I'm Your Venus....

Why Venus of Willendorf?

The truth is, I don’t know, except she’s always intrigued me. Perhaps it’s part of the idea of the importance of artistic object in everyday life even in Paleolithic times. To find out more, the Wikipedia article on her is as good a place to start as any. Check it out here.

It might be that it’s the oldest known artwork, and it’s subject is decidedly female. She looks pretty good for a 25,000 year old woman.

It may be that she very much resembles me! Given today's focus on skinny to the point of unhealthy, it's somewhat empowering to see an image where this was decidedly NOT the valued norm.

Whatever the reason, she’s here.

Be blessed....

I have been told by a certain 'friend' that my blog is boring. Well, yeah. I know that. It's not really intended for mass consumption anyway, but more for me to use as I see fit. That's assuming I actually remember to post to the thing, which, admittedly, I forget to do.

So, to spice things up, and to see who is paying attention, I thought I'd add some info here that might help certain individuals, should they be seeking information about a particular item of jewelry I wear. All I will provide is the picture below. The rest is up to you.
