c'mon! it's only a joke...A small remark
You, trying to be clever
Be noticed,
But she, being a trifle large
Was an easy target
But had had it said
So many times she
Gave that half smile
Of pity for you, and,
You mistaking it for
A good grace..
Didn't know what grace
She bestowed upon you
The hurt of repetition
Hidden so deep within…
A small remark
You, seeming to compliment,
Complement his knowing
Of you showing
Your character
Or lack of it
As you say:
You look so much nicer
With your hair shorter
Or your beard cut
Or your new suit
Or any other attribute
That makes you look
More like any other
On the outside…
A small remark
A

being aloneBeing a bastard;
I have no family
Being of mixed race
I have no country
Having no education
I have no say
Having no home
I have no sanctuary
Having no religion
I am damned
Being intelligent:
they want me to fix things
Being empathic:
they wish to tell me their woes
Having resourcefulness:
they ask me to solve their problems
Having good hands:
they ask for their use
Having no confidence:
I do it for free
Having no money:
I cannot socialise
Not being known socially:
I am unknown
Being unknown:
I am not trusted
Being not trusted:
I am shunned
And all this shows
in my eyes, and,
The reason why
being unknown,

Successsuccess! success! success! success! success!

ooops!

Ice and Fireby *Peter-The-Knotter

Artisan Crafts / Basketry & Weavings

I've changed the name as someone said to me; "pity you didn't call it Ice and Fire"....

A Deviant friend asked me this recently so I thought I'd drop it in here as many have asked how long some of this stuff takes and how much string is used etc...

Stats: Approx:
Time to Make: 6 Months*
Number of (Miyuki cubic glass, Brass & Glass ) Beads: 3,000
Number of Recycled Ball Bearings: 450**
Length of Flax Cord used: 2,000ft

*... not all the time but most of it.
**used internally to weigh down pieces for stability.

...After the game the king and the pawn, go into the same box...
Italian Proverb

Incredible work! I think this is about the most original chess set I've seen.

The title seems very appropriate though I guess I've seen "fire and ice" so often that "ice and fire" sounds uncomfortable somehow. I wonder though, what was the original title of this chess set?

*Peter-The-Knotter Nov 2, 2012 Student Artisan Crafter

Thank you Martin!

Orig title: "Fire and Water Chess Set"

btw: What would you recommend as font designer software? It occurred to me, having so recently discovered your work, and that of others, that it would be kinda fun to create my own font for my knotting website that I'm in the process of designing/building... hope this query isn't an imposition, (pun intended), on your time...

Best wishes, and good luck with your stuff,
Peter.

Feel free to send more questions if you have any. Most type designers design their letters directly in Fontlab Studio (after doing sketches on paper). I'm pretty terrible at sketching letters and I find Fontlab Studio a nightmare to design in. I use Illustrator for the design and then just drag each letter into Fontlab Studio where I do the kerning and programming.

Thank you Martin... will check it out... will probably imitate you as I'm used to my vector package, (in my case: Corel), also... and use fontlab for conversion to ttf, type 1 etc...

Thanks again for your time!
Peter.

btw: goes without saying: if ever... (publicity maybe on my journal or elsewhere...?)
