I’m not particularly draw to horoscopes or daily zodiac previsions, but it’s almost impossible to know nothing about Zodiac signs. Even if we don’t care, most of us will know about our birth sign and some of the “personality traits” one should have. Astrology is quite ambitious. They take one variable (your birth date) and use it to describe ch...

The pattern was inspired by the paintings of undergrowth that Vincent van Gogh made in Paris, Saint-Rémy and Auvers, from 1887 through 1890. The effect of the light and shade produces many shades of green and brown which van Gogh paints in short brushstrokes across the canvas.
Knitting: Wall Hanging
Humans have always tried to decipher the beginning of the universe. The myth of creation is almost universal and they provide clues on how humanity works. I have been reading Mythos, an amazing book by the author Stephen Fry. According to the author, Greeks had a very interesting idea about the creation of the universe. For them, it didn’t star...
