I haven't done one of my #TodaysCurio posts in a while.

While at the Tate I bought this hand thrown miniature vase by #ceramicist #artist Yuta Segawa

I liked the shape of this one and the glaze is pretty flawless and consistent. They were all very skilfully made, very symmetrical and uniform. Very impressive for hand made ceramics.

Today's #curios are two small #origami cranes and I have no idea where they are from.

Someone must have made them I guess.

#TodaysCurio is a porcelain bird head I got from the #RoyalCollegeOfArt one year.

I don't know who the #artist is offhanded. I'll have to look it up.

But I liked this piece as soon as I saw it.

Today's #curio is a small flower fridge magnet made from a bottle top that I got from #PalestineHouse in #London

It was a free gift after me and my wife bought two mosaics by donating money to #MedicalAidForPalestinians

A worthy cause.

Today's #curio is a piece of rock. I don't know where it came from and I assume it's my wife's.

I don't even know what kind of rock it is. It's very light and full of holes, so I'm going to say it's a piece of moon rock.

Today's curio is an art piece I got from an art vending machine in the Whitechapel Art Gallery.

I received a gold plated piece of lead by someone called R Claxton.

The box us a bit battered. I got this around 25 years ago. #TodaysCurio

A good plated piece if lead that looks like a took chess piece. String gas been laced through it to tie a card label with a description of the artwork and the artist's name: R Claxton

Behind it is the yellow carton it came in

My next #curio is this solid silver cigarette case that was given to my great half uncle from his work place, who flew a #LancasterBomber during the war which crashed (probably shot down) in the Netherlands, killing all the crew.

It has tarnished a bit so needs a bit of a polish.

I've collected a few objects and #curios over the years and the other day I was looking through them. So I thought I'd post a few here.

First up is a jig saw piece of the sky I got from the #YokoOno exhibition at #TateModern earlier this year.

A piece of a jig saw puzzled blue like the sky with part if a white cloud on it.

Realized curios could be detected with a predicate, made bamboo usable as a snorkle.

edit: due to messy file management, I had put the bamboo in the head tag in the wrong pack since I'm making a few at once. New update has all files it needs to work now :blobcatgoogly:​

#TIL: In loud environments, #birds sing louder (Lombard effect), shorter and earlier in the day. Whether the same selective pressure applies to human activity, to get the message out earlier, in shorter and louder form? #curios #noise #noisepollution #nature #democracy #Communication
