Open To Interpretation
Notes: game on...on the radio...Dodgers and Rockies in LA...Angels off tonight...to bottom of 7th...Dodgers 8-0...this win will put them in first over the Rockies like by a half game...Diamondbacks went into a slump...it looked all season they'd win the division...Rockies pulled themselves up from way back...Dodgers too somewhat, but expected Dodgers would make play offs...but the two of them are in a dogfight for division win or wild card slot...tried again with the cosmic seashell I was trying to do...made the mistake of watching on youtube, how to paint seashells with acrylics, and happened on one clip showing water reflections over sand and seastar...insomuch I have gone on about those kinds of reflections, and nets, which they look like, I felt bound to try to paint them too!...and could, if I was patient enough to wait for the paint to dry...but keep pushing things wet in wet...when I did the sun grid cosmic seashell, the one without a shell!, the one all orange with a grid, I scratched the grid in with the back end of the paint brush...some plastic handled brushes are tapered just to do this...useful to draw in a design wet in wet...and, it kind of worked...made the dots in that one with the back of a pencil...so, looking at the wavering reflections in the clip, I thought, 'I can do that scratching in'...but to do it the paint can't have dried...and yesterday I lost it, the seastar, even before getting to the scratching...so, today, I did up a shell, trying to stylize the curly cue spirals with the brush with double colors (two colors loaded on brush), and, and while it isn't there yet, I can see I'm getting closer at doing that...an all wet into wet shell...so, I tried to scratch across the shell, but it had dried too much...a few scratches got through...then I did a soupy wet grey/blue back ground...one can do 'blooms and blossoms' with acrylic, one time, while it's all wet, and was tempted to do that, but no, thickened everything up a bit, and tried the scratches...well, the idea is there!...the execution, not so much...now I have in mind to model a seastar out of clay, load up paint on it, print it into the canvas...here I'm trying to visualize what I'll have?...maybe the star will look okay, or, I can go back into it with a brush, or, it just won't look right...and about then while it is good and wet and ok, I can go across it scratching, or even with a brush edge very wet...see what happens!...that done, I can do the background with the reflections and meld them with the seastar/shell...'visualization!'...AAs refrain for preparing to make those big format photos...a real necessity with those cumbersome cameras to lug around with the glass photo negative plates!...watching painting demo clips is cloying...one finds oneself imitating...by now, I've forgotten all the instructors' demos in the art classes...the suggestions, the criticisms!...one wants a clear head to do what one wants!...best to come up with one's own techniques!...Rockies got some runs somehow...Dodgers 8-2...to bottom of 8th...baseball hitters have some of the self same dilemma...to be oneself, or imitate someone else...this post one hundred thirteenth in series...see previous...a follow on from yesterday: why do cymatic patterns look like diatoms?...a worser: why do cymatic patterns look like turtle shells!!!...brb...

If this is related to cymatics, then you get turtle shell shapes at 1021Hz, 2041Hz, 1088Hz and 1085Hz.

However, we recently learned of a second possible source of low frequency sound in the oceans. In 1996 scientists discovered pure tones in the vicinity of hydrothermal vents in French Polynesia, using the SOSUS underwater sounds listening station. They theorize that the largest bubbles, generated by the vents, act like Helmholtz Resonators, effectively tuning out all frequencies except those that resonate with the gas cavity formed by the bubble. Thus, we have two potential candidates for the source of pure sound that created life.

I...I dunno...the cymatic turtle shell was bad enough...the cymatic trilobite is over the top!...too much to hope for that there is a cymatic scarab beetle...

The SCARAB Beetle Reveals the True Shape of Earth???

a curio!...author has it the Egyptian scarab artistries represent the stars moving overhead at the Equator...ones over head making a straight path, ones either side curving--like the reflection in a spoon!...has some examples...see if I can find one...Dodgers win with eleven left to go...in first by one half game, and tied with Cardinals for wild card slot...

pinterest messed up links...that crop circle scarab has the feature the author goes on about...the equator/equator stars run down the middle of the scarab, and the wings represent stars to either side appearing to fan/curve...so, one is looking at earth stylized as a scarab...that's an ingenious 'get'...author side by sides the notion with other Egyptian motifs...and, with this overlay,'scarab with wings/earth with stars', things fit!

Tutankhamun. Inlaid pectoral, scarab beetle with Isis and Nephthys
Winged, large scarab beetle riding on a sacred barque and flanked by the goddesses Isis and Nephthys. The scarab serves a double function: as a heart scarab and as the ba of the sun god lighting the way to the underworld.
Necklace with falcon pendant, Tutankhamun, The Egyptian Museum, Cairo
Collar of Neferuptah
This necklace is one of the treasures discovered in the tomb of Princess Neferuptah , daughter of Amenemhat III , at Hawara

thing too about the scarab is that it has the turtle/trilobite oval shape...that in a sec...and if the scarab represents the earth, then the hawk in the same pose does too!...and the starry wings for both...the pectoral with Isis and Nephtyhys is full of the star emblems I've gone on about...the banded border, the starry fish nets dresses, the cobras banded, even the 'above and below' hand gestures of the goddesses...it all fits!...the heraldry hold true from one vignette to another...from scarab, to hawk, to lotuses....

in second pic note how carefully the low flowers on right and left--one tall middle, two splayed on either side...are depicted...this is never missed!...one flower with petals, or multiple flowers...hmmph...that T is something too...that showed up in those pics in recent post while going on about djed four pillars...one is naturally pulled to the notion that the Egyptians, and other ancients, are just being pleasingly symmetrical with their bilateral symmetries...not so!...and, it's getting late...post, and follow on tomorrowmorrow!...
