The rising sun can dispel the darkness...

The rising sun can dispel the darkness of night, but it cannot banish the blackness of malice, hatred, bigotry, and selfishness from the hearts of humanity.

Venetian masks

The Venetian Sun - is a paper mache deco item to hang up on the wall, I bought this in 2000 originally in Venice, Italy. I'm selling this now and if anyone out there is interested, let me know, drop me an email.

Venetian masks are a centuries-old tradition of Venice, Italy. The masks are typically worn during the Carnevale (Carnival of Venice), but have been used on many other occasions in the past, usually as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status. The mask would permit the wearer to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention. It was thus useful for a variety of purposes, some of them illicit or criminal, others just personal, such as romantic encounters.

Venetian masks are characterized by their ornate design, featuring bright colors such as gold or silver and the use of complex decorations in the baroque style. Many designs of Venetian masks stem from Commedia dell'arte. They can be full-face masks (e.g. the bauta) or eye masks (e.g. the Columbina).

Hi my friends,

I want to say so many thanks to all my loyal friends out there for all your wonderful comments to my post yesterday. I appreciate every single one, you always make my day with your supporting comments!

I wish you a wonderful day and see you tomorrow again.
