Louise Joséphine Bourgeois was a French-American artist. Although she is best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art, Bourgeois was also a prolific painter and printmaker. She explored a variety of themes over the course of her long career including domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, as well as death and the unconscious. These themes connect to events from her childhood which she considered to be a therapeutic process. Although Bourgeois exhibited with the Abstract Expressionists and her work has much in common with Surrealism and Feminist art, she was not formally affiliated with a particular artistic movement.

Destruction of the Father (1974) is a biographical and a psychological exploration of the power dominance of father and his offspring. The piece is a flesh-toned installation in a soft and womb-like room. Made of plaster, latex, wood, fabric, and red light, Destruction of the Father was the first piece in which she used soft materials on a large scale.

In my collection about my memories of all the good times, I found these things from a box of mine which I put all the precious things in it.
The reason why I'm interested in these tiny things is that they are symbols of my childhood life and even when I grow up.
Every time I opened the box of collection, I can always remember the mood of innocence and playness as a kid.

A key ring may seem like an insignificant object to some, but they are also keepsakes with sentimental value to many others (like me), often obtained as souvenirs from trips to far-off places or received as gifts at memorable moments.

In fact, we often don’t realise how frequently we use some sort of keychain in our day to day lives. We all have keys around us, whether it may be a house key or a car key, and a keyring not only makes them look more appealing to the eye, but also makes our keys stand out so it is easy to locate them. The keyring is probably the first thing we reach for when looking for our keys on a daily basis.

There are 9 most commonly used materials that bags are made of: Leather-Cotton Canvas -Nylon -Cordura -Denim- Straw- Neoprene (Synthetic Rubbers) -Mesh -Vegan Leather.
Leather Bags:
Leather is commonly used for designer labels and other luxury bags. It is because it can easily be cut, shaped, and designed in many ways. Furthermore, its durability has been tested by time.

The beauty it provides is evident in many social events. There is no question that it is one of the most favourite materials by many fashion aficionados.

The only concern about this material is the price. Definitely, it is by far expensive, especially if it comes from exotic animals. Even ordinary leather is not cheap at all. It is because the process of making it is laborious.
Fabric Bags:
This type of material also has several classes. Cotton is the most popular one. People choose cotton bags because it can be folded when not in use.

Although fabric bags are not designed for fashion purposes, some are so beautifully designed that you will not notice them as made of cheaper materials.

Moreover, fabric bags are easy to make. They can be made for everyday uses or for special occasions. There is no need for sophisticated equipment or complex process just to make one.

What makes fabric bags popular is the convenience of cleaning it. Most of them can be washed the way you wash your clothes.
Rubber Bags:
Rubber bags are also commonly made as luxury handbags for women. It is not because rubber is expensive. In fact, rubber can be found almost anywhere.

However, the process of making bags using rubber is a bit difficult. In addition, not all types of rubber can be used for this. Therefore, it is the quality of rubber and the perfection that is applied in using it that make rubber bags the choice of many companies that produce designer labels.

As with all other rocks, there are three beach stones types according to how they originated: Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary beach rocks.

The first two types of rocks, Igneous and Metamorphic, are formed after molten rock from magma and lava eventually cools down and finally hardens into rock again.

Sedimentary beach stones are formed on shores or in the water by the weathering of older stones.

There are so many different types of rocks on the beach that are just waiting to be found.

Jasper

Jasper is variety of Chalcedony, and is usually a brown, yellow, or reddish color.  It’s almost always multicolored and typically has very unique color patterns. What makes jasper so appealing to rockhounds are its unique color patterns and formations. Jasper can sometimes be a solid color but it’s more often found mottled, spotted, ringed, or striped. People have been collecting Jasper for thousands of years. Even though it’s fairly common and affordable today, historically, jasper was a very valuable stone.

Agates

Agates are a very unique translucent gemstone with beautiful color patterns and banding. Structurally speaking, agate is a banded form of finely-grained, microcrystalline Quartz. There are many distinctive styles and patterns to agates, but each stone is unique, with no two agates ever being the same.

When looking for agates on the beach, make sure that the sun is in front of you.  If you get the angle of the sun just right, and since agates are translucent, it will appear as if the agates are filled with sunlight, making them easier to spot.

Beach agates are typically smaller in size.  By the time they’ve reached the point on the beach where you can find them, they’ve been worn down into much smaller stones than when they began. So if wondering how to find large agates, look for areas with basalt flows close by. This may be where the agates are originating from, as opposed to traveling great distances in rivers and streams.

Petrified Wood

Petrified wood is actually a kind of fossil…a wood fossil. This wood fossil forms when the wood is covered by sediment and is protected from decay by eliminating oxygen and other organisms. Then groundwater that’s rich in dissolved minerals flows through the sediment.

Fossils

At the beach, the most common kinds of fossils that you’ll find are fossils that are embedded in cliffs and in rocks or concretion type fossils.  Typically, you would need to use a rock hammer to dig fossils from out of a cliff or rock face.

Sea Glass

Collecting sea glass has become especially popular over the last 20 years or so. Many have come to appreciate the historical and environmental significance of these unique pieces.

Sea glass is formed from glass containers that have been dumped at sea or washed out from the shore. This glass is broken up and tumbled by waves, sand, and rock for an average of 20-50 years until the edges have been smoothed away and the saltwater has left a frosty, smooth patina.
