Hello and Welcome to my Large Format Website Magazine and Sculpture Gallery

My Oblique Perspective for Tuesday, October 26, 2021

Today I have two new recent posts to present you. Compiled almost back-to-back they are both subjects that have been on my mind for some time now.

Calacatta – A New Name For The Old Colorado Yule Marble: Click Here to Link

The first of the two deals with the latest name change for Colorado Yule marble - Calacatta - and I have a good time rrrrroling such an Italian word off my tongue that I'm sure you will too, once you get into it. You'll notice how forcefully and clearly I promote the idea that, as both financial and material investors in the old Yule marble quarry, the current quarry owners have every right in the world to call their product whatever they may wish.

I'm just glad that they are here and taking our good ol' Colorado State Rock to heights never seen before... and Yule has had quite a heck of a prestigious past, as explained extensively in my article of the same name: Click Here to be duly amazed at Colorado Yule Marble's Impressive past.

The second article of the two recalls the extraordinary lengths I had to go in order to simply earn the right to be instructed in how to carve stone properly, the right way, the way it has been done for a thousand years, thousands of years in fact: the Banker Masonry way. And I tell you, I won't spoil the surprise but, that was one hell of a trial by ordeal if ever there was one.

Anyway, just writing those two essays, and attaching all of the pictures, served to rekindle my interest and appetite for martincooney.com, a project that has been with me since 2013.

And so, after taking quite a lengthy break from my Website Magazine, as I like to think of it, as usual at this time of the year, when the nights roll in earlier and earlier, the evenings grow ever longer and yet longer until they squeeze out all daylight completely and dark nights, for a while, take complete and total control of your life! Well, then I don't feel too bad whiling away my time on a computer. So, I'll keep you posted.
