Latte Art

latte-artby Abeer

An art that is called Latte art is actually the designing on coffee cup with cream. Latte art is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso cone that results a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte. It can also be created or embellished by simply “drawing” in the top layer of white creamy foam. Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and milk. This, in turn, is limited by the experience of the latte artist and quality of the espresso machine. The pour itself, then, actually becomes the last challenge for the latte artist.

How to create pattern:

  • Pour the milk about an inch away from the bottom of the coffee mug.
  • Once the cup is about half filled, gently shake the pitcher back and forth while slowly moving it backwards for some time. The flower design will move forward, filling the cup will show you.
  • Do this with a shaking motion at the wrist instead of moving your hand back and forth.
  • Starting off with the milk pitcher close to the top of the mug, then give a little bit of milk in the same place.
  • While this make sure to move the milk pitcher, not the mug.
  • Hold the stream of milk in the same place, but wiggle the milk pitcher back and forth as you make a ringed circle.
  • When your milk is almost completely poured, swing the milk up to create the bottom tip of your heart.
  • Embellish the cream foam with chocolate in other ways too as like you want. Pour chocolate syrup on top of foam and then start decorating with a pin. Make an outline the edges of your foam pattern with chocolate.

The Me

When the mind goes beyond the thought of “the me,” the experienced one, the observer, the thinker, then there is a possibility of a happiness that is incorruptible.

Wax Sculptures

Hannah Montana
by Abeer

This is wax sculpture of Hannah Montana  Wax sculpture is a sculpture made of wax and it is an art. Often they look like notable individual, but there are also death masks and scenes with many figures.

The properties of beeswax make it an excellent medium for preparing figures and models, either by modeling or by casting in molds. It can easily be cut and shaped at room temperature, melts at a low temperature, mixes with any coloring matter, takes surface tints well, and its texture and consistency may be modified by the addition of earthy matters and oils or fats. When molten, it is highly responsive to impressions from a mold and makes a required sculpture.

Can you imagine these all are wax sculptures? Yes they are.

Astonishing Wood Sculptures

Wood Sculptures 1
by Abeer

Making wood sculptures is actually wood carving in a form of working wood by means of a cutting tool in one hand or a chisel by two hands or with one hand on a chisel and one hand on a mallet, resulting in a wooden figure or figurine, or in the sculptural ornamentation of a wooden object. The phrase may also refer to the finished product, from individual sculptures, to hand-worked moldings composing part of a tracery.
The making of sculpture in wood has been extremely widely practiced, but survives much less well than the other main materials such as stone and bronze, being vulnerable to decay, insect damage, and fire. It therefore forms an important hidden element in the art history of many cultures. Outdoor wood sculpture does not last long in most parts of the world, so that we have little idea how the totem pole tradition developed. Many of the most important sculptures of China and Japan in particular are in wood, and the great majority of African sculpture and that of Oceania and other regions. Wood is light, so suitable for masks and other sculpture intended to be carried, and can take very fine detail. It is also much easier to work than stone.
I am going to share some astonishing wood sculptures by Webb. Webb born in East Lansing, Michigan and now living in Seattle, Washington, artist Dan Webb creates amazing sculptures out of wood. The textures and intricate detail in his work are truly astounding. Webb received his BFA from the Cornish College of the Arts and he has had a number of solo and group exhibits. His work is also held in various museum collections in Washington and New York.
