Copy of artwork

Hi
My name is Edlyn and I'm from India. I'll be making a trip to Washington next month. I wanted to make a copy of this artwork I saw in a palace in Rajasthan, India and I'm wondering if someone on here can help me out with details. Most imoprtantly how much it will cost me. Size: 16” x 20. I have a photograph of the painting and I can email it to interested people and you can let me know if it will work out or not.

Thanks much
Edlyn

war?

One might assume me a pacifist, this is not the case. Though I see the irony of what we are, I must accept this as our nature. All in the past who aspired to change our nature lay slain, we all have this cross to bear. Holy wars litter our history and loom in our future... it would seem repetition would teach, sadly no. Perhaps I am more flawed than most, having seen the truth, and using it for nothing more than a trivial rhyme. My only defense is, I have been a warrior and an artist... artist has far less guilt as a consequence.

war?

The anvil rings a metal tone, the swords for war are forged.

Evil seized the soul of man, upon the hatred gorged.

The clash of steel and smell of blood addicted those who fought.

The land lay barren, scorched and bare, on battle fields bodies rot.

The sun sets cold, the bells toll long and the wind moans and sighs.

In the gloaming nothing stirs and lightning rips the sky.

In the end the deeds are done, the lesson goes unlearned.

Still the people follow blindly, stand in line to die in turn.

Pottery Needed for Book/Video Project!

Hello There,

I'm an acupuncturist here in Seattle, specializing in digestive health and nourishment. I'm also an artist of sorts (though it's taken me almost 36 years to admit this) dabbling in metal, clay, and string (banjo string, that is... :)).

I'm writing because I need some help from the talented potters out there, and I'd like to offer a favor in exchange...

I am in the midst of creating a cookbook, designed for everyday life... It's actually an entire book based on one simple recipe, with stories about each of the individuals who have contributed their unique "version" of the dish. The title of the book is "Nourishment Made Simple", and I'm aiming to complete this project in 9-10 months.

Next week, I will be filming 3 short videos that will be used both as a teaching aid, as well as to promote the book and encourage participation. The video will be shot at Whole Foods Market in North Seattle (independent of the store) on Wednesday, June 9th.

I am in need of bowls and dishes to present the "baked grain" dishes (both in the video, as well as those professionally photographed in the book). I personally believe food tastes better when eaten out of a handmade dish, and I cannot imagine a more simple and beautiful way of presenting it than this.

So if you have a medium bowl (average dinner size) or serving dish that has been gathering dust, or if you have something else in mind that you would like to donate to this project (any time before August 31st, 2010), you would be forever appreciated... In exchange, you will be formally acknowledged in my book (either by name or business), as well as receive a copy of the book when it is completed. In addition, if anyone would like to contribute 3 medium bowls by Monday, June 7th, 2010, the creator of these dishes will also be named in the short list of credits at the end of each video (which I will be doing my best to spread far and wide).

If this interests you at all, please feel free to drop me a line at sharongraylac@gmail.com or call me at 206-234-2603.

Thank you so much for your time, generosity, and talent!

Kindly,
Sharon
