These are the nets to make two crystals of Hotaru Ishi. Completed solids me be viewed in Galleries → Papercraft → Crystals → Hotaru Ishi. More information about the mineral may be found here; photos of the actual crystals are here.
Enjoy!
Despite the delicious name, this mineral is not edible. It has the features of watermelons if you except the seeds, sweetness and softness. It is a variety of tourmaline. Images of the actual mineral can be seen here—a page that sells jewellery.
More of my images, including the nets, can be viewed in “Galleries” → “Papercraft” → “Crystals” → “Watermelon Stone”.
Next week I hope to introduce a mineral that allegedly glows in the dark.
Enjoy!
Halite or rock salt is an edible mineral.
Just click on the images to get a closer look.
“You are the salt of the earth,” taught the Lord Jesus, referring to salt’s preserving function.
“Let your conversation be seasoned with salt,” advised the apostle Paul.
Though these two gems of wisdom have been around for two millennia, we need them just as much now as we move deeper into the third millennium.
The colours are due partly to contaminations from other minerals. Image and info can be found here.
Halite is the first of six crystals that I am adding to the site. The complete set will eventually be proudly displayed in “Galleries” → “Papercraft” → “Crystals”. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have enjoyed making them.
These are the first three of a new series called “Crystals”. うえの三つの石は「Ｃｒｙｓｔａｌｓ」「結晶」という新しいシリーズの最初のメンバーです。
左にはトルマリンです。スイカ石とも呼ばれています。種だけはありません！もっと知りたかったらここをクリックして下さい。On the left is Tourmaline or Watermelon Stone. The only things missing are the seeds! For more info on just click tourmaline.
At the back on the right is Fluorite, Fluorspar or Hotaru Ishi. The last name is Japanese and suggests a luminescent quality reminiscent of lightning bugs or glow worms. More info at fluorite or hotaru ishi. 後ろと右には蛍石です。もっと知りたかったらここをクリックして下さい。
前と右は岩塩です。もっと知りたかったらここをクリックして下さい。At the front on the right is Halite, more commonly known as Rock Salt. More info at halite.
In the coming weeks I hope to introduce the crystals one by one, starting with Halite next week. I hope you enjoy. 次の数週間の間、結晶をいっこうづつ紹介するつもりです。お楽しみ！
I proudly present Myrtillocactus geometrizans, a delightful cactus with edible berries.
For more images of this papercraft, including the lizard, please click Galleries then Myrtillocactus in the bar above.
For more info on this cactus please click this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrtillocactus_geometrizans.
I apologise for my long silence—due to pressure of work.
It isn’t a moss but it is Irish. That makes it one better than the Guinea pig, which is neither Guinean nor a pig.
Here is the complete weed on a sea background made of the soft wrappings used by florists to wrap bouquets.
For the entire collection of images go to Galleries, Paper Craft, Sea Creatures, Chondrus crispus.
二十五日の「ドア」の意味は、マリヤとヨセフがベツレヘムへ旅して着きました。そこで世の罪を取り除く神の小羊と呼ばれる救い主イエスがお生まれになりました。
「私たちはみな、この方の満ち満ちた豊かさの中から、恵みの上にさらに恵みを受けたのである。というのは、立法はモーセによって与えられ、恵みとまことはイエス・キリストによって実現したからである。」ーーーヨハネ1:16,17
The meaning of the 25th ‘door’ is Mary and Joseph’s journey to and arrival at Bethlehem. There the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, the Saviour Jesus was born.
“From the fulness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”—John 1:16,17
二十四日のドアには敬虔の年配の方が立っています。
「しかし、満ち足りる心を伴う経験こそ、大きな利益を受ける道です。私たちは何一つこの世に持って来なかったし、また何一つ持って出ることもできません。」ーーー１テモテ6:6,7
At the 24th door stands a godly man full of years.
“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.”—1 Timothy 6:6,7
二十三日はドアではありません。ブルーシートをめくってから、赦しを見ます。
「悪者はおのれの道を捨て、不法者はおのれのはかりごとを捨て去れ。主に帰れ。そうすれば、主はあわれんでくださる。私たちの神に帰れ。豊かに赦してくださるから。」ーーーイザヤ55:7
The 23rd is not a door at all, just a blue sheet pulled back to reveal “pardon”.
“Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”—Isaiah 55:7
二十二日のドアの中に立っているのは年配の方、知識です。
「こういうわけですから、あなたがたは、あらゆる動力をして、信仰には徳を、徳には知識を、知識には自制を、自制には忍耐を、忍耐には敬虔を、敬虔には兄弟愛を、兄弟愛には愛を加えなさい。」ーーー２ペテロ1:5-7
Within the 22nd door stands an aged person, knowledge.
“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.”—2 Peter 1:5-7
