The Grumpy Cheiftan Cat

I've got more company in my shared house a real sweet girl, Ari. She was telling how the cat was giving her judging looks in the middle of the night when she was fumbling her way around in the dark in the new house.. That's so like the cat. She's always grumpy and reminding us of our place in her house!

I visited the Gold and the Incas exhibition last weekend on its very last day and was lucky enough to view everything in leisure unlike at other times when one of my friends got tired because she and her family couldn't see anything and got tired and just decided to leave.

The Ancient Peruvian civilizations art exhibition was just superb.. took me to an entirely different time and place and on a mystical magical journey..

The Incas depicted the three worlds - heavens, the earthly world and the underworld in most of their creations. They used birds to represent the Heaven, feline for the earthly realm and serpents and monsters for the Underworld. Their paintings, carvings and smithy also included a lot of elements showing duality.

I have to say I'm extremely fascinated by their culture and the civilization and their advanced knowledge and technology, especially their inclination to trepanate and modify human skulls..

As I was browsing random images.. this one caught my eye and I decided to make my version of it..
