Month Review - 2
7 months ago
Greetings everyone! Today is Friday the 13th and I have some words on that, but first the review.
If I was to categorize this month with one word that word would be "experimentation." I only put out 9 pieces, because life got a little busier and somewhere along the way I forgot I wanted to get faster. The pictures I'm making are still far from the ones in my heart and head, but I'm getting better with every piece. I also grew my network by opening up my twitter @CuriousStarArt
Thank you for sticking around watchers and welcome to those who joined this month! I hope you'll enjoy what's to come as I continue to grow and explore.

Now for the Friday the 13th note. 716 years ago today, Friday October 13th 1307, the Knights Templar were arrested by King Philip IV of France. He hoped to seize their vaulted riches to pay debts as they were operating as a proto-bank. They were accused of heresy and given a farcical trial, tortured, and executed for the greed of King Philip and the debts he accrued in his failed military campaigns. Many of the riches were absconded away and fell out of the king's hands. It wasn't until 2007 that the Vatican declared the Templars innocent. I can't tell you for certain if that's why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky, but it's a notable event therein.
Okay! That's all for the review and a little bit of interesting history given the day!
