images of Europe






These are:

a multi media Moravian headdress I did in my Moleskine journal right after seeing one by Benka that I really really loved. Ususally these are typical of Joza Uprcka. Right after I scanned it I tore it so, Libba, we need to see if we can maybe get a good print form the attachment.

a postcard from the museum for smokers in Paris--applicable to very few of you.

the Botticelli Venus with a Slovak flag painted on her face. This exhibit was called Slovensky Mytus or Sovak Myths and this work is definitley a myth, at least as far as Slovakia goes.

local sites and sights including Milotice castle, the Ride of Kings (a local village festival commemorating a king riding into the village so drunk he could not stay on his horse so his friends crowded round and probably tied him tothe saddle with all these ribbons--local society honor in the same sense as mini Mardi Gras royalty), and wine cellars.

Lowell, Veronika and Milan after our drezin ride on the railway.
