Monday, June 21

make-a-goal monday (i have no creative title today)

I cannot believe the talent of some people in this world. Sculptures that fit in the eye of a needle or on top of a pin-head? I think that qualifies as genius-- meet Willard Wigan. These are just a few of my favorites, but there are many many more of his incredible creations that are worth seeing.

Is that not out-of-control amazing?

So, I have one week left for my Shakespeare on-line class, and I couldn't be happier to be so close to finishing. Then, I can merrily once again read Shakespeare for pure enjoyment-- after a brief break, however. As much as I love him, a person can only take so much, you know? I have been seriously lacking in the timely-completion-of-homework department.
Goal: Finish my homework this week on time, and just be grateful that it's almost done! And also, to not become crazy.

AND today, I am planning on sending out the prizes to the winners of my give-away! I am so excited.

I hope you're enjoying your Monday, friends.

  1. That's pure talent.
    I had to read Shakespeare in high school, and I didn't enjoy it. But, I enjoyed reading when I read the books at my own time.
    All my love. Have a great week.





    LOVE!

  8. Lovely post, i saw needles like this at an art exhibition, they were magnified so big. Its crazy how small they are, how is it possible? It's like the rice sculptures too. Also did you hear about the little old man that made these sculptures, he spent years on one and he had just about finished and he sneezed and lost it! it's tragic, but a little funny hehe!

    Shakespeare needs to be loved so hurray hurray! xx.x.x

    Hannah, Oh, I LOVE that story, isn't it charming? Unfortunately, we do not get to read that for my class :[

    Krystal, Right?! It's so crazy...but awesome.

    Amelia, I love that one too! And snow white...so much detail!

    Becca, gosh I don't even remember, I came across some news article long ago, and it just left an impression on me :]

    Kim, I know, I don't get it?! Ooh, I need to look up rice sculptures, that sounds fascinating haha. Oh my gosh, that is the saddest, most pitiful story! Poor little old man...but yes I can't help but chuckle at his expense.. :]

    Yes!! I agree!!
