In practice this seems logical contradiction, however, mask or ignore. With respect to this masking plays the understanding of 'pixie landscape' as natural in contrast to the 'city' as a cultural importance.<br /><br />This pixie landscape urban discourse seeks to establish the basis for a new dialectical synthesis between urban and pixie landscape planning, where pixie landscape refers to a common framework for Christmas in the urban and rural context. Based on this alternative understanding of pixie landscape, like the DAC to consider the possibility of anchoring the goblin and his little helpers in relation to the future planning of the urban-rural pixie landscape.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFQTkovmRmijt325g6eQcDQG_drWsJ-V15lbWePFcarZU8z0t1FZiIkLi_KIm2iJm7yYfqRUS2zWeLJ7Gy_vq3va1IKWilZc7ezBqzq4BN9c6itk0nS80XFYGeCb3ekXbVXAO0ZAR1ArO/s1600/Picture-41.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548804130532719026" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaFQTkovmRmijt325g6eQcDQG_drWsJ-V15lbWePFcarZU8z0t1FZiIkLi_KIm2iJm7yYfqRUS2zWeLJ7Gy_vq3va1IKWilZc7ezBqzq4BN9c6itk0nS80XFYGeCb3ekXbVXAO0ZAR1ArO/s400/Picture-41.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 308px;" /></a><br /><br />How does the Nisse live amongst us today?

The project’s name represents <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2008/09/now-thats-rock-latest-diamond-find.html">the largest diamond ever found,</a> at 3,105 carats, which the Asscher family cut in 1908.<br /><br />This collection of 18 rings is distinguished by floating diamonds, which are encased in a fluid-filled sapphire dome that allows them to fall freely.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ZtPZ5n_4mfeJWyf_IDlUWz2zPbw4-3mABUvRzmixUEmBstthnayRzh757k7jJR_pTLutq9_ycxHqvknEXtY_3y6KJO_7eLXHKcB0LonzJh_2Uugrg1Vt2UZfbrb6A-2EpGItlDWwFsyP/s1600-h/Picture+12.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419233999585141810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7ZtPZ5n_4mfeJWyf_IDlUWz2zPbw4-3mABUvRzmixUEmBstthnayRzh757k7jJR_pTLutq9_ycxHqvknEXtY_3y6KJO_7eLXHKcB0LonzJh_2Uugrg1Vt2UZfbrb6A-2EpGItlDWwFsyP/s400/Picture+12.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 527px;" /></a><br /><br />The result of floating diamonds is that the stones emit light, fire and beauty as they move, similar to twinkling stars, according to the designers. The ring collection is available in white, yellow and rose gold in two sizes, with retail prices ranging from $4,950 to $7,900.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPZrnnh9q3kx2rKg8pave__HidhHEpOOv86esUSmEgHBf6x-2QgFPjLYHf4kZioUYx3TSl22qI0u4rhkU0XLLqGSpv2hkPUFpbNffuqhxWAYzPSRYt5e395C7bHgabamw0yymWgriUpwf/s1600-h/litaasscher.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421954528762666946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPPZrnnh9q3kx2rKg8pave__HidhHEpOOv86esUSmEgHBf6x-2QgFPjLYHf4kZioUYx3TSl22qI0u4rhkU0XLLqGSpv2hkPUFpbNffuqhxWAYzPSRYt5e395C7bHgabamw0yymWgriUpwf/s400/litaasscher.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 174px;" /></a><br /><br />Lita Asscher, shown above, first introduced the Star of Africa program in New York during November of 2008. A year later, she explained that in partnering with charities and businesses, she could show the industry how it can have a positive impact on Africa, particularly Sierra Leone, which she visited in 2008. Asscher came away with a strong belief in "diamonds for development" and that became the main goal of the Star of Africa initiative. A portion of each ring purchase goes back to Africa.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQRwVq83ZIdeDH0PABlUwVVo1QcRn4TU0vdvAe4o6qca5p6QYAXn8g0pKUJDrUGSfOdfDsL7DGtf2ocKIcPiSXi6RgAdb7vny77wb6aq7KPoh1AAyk6QgvprZ7DDd2sZTwEt5filvlem5A/s1600-h/Picture+18.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419234623205572866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQRwVq83ZIdeDH0PABlUwVVo1QcRn4TU0vdvAe4o6qca5p6QYAXn8g0pKUJDrUGSfOdfDsL7DGtf2ocKIcPiSXi6RgAdb7vny77wb6aq7KPoh1AAyk6QgvprZ7DDd2sZTwEt5filvlem5A/s400/Picture+18.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 426px; height: 200px;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXNqSXX9w_P8dJX9oNwYmO4XCy2GpqT1FgibVfYGCyr0oapMFWD6ZWJyOaKeFF8vXoGQr16R1B8EnRhpWPnz9s1sIGw4XxE47WcwMqGC5sap5Z6nrURN5yOOaExGxmFWYfqAI9etPl2Oc/s1600-h/Picture+8.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421953059376555426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSXNqSXX9w_P8dJX9oNwYmO4XCy2GpqT1FgibVfYGCyr0oapMFWD6ZWJyOaKeFF8vXoGQr16R1B8EnRhpWPnz9s1sIGw4XxE47WcwMqGC5sap5Z6nrURN5yOOaExGxmFWYfqAI9etPl2Oc/s400/Picture+8.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 429px; height: 190px;" /></a><br /><br />To enquire about purchasing contact <a href="mailto:starsofafrica@royalasscher.com">starsofafrica@royalasscher.com</a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Love Diamonds?</span></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilmyKO8PHOkH9vGw8KmP_D0sGnAtehJTrxix-oQz6bROg_E9hdvSDtEHC5h-mEWJIiCLRQ1SwU_abB_Rdj7QsQVD-CbOZ7PZ03Jja7G4Ue5UXxTJtFtXySMnn0zRMPrt80AA3wsGHRsRw1/s1600-h/Picture+19.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421968508650548786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilmyKO8PHOkH9vGw8KmP_D0sGnAtehJTrxix-oQz6bROg_E9hdvSDtEHC5h-mEWJIiCLRQ1SwU_abB_Rdj7QsQVD-CbOZ7PZ03Jja7G4Ue5UXxTJtFtXySMnn0zRMPrt80AA3wsGHRsRw1/s400/Picture+19.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 534px;" /></a><br />Check out this post on <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2008/09/now-thats-rock-latest-diamond-find.html">the biggest diamonds ever found.</a><br><br>

Most of the over 300 that I own are packed away in boxes with the exception of a few of the more artsy and unusual ones. By that I mean limited editions, signed and numbered and sold either in museums, galleries or directly from the artist.<br /><br />A few days ago I wrote about the artfully twisted <a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/12/white-winter-as-seen-by-artists-martin.html">snowdomes and photo prints of Walter Martin and Paloma Muniz</a>. (I don't yet own one of theirs, but I want one... I have to wait and see if they ever go on sale, lol).<br /><br />I do have the WTF snowdome (a recent purchase from Urban Outfitters) and the third edition of the more offensive version by Nora Logorano and Marshall Reese, both shown below:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhriiznUnU2Z2y4cZDKPPhFmkXxcGRaxsB4UneQHpWpHt9z9DMe1NVJRyLrBhJcKjvg-R7NTlI_XiSptE7nJAgLfne1AZlibyl5pzC18ndGxBS5FdBepr697FNiBPviupkOcNfPFTeFM-tY/s1600-h/WTF-Snowglobes.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419228938073979794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhriiznUnU2Z2y4cZDKPPhFmkXxcGRaxsB4UneQHpWpHt9z9DMe1NVJRyLrBhJcKjvg-R7NTlI_XiSptE7nJAgLfne1AZlibyl5pzC18ndGxBS5FdBepr697FNiBPviupkOcNfPFTeFM-tY/s400/WTF-Snowglobes.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 321px;" /></a><br /><br />Which brings me to their latest collection. Ligorano and Reese have just released their Seven Deadly Sins Snowdomes, which I would LOVE to have.

They use collaboration to blend diverse talents into a singular voice and vision. In the process of creating their work, their individual contributions cross and criss-cross between each other from brainstorming to realizing and making the art on location or in the studio.<br /><br />They use unusual materials and industrial processes to make their limited edition multiples, videos, sculptures and installations, moving easily from dish towels, underwear, and snow globes, to electronic art and computer controlled interactive installations.<br /><br />They take and manipulate images, audio and text from old media: print, television, radio and combine that with the new: internet and mobile telecommunications. Their pursuit is an ongoing investigation into the impact of technology on culture and the associations and meanings that the media brings to images, language and speech in politics.<br /><br /><a href="http://ligoranoreese.net/">Ligorano and Reese</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pureproductsusa.com/">Pure Products, USA</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">special thanks to </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/" style="font-style: italic;">See-Ming Lee</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> for the additional photos</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Check out these other 7 deadly sins related items:</span><br /><a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/01/kacper-hamiltons-7-deadly-wine-glasses.html"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">•Kacper Hamilton's 7 Deadly Wine Glasses</span></span></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2008/10/rossignol-has-artists-to-depict-7.html" style="font-weight: bold;">•Rossignol Has Artists Depict The 7 Deadly Sins On Skis.</a></span><br><br>

The collaborative team, which have been working together since 1993, draw from art historical references ranging from Goya and Persian miniatures to literary references from William Blake to Zadie Smith.<br /><br />The photographs are also influenced by pictorial Chinese landscape painting which use negative space as atmosphere and small figures in wide expanses. The images tell expressive tales of lonesome travelers in the frozen wilderness that contain an arctic topography of snow-clad hills, boulders and dead trees where one or more tiny sculpted people are passing through or stranded. The result is a stage everyone is bound to enter when life has lost its warmth and promise, at which point finding a new way becomes desperately urgent.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.cerealart.com/controlpanel/images/cerealart/Martin&Munoz-AWinterWalk-2006.jpg" style="width: 546px; height: 303px;" /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">A Winter Walk</span>, 2006, </span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">C-Print mounted on Plexiglas,<br />39 x 65 inches, Edition of 6 </span><br /><br /><img src="http://www.cerealart.com/controlpanel/images/cerealart/Martin&Munoz-HowStrangeItIsToBeAnythingAtAll-_2007.jpg" style="width: 545px; height: 235px;" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Wish and Weight</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>, 2007, </span> <span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">C-Print mounted on Plexiglas, 26 x 60 inches, Edition of 6. </span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><img src="http://www.cerealart.com/controlpanel/images/cerealart/Martin&Munoz-TheMailBoat-2005.jpg" style="width: 534px; height: 199px;" /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Mail Boat</span>, 2007, </span><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">C-Print mounted on Plexiglas,<br />38 x 100 inches, Edition of 7.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.cerealart.com/controlpanel/images/cerealart/Martin&Munoz-Traveler170atNight-.jpg" style="width: 536px; height: 646px;" /><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Traveler 170 at Night</span>, 2005, </span> <span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">C-Print mounted on Plexiglas, 33 x 40 inches, Edition of 5.<br /><br />Below are some more images of c-prints taken from their site.
