Integrating the Spirals: Fun mug art and art class debacle

Okay, I'm back with more fun mugs, if for no other reason than to get my spirits up after that debacle of an art class last night! Ha! I made a little video of it, so you can laugh! I’m laughing now… really! I don’t know why I made such a big deal within my own head about it last night. I think I was depressed.

Casts of Pompeii victims go on display in new permanent exhibition

Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel says the goal is dignity and understanding. Archaeologist Silvia Martina Bertesago says modern tests reveal age, sex, disease, and diet.
