The long-delayed 3D adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien’s classic fantasy book started filming last month at Wellington's Stone Street Studios and on location in New Zealand. It is the first major movie overseen by Jackson to be shot on RED-manufactured cameras after Lesnie and the director flirted with using the RED ONE on 2009-drama The Lovely Bones. In an email to IF, Lesnie said The Hobbit is: •being shot on 30 RED EPIC cameras; •using Zeiss Ultra Primes, Master Primes and Optimo zoom lenses; •shooting at 47.96 frames per second; •using 3ality Digital rigs. RED boss Jim Jannard has previously revealed that the production would use its new, smaller EPIC digital cameras, which can shoot at 5K resolution and up to 120 frames per second. A number of other major 3D blockbusters are also reportedly using the EPIC including the Spiderman reboot and Underworld 4, while director Bryan Singer has said that he will use the cameras to shoot the 3D film Jack the Giant Killer. Last week, the first independent 3D feature film to shoot with the EPIC was announced – Hellbenders – using Element Technica's new lightweight ATOM rig. Australia-Singapore 3D co-production Bait was recently filmed using RED ONE M-X cameras with Element Technica Quasar 3D rigs, supplied by Panavision. The Hobbit, which will be released as two films in late-2012 and 2013, is again set in Middle-earth, some 60 years before The Lord of the Rings. The films reunite much of the same team which created the record-breaking The Lord of the Rings trilogy, including Lesnie, production designer Dan Hennah, conceptual designers Alan Lee and John Howe, composer Howard Shore and make-up and hair designer Peter King.

when cloth gets very old, and fragile, it is often spoken of as "tender", meaning it tears easily. i love that. a few more bits of grandma's quilt, holding together with a little help.

This listing is for just one teaspoon, stamped with " The Queen Has Spoken", with a crown above the wording. You can also specify at checkout if you would rather have "King" version. Current production time is 7-10 days, not including shipping time. Patterns will vary depending on pieces currently in stock, but will always be just as beautiful, I promise!! ** Please carefully review the complete description before ordering** Each vintage silver piece created by Bella Jackson Studios is hand selected for it's charachter, design and charm, and then lovingly hand stamped one letter at a time to create a special and unique gift for you. Because of the nature of hand-stamping, it is impossible to guarantee that letters will be perfectly aligned. Some tool markings are evident on the front sides as well as the back sides, as evident in the photos. No two pieces are exactly alike due to pattern, placement of letters, alignment, depth of impression and uniformity of letters. Silver plate also will vary in thickness, tint and patina from piece to piece. Due to the age and uniqueness of our pieces, imperfections are to be expected and cherished. Coloring of the letters will wear off over time depending on frequency of use and method of cleaning, but the stamping impression will still be visible. HANDWASHING IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Please send me a message with any special requests or questions, thank you for shopping Bella Jackson Studios.

Andre Courreges died last month at the ripe old age of 92. Although he kept designing throughout the 70s and 80s, he never again achieved the same sense of having spoken, in clothes, for the moment…

Wabi-sabi is hard to define. The Japanese love ambiguity and believe that no deep understanding can come with the spoken word. Zen beliefs are also not easily explained with words and wabi-sabi emerged from Zen tenets. To explain them with words would diminish them. Zen led to the birth of the tea ceremony and wabi-sabi grew out of the tea ceremony. image found at Wasbella102.tumblr.com here. Therefore, both Zen and wabi-sabi maintain a mysterious, elusive quality. The fullest explanation is that they are a way of life, with an appreciation of a particular type of beauty or aesthetic. image by nikola - n k l s at Flickr site here. Wabi-sabi is an appreciation of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest, humble and unconventional. image found at indigenousdialogues.tumblr.com here. All things are impermanent. All things are imperfect. All things are incomplete. Things are either devolving toward or evolving from NOTHINGNESS. Nothingness does not have the same meaning as in Western cultures. Zen followers see new things or life emerge out of 'nothingness'. India Flint's eco-dyed bundle waiting to be opened. blog here. Nothingness is alive with possibilities. image by Game Texture Images here. Accept the inevitable... life is fleeting and transient.... impermanent. That is why Zen teaches one to live in the moment... focus on the intrinsic small details... and get rid of the unnecessary. That is why Zen and wabi-sabi are so tied to nature. Truth comes from observing nature. To be alone It is of a color that Cannot be named: This mountain where cedars rise Into the autumn dusk. -- 12th century poet, Jakuren Mineo Mizuno, moss on ceramic There is a melancholy associated with the cycle of impermanence.. the transience of life and death. Everything is in flux, and one is invited to abandon yourself to the unrivaled beauty and natural imperfection of the fleeting world. image by Veronika Studer at Flickr here. Wabi is a way of life, with inward philosophical thinking. Sabi refers to the material objects, which convey the Wabi way of thinking. Words for wabi-sabi include: warm, dark, personal, organic, ambiguous, seasonal, life and death, earthy, present (in the moment), decayed....

Simplicity and focus on minimal details and subdued colors are very central to wabi-sabi. An organic feel with little or no defined design is preferred. Objects are functional rather than decorative, with a naturalness and ease of use. Dark, muted, subdued and limited colors are preferred. Rough edges are revered. image by blackwood (no real name given), Flickr site here. All that is uncared for.

Dorset’s Darron Coppin of Sven Cycles is somewhat of an anomaly in the custom framebuilding scene. Eschewing the current trend of making steel bikes that compete aesthetically with their modern counterparts, the focus is on classically-styled machines that are somehow more approachable. Today’s Classic Single Speed is one of a pair that hearken back to…
