ALWAYS THE WAY

Seeing as my blogging output is practically nil these days - I'm really busy and Dad has taken to sending me texts - I was considering putting my blog on permanent stop. Until I went in for the usual first check of the day internet trawl reviewing all my favourite china spots, when I came across this website FULL of the most amazing 1930's German airbrush ceramic from an avid collector. SO BEAUTIFUL!! Which drives me to share with you all someone else's obsession.



Here is the background to this kind of ceramic decoration from my favourite online translator translation2.paralink.com

The 20s of the last century were marked by the belief in the technical-industrial progress which progressed with 7 miles boots.

Creativity, Progressivität and tempo were mainsprings of the time, after one of the chapters darkest up to now, the First World War.

Also in the art one looked for new expression means which could do the time taste best of all widergeben, were useable rationally and even though provided the breath of the special.
Cubism, Konstruktivismus, Suprematismus, De Stijl, new professionalism, Bauhaus - the list of the concepts tied up with this short period can be extended with famous representatives of the single types: El Lissitzky, Kandinski, Theo van Doesburg, Johannes Itten or Moholy-Nagy.
In the area of the ceramic art came along, e.g., Trude Petri, Martha Katzer, to Paul Speck, Herman Gretsch and Artur Hennig a name.

The hose procedure not new in itself experienced in the relatively short phase of six to eight years a Renaissance. (About in 1926-1933).
The technology known about since 1890 spends colored ornaments on the already dry shards by means of an Aerographen (airbrush).
One worked either freehand or with the help of stencils.
Rational work and individual artistic freedom went thus on ideal Wise hand to hand.

For relatively few money stamped, so-called lower layers could get from economic depression and beginning mass unemployment the big wide (art) welt in the sitting room.
Geometrical ornaments and Dekore, on ceramics and porcelain, tin cans, wallpaper and textiles took up the use of forms of the leading artists of the past, before these were edged out after 1933, outlawed as an ungerman, of the "little litter flower" with all power in the homely (uncanny) residential worlds again.

MANAGING WORK AND PLAY

I cannot thank my lucky stars enough to be as busy as I am with two great jobs and happy people at all of them. It is a bit exhasting fitting everything in - I schlep across town everyday and have my lunchbreak on the 242 bus. I don't have time any more to stand outaide the Apple Store and suck my boyfriend's face off like a couple I just gaffawed at from the top of the C2, or wander round town after work in search of un peche mignon. And I really have to make a huge concerted effort not to take piles of work home with me cause maths spaghetti is really fun! Not sure I think it should be more fun than CSI but we are mid seasons. The most fun I have though is like CSI: cooking big family dinners.

And I still like major league gossip. I have some great stories lately - mostly involving myself that result in the edifying experience of having my face stuck on the front of a giant pink plushy horse straddling a heater but as I'm oN my phone I have to keep it short.

My favourite one lately though I heard is that XXCENSOREDXX said that everything a prolific UK DJ and producer (all over a Flickr page near you) makes is totally mediocre. I really laughed cause that is a potential shit storm igniter followed by a long dark ice age across club land that would take eons to thaw.

Dunno what to call this post. Sorry. Headache, period, workstress, dirty hair, jealousy, narrowmindedness, hunger. All in a week. I'm not the same blogger I once was. Alas.

One day on the weekend working. In trouble for being a professional shopper with my boyfriend. Had a brilliant day though with two friends in the Selfridges sale. Marni shirt and shorts and a Jil Sander shirt for him. Two gingerbeers and olives for the girls. Bad vibes in one of my works cause people aren't getting on. So draining. A bit uncomfortable. Had brilliant afternoon tea with two yesterday and Mrs Marengo's cupcakes. God what am I even bullshitting about? Forget my whole life. Plastic box.

FROM THE DESK OF A LIONESS

The Parisian Jew once said that I react like a lioness who protects her cubs when he made some joke about someone close to me. I have realised that he was very accurate. Someone who should be left to stew in their own shit storm - and who if the lady Gang knew would throw me from the coven - well... Whatever. Some habits are heard to break. Basically as Max used to say 'You don't fuck with Davo'. Or as the Little Witch says 'Don't mess with the Big Witch or she'll cast a spell on you.'
