paleontology | Sci-News.com

The partial skeletal remains of an enantiornithine bird that lived 99 million years ago (Cretaceous period) have been found preserved in a piece of amber from northern Myanmar (Burma).

Amber is quite fascinating in how much it helps us discover some extinct species by encasing organisms or body parts that aren’t preserved well otherwise.

Oxford University Is Older Than the Aztecs

The historical timeline you keep in your head is all messed up

Oxford isn’t the oldest university, not by a long shot. India’s Nalanda University had already operated for hundreds of years and been burnt down by invaders before Oxford got its act together. But Oxford, as one of the oldest universities in continuous operation, doesn’t feel that old. It’s a product of our time. You can still enroll at Oxford. You can still go to Merton College.

The Aztec civilization of central Mexico, on the other hand, feels like ancient history. Archaeologists dig up Aztec ruins, museums put on Aztec exhibits. But the origination of the Aztec civilization, marked by the founding of the city of Tenochtitlán by the Mexica at Lake Texcoco, didn’t come until 1325. Tenochtitlán was captured by Spanish conquerors in 1521, just 196 years later. The White House has been standing longer than the Aztecs ruled Tenochtitlán.

None of this is intended to pit civilizations against each other. But it’s an interesting way to think about how skewed our understanding of history really is—we have these timelines in our heads that are distorted and compressed, and they don’t always agree with reality. To get a clearer picture of how the world really works, sometimes it helps to keep things in context.
