It has a beginning, middle and end, which can also be interpreted as the cycle of birth and death, and all the life in between them. When you look at the way Tapissary interprets the cycle, a curious thing happens. Each stage of the cycle takes on certain attributes, not so much tied to sequential time, but rather where on the spectrum of living they come. The cycle in Tapissary is both aspectual and temporal, but more so the former. Looking at the descriptions of the steps in a cycle, please notice how their qualities are more concerned with what happens due to time, rather than just a plain timeline. To illustrate this, let's look at the sentence "We bought some souvenirs at the Observatory". This is describing your outing to the observatory. Where in that outing does the shopping fit? If you were to look at it entirely as a timeline, the purchasing of souvenirs would probably come pretty close to the end, perhaps at the 5th step in the cycle. But that's not the way this works. You instead choose which aspect is the most appropriate to your shopping. If it's an enthusiastic part of the cycle, you might choose the second step of the cycle, if it's just the normal kind of thing you do without much thought, it could be the first step, and if it is indeed a focus on the winding down of the outing, you certainly can use the fifth step. Time and aspect intermingle, but the main focus is on the aspect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/ffe59b36-06e6-4667-94ef-65a72f01f1f5/UnderConstruction.png Old Basic Cycle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1544907465854-YHVS8VJG42IX2ODRWOBP/Corris+Scene+2.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537856102322-TYDW7VQ2ACEASVDJSK9X/chicken_b.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/2cf9e60f-0a13-4974-99dc-c2e0aa46a0fa/RedBanner.png Old Basic Cycle - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1544771157982-MOV2XPWNYRZ6Z4QOS27Y/Awakening+mountains+corrected+2.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1545454635995-UB4MK9NS2AL4ZN1G3AIE/Build+Oatmeal+egg.jpg Old Basic Cycle This sample sentence has been rendered into the 2nd mood leading to the 2nd gesture, which you see in the diagram. Of course, diagrams do not appear in actual texts, but I wanted to show how you can visualize the position of a sentence in the cycle. Here you see the movement is entirely contained within the 2nd stage of the cycle. I have stretched the diagram so I could fit in the words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537718181135-IBU915WJFTLUM00EXVME/Clans.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1544502226081-16TWRZKNMOUVN009N9AL/Corris+Journey.jpg Old Basic Cycle In Tapissary, a cyclic journey has a shape. Of course, you don’t actually draw this shape in physical space, but it is a shape in contextual space. What it shows is how scenes (each scene containing one or more cycles) follow a sequence with some kind of effort to create a simpler, digestible path. Were it rather jumping all over the place on the graph, it would appear that you are describing a suite of events that fluctuate wildly and/or unpredictably. It’s up to the discretion of the user. Were I to have made the above story with a jumpy mood sequence, that would also fit, since it was a challenging, fast paced morning. However, by making it conform to a smoother path, and mostly keeping to the first mood (used for lists of things), I am suggesting that this may just be another typical day for the main character in the story below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1544661311800-FVB9POC3RYAQBUMPPG3Q/I+was+the+oatmeal.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1545167817880-77LERA367ISY6YXU3HEM/Corris+Scene+5.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537669885262-V8I50174WV20CSLAPTPU/IMG_0264.jpg Old Basic Cycle In Tapissary, the world reveals its dynamic nature with time.

There is an alphabet for spelling. When you use foreign words or names, you can choose to preserve the original by preceding it by the word ‘sosh’ (which means ‘such’). In this way, a Tapisreal word can undergo infixes and other grammatical applications in lieu of the original. Now, that said, if you wish, you have the right to transform a non-Tapisreal word. I could have inserted ‘ydr’ into sixpence giving: siydrixpence. Instead, I applied ‘ydr’ into the word ‘sosh’ giving soydrosh. One more note: Tapissary is written with alternating lines read forward and backward down the text. See more about this in the tab BACKWARD SCRIPT. Usually, poetry is an exception and is written either entirely forward, or entirely backward. But here, I chose to write it out in the normal alternating form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1545167909183-D0IX3FSI1YZ5YHZ4ADLP/Corris+scene+7.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537718096250-FRDYL886TPSSHVQ9QRLP/Gestures.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1544907429925-WJHS7LD846841F6UR4V1/Corris+Scene+1.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1544907491384-0RJZBQBSM4C3N8W3XS8O/Corris+Scene+3.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537720227621-KA2BROX33VNL992F11WS/Grammar2.jpg Old Basic Cycle https://www.tapissary.net/texts-stories daily 0.75 2018-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537588048598-BTH8APGG046CG30VXE2O/2015+adobe+town.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537588111018-A0VV9P0TWWLK1X1Y921G/2015+bottles.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537587909371-XTC7DPDMRIZMQLFDJCIN/2015+botanical.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537587966676-NTMBJRU760JXC653D2BM/2015+ship+harbor.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537588010233-LCVUPL3LBK6WFVROZNZY/2015+bee.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537544881851-4VA0O7GLUP3D7H5QWWKQ/emp3.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537588080741-87JAZBBY2KI4RWQ9FTUL/2015+Daniel.jpg Texts + Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537736704918-QEAHQCY2SWMGYQI5DZ1T/TextsnStories2.jpg Texts + Stories https://www.tapissary.net/vocabulary daily 0.75 2018-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540877276-C8BEI40OP1FOSAJP7APE/cell_1.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540890444-SYSMPADDH0YH88YNORXI/cell_2.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540898719-T1MBJI4FNM9ZXR6GYSDM/cell_4.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540925116-VWUHSXGURNM58WMP54SG/cell_8.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540933446-VU7KLRMF6FLGZL6MJQ7B/cell_7.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540939998-U8CKT1JZDRY3TMDSIMKC/cell_6.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540970085-IY74AVJ6KEIQ4QAOEQZW/cell_9.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537540984653-5YSYW89S5FZC5LJ0U0WK/cell_a.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537541961492-9QJM82UA4QWWUQX3A1MU/bous_a.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537542004617-EOHE16EKW1S8ZC6O2PLF/bous3.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537542025206-8QO8UR8CCJ509JZOFR7W/bous4.jpg Vocabulary History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537720351916-GCG634Y041RNUIIER2M6/Vocabulary2.jpg Vocabulary History https://www.tapissary.net/venticello daily 0.75 2018-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537754167687-3MSQDUX9MOI4C2SUJQI3/2+Venticello.jpg Venticello And yet another zoomed in view of the same glyphs for “You and I”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537754245950-QVFS6XIVZFL7949M5DVM/samefull.jpg Venticello Another set of glyphs from the same exhibit.

These chairs under spotlight dwarfed the visitors.

From languages like Klingon and Dothraki in blockbuster productions, to the diverse personalities engaging in the practice today, to its relevance in education and even efforts to save dying languages — there's much more to conlanging than almost anyone might imagine. The art of language construction is currently undergoing a renaissance, as the emergence of the Internet empowers its communities and popular culture embraces it as an important detail in world-building for sci-fi and fantasy. This revelatory film tells the rich story of passions that have expanded far beyond Tolkien’s “secret vice.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537720469059-339A7S1MGKGGFDB9V0MQ/IMG_0274.jpg Films https://www.tapissary.net/news daily 0.75 2024-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1546497061472-5LHWC2RIY6K1QLWZ4QAH/smiley2018standard.png News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/0f9e4575-e35f-4110-833a-db61e7de02f5/Cactus+at+Huntington+Gardens.png News - Make it stand out This work above, was also done for my art class.

During lockdown, the class I took was conducted in zoom. The school is very relaxed, and allows students to choose the paintings in any given category they would like to copy. Copying after the masters traditionally had been part and parcel in art training, but I never had it before, and wish I had as there is so much to learn with each piece.

are 4 words composing the sentence. I have written the same sentence forwards, then backwards to show how the look changes. Two of the words have backward forms, WHO and THE. Notice how the arm WHO extends the whole length of the sentence, carrying the other 3 words. The second backward word is the pin THE which pierces the arm. You can write the word THE as an arm as well. You can also write the word WHO as a pin. The above example shows the standard and perhaps most logical way to do it, however variations are up to the person writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538169424252-HEI6G8X3Q5QSOM4GGOQT/6.jpg Backward Script Dictionary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538169399401-SBT0UR38HNHVFAWJKK4M/5.jpg Backward Script Dictionary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538258550633-5T03RPGES6ELT4MM12M7/7.jpg Backward Script Dictionary Note above, for the word SOMETHING, you will see the numbers 1 and 2 to the right. This is the stroke order. It makes it easier to start with stroke one, then write stroke 2 above it. Stroke 3 is squeezed between 1 and 2. Stroke 4 is the furthest to the left which ends in the long horizontal line. The numbers are shown only as an instruction, they are not written as part of the glyph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538258572605-BSABNFBBQ31Z9M89HVGE/8.jpg Backward Script Dictionary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1537993085492-IP3PQEY8BM6ZC9CF08ZD/forward+backward.jpg Backward Script Dictionary https://www.tapissary.net/grammar-basic daily 0.75 2022-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1545348344077-7OINW8ZUV4TV4QQKW0ZI/SUN.jpg Old Grammar - Basic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/32d92e19-461a-413f-a872-336a7a8028c1/dictionary+book+picture.png Old Grammar - Basic - Make it stand out As of the very beginning of September 2022, I'm beginning to copy pretty much the entire Tapissary dictionary, which also includes both the glyph and spoken vocabularies. It will take approximately a year to complete, as I must write each glyph with the computer mouse. The second edition of the dictionary was written in 1999 with some 8,000 glyphs, but since Tapissary was originally a written language only without voice, not for another decade did spoken words start appearing. Perhaps only about one thousand glyphs currently have a spoken equivalent, so as I compose this third edition of the dictionary, I need to complete the work in all the aspects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538447315252-8HQQMQRNF7O800GA3E8X/PrepositionChart.jpg Old Grammar - Basic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538595375650-KO80M7TK806R42OZPKTK/THE+malleable.jpg Old Grammar - Basic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/ffe59b36-06e6-4667-94ef-65a72f01f1f5/UnderConstruction.png Old Grammar - Basic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/32c3d0bc-4bb0-469a-9adc-225b153319ff/I+am+a+bus+driver.png Old Grammar - Basic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1545347620024-6GK37ACT4T0LLMF6R4NU/Gopher.jpg Old Grammar - Basic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/a7f6e7bf-4ff7-4c84-9f69-7fa944836687/Preposition+Chart.png Old Grammar - Basic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/16a1f105-e2a1-4ba7-964b-d3129f21f4c2/plural+chart.png Old Grammar - Basic - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1539059908514-TIZ6ZJESDKXM9FV06L14/THE+to.jpg Old Grammar - Basic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1545286634316-NGE8LTXG2HDH3KUSIFKU/Fly+Text+2.jpg Old Grammar - Basic Questions in Tapissary do not reverse the verb and subject as they do in English. “But what is that word?

Drawing the thick lines closer together would have helped to accentuate the three points of light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1538528527407-9GYJMSPTNR1X3QXBHN0J/Inktober+2018+banner.jpg Inktober 2018 https://www.tapissary.net/grammar-fiction-cycle daily 0.75 2022-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1546667290234-B91STNV70MQDOD5Q486V/IMG_0454.JPG Old Fiction Cycle The distance from Reality to Fiction, and from Fiction to Reality.

Oil on linen. Aug 2022 9” x 9” These are the same limes as the previous painting below. I may continue to work on this piece, or I may choose instead to keep its abstraction. In the forefront is a lemon with dabs of ornamental color, taking it as far away from its natural color as the fabric, which in real life is tar black and stained beige. All of the color catered to my whims. You might say the use of color, texture and line here reflect the Spatial Grammar of Tapissary, in that while the objects keep true to their form and placement as posed on my table, in this case, the painting is portrayed with inarguable subjectivity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1543472026017-E6CWWL36YDTP9A2JZPKJ/the+valley%2C+los+angeles.jpg Just Art Looking toward the valley.

Oil on linen. July 2022 9” x 9” I had some old limes and a lemon in my refrigerator. One lime had turned yellow ochre on its rind. The colors intrigued me, and now that I have been painting in oils again the past year, these old limes were irresistible. The ceramic bottle is by one of my classmates in ceramic class toward the beginning of the millennium. This bottle had paper thin walls, as Joe was a master potter. The sculpted bird on top used to have a long beak. The still life rests on a piece of fabric which I believe might be from Laos. I intend to use this textile again in future paintings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1543471712037-AHB457QUOABFTNNDPKRK/greek+vase.jpg Just Art Another work I drew for my journal.

I decided to lighten the theme, and turned the shadow side of a mountain into a dry grass field hugging a lake. This morphed the hillside into a flat plain. While retaining many of the original houses and trees, I went with additional abstract elements, such as the flat building in front, and a free for all perspective with sail boats. The top of the hill was pushed way back simply by lightening it with mist. When I painted over “Backlit Hill” to arrive at this new version, I made sure to keep much of it intact. Had I repainted everything, all the history would have been lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/306ae965-8e94-4602-b267-0a72f0ab5753/Wagon+Ride+3+2024+2048dpi.png Recent Paintings - Make it stand out “WAGON RIDE” Oil, acrylic, cold wax, and paper mixed media on heavy paper. 18”w x 12”h. March 2024 This is a collage study for a larger painting I plan to do in the near future. Adding cold wax to my materials is a new adventure for me, which I’m enjoying greatly. The technique I used is to first adhere my paper elements to the heavy paper support with an archival glue. Paper elements included book pages, my drawings and simple acrylic designs I painted over a brown shopping bag. then I coated that with an acrylic medium to protect it. When the acrylic was dry, I sanded the surface to soften it from sharp edges. The rest of the procedure was in cold wax and oil application. Painting the faces was done with a fine brush, but most of the time I prefer using larger brushes and palette knives which help keep the style from getting too tight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/63c48f72-28b7-4b8a-9a29-ecfd8cbb33b4/ArmyOfGrass.png Recent Paintings - Make it stand out “Army of Grass” Oil on linen with mosaic frame. 16” x 16” including frame. 2025 The subject is the clay village of Venticello that I built. The garden plants, especially tall grass, are encroaching on the village. Constructing a mosaic frame around my paintings are meant to be part of the whole composition. I try to bring out elements of the painting into the frame, and vice versa. I have purposely painted some square tiles of a similar size and color into the painting itself, to reflect the glass tiles around the composition. Likewise, ceramic leaf tiles continue the vegetation theme of the painting into the frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/5f62e5ee-93ac-461e-b352-c4143155ada8/MASONS+page+9+tree+12+x+9.png Recent Paintings - Make it stand out “Unknown Masons” page 9.

Oil on wood panel. 24” x 18” Jan 2024 UPDATE: The image below shows the same painting with major alterations. It’s just what sometimes happens when the painting insists on its own way, and alters the artist’s original plan. The piece may be finished - I’m thinking about it, but there is still glare, now on the right side of the painting. Photographing oils is a skill beyond me, so far. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/98cb19e1-5999-4d0a-98ce-9417e1130dc6/Woods+to+the+Beach.png Recent Paintings - Make it stand out “Woods to the Beach” Oil on wood panel. 24”w x 18”h Jan 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/f3f97ab8-770a-48e6-bc56-c5cc935cf1df/Returning+Home+16x12+72dpi.png Recent Paintings - Make it stand out “RETURNING HOME” Oil and cold wax on wooden board. 16”w x 12”h Feb. 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba3ed81c46f6d76d52bd03a/1705635354258-A2OBK8UOP372SUET1BRJ/recent+paintings+banner+150+x+600+offset.png Recent Paintings
