What advice can you offer someone who might like to explore his or her creative side for the first time?
nIcK Try some of the above and don’t worry if you can’t draw a straight line: nature doesn’t have many!
JEnnIFER I think studying the work of other Artists is an invaluable exercise. It helps to train our eye to work with our hand. I pick an Artist to study each year and read about their life and learn about their work. It is inspiring to see how much devotion it takes in making the commitment to be an artist. It is that hard work and consistency that is necessary to get to the final goal. It takes patience and tenacity to keep going even when you are not getting the results you want.
JAnET Personally I have gained a lot from reading books about artists whose work I admire, and also self-help books about exploring the mediums I enjoy. I would also highly recommend attending as many workshops and classes as possible to explore your creativity. Feel free to explore new mediums, which may open new doors for you. I worked only in watercolours for several years, but it was not until 2010, when I had the opportunity to take part in the first of a series of workshops “in coloured pencil” by Margaret Best, that I began to feel very comfortable with this medium and have used it with success in recent exhibitions.As a group, please tell us a little about the exhibit.
“Island Narrative: Land and Sea” is a collaborative show with artists Nicholas Silk, Jennifer Keats and Janet Percy and Chris Burville in the Rick Faries Gallery at Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art in the Botanical Gardens. The work will be broad as the title suggests. The exhibition is part of Masterworks ongoing 4+4=1 Exhibits: 4 Artists + 4 Perspectives = 1 Exhibit.

HeALTH & beauty
the FaceLift of the Futureby willi lawrenCe, R.N. Thermage... This FDA approved procedure is now one of the most popular anti aging treatments being used today. This is accomplished by using controlled radio frequency energy to tighten tissue and increase Collagen production. With aging, Collagen production slows so skin becomes loose and saggy causing wrinkles and fine lines to develop. Unlike lasers Thermage works on all skin types so patients with darker skin can be treated.
Also known as the Thermalift procedure, patients no longer need to take time off in order to define their jaw line, lift their eyebrows, tighten their neck and reduce wrinkles around their cheeks and mouth. We are the only skin care clinic that offers this physician- only treatment in Bermuda performed by a registered nurse. The machine is only purchased through a plastic surgeon or dermatologist office. We are proud to introduce the latest treatment tips that are larger, faster and more effective than before. The treatment session can range from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the site being treated.
Thermage for men is becoming the trend for basically the same reasons that women are attracted to Thermage. There is no downtime and the results are very natural. In todays job market there is so much competition especially for high level professionals that a youthful look is becoming as important to men as it is for women. As the word gets out we will see more men taking advantage of this skin tightening opportunity.
Thermage is the only non-invasive procedure that can lift sagging eyebrows, increase prominence of the cheekbones, re-define the jaw line and improve appearance of saggy necks in a single session that can last for years. No surgery, no needles, no downtime! Call Ms. lawrence for a free consultation to see if you are a candidate 441 295 9963.
Love your Lashesby haniFah sMiTh, BEAUTY SPECIALIST
Every woman wants long, luxurious eyelashes - that’s why we buy so many different kinds of mascara and false eyelashes. At Lush, we offer the latest, in trend and beauty products services, such as single eyelash extensions and LashFood cosmetics.single eyelash extensions enhance the thickness and length of your lashes and create the illusion that you’re wearing eyeliner. There are several different kinds of extensions; mink, silk and synthetic. Mink lashes are the best quality, most natural looking and also the most expensive. silk lashes are soft and lightweight. synthetic lashes are the most cost effective. Length, thickness, and curl are all adjustable to best suit each client’s desired look. We have a variety of lashes for customizing looks.The extensions are attached using specially formulated eyelash extension glue (formaldehyde free). The lash extensions are glued directly onto your own lashes - top only - one by one and placed as close to the root as possible. The appointment can take over an hour, and you’ll need to keep your eyes closed most of the time. Many people listen to their iPods and often fall asleep.The lashes can bend or get tangled when you sleep on them or rub your eyes, so clients are shown how to comb them with a spooley brush. Oil-free makeup removers and facial cleansers are recommended while wearing lash extensions.The extensions fall out one by one as your lashes fall out, which happens naturally every 30 to 60 days. That means your extensions will last for about two months, but you’ll need a touch-up every three or four weeks if you want to maintain the look. Sometimes when your lashes grow out, the extensions grow with them, and you have to trim them. Mascara can fill in any sparse areas. Lush Beauty Specialists are licensed and experienced. Consultations are free.
Lash Food Cosmetics are...• non-prescription, 100% all-natural “Latisse”; an eyelash growing
serum. • clinically proven to grow longer, thicker eyelashes naturally and are
designed to transform frail and brittle lashes into strong, healthy lashes.
• drug-free, safe and effective.• paraben free, prostaglandin free and gluten free. There have not
been any reports of irritation, redness or swelling even for those with extremely sensitive skin and contact lens wearers.
• safe for Chemo patients, although results may differ. • water based and also designed for use with eyelash extensions.
• registered products of the FDA.
LashFood line of cosmetics includes eyelash serum, eyeliner and mascara are all available exclusively at Lush.

Let’s throw you into the deep end to start... Are you planning on popping the question? Here are a few dos & don’ts for proposing this year.
Do your researchDon’t buy the first ring you see based on the fact that you like it and think it looks good. You won’t be wearing it for the rest of your life and there is more to a diamond than meets the eye. That saying also applys to precious metals. Visit Gem Cellar and speak with the experts on everything you will need to know before you make any decisions.
Do tell him or her why you want to get married. Whether you do this before or after the proposal, it is important to be true to yourself and your loved one and while you are at it, be sure to get all of your skeletons out of the closet, especially before your big day.
Don’t hide the ring in food.This can be a perfect recipe for disaster.
Do drop to one knee Let’s not kill this tradition. The simplest of old fashioned gestures go a long way.
Don’t make it too complicated. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Nyotaimori (Japanese: 女体盛り “female body presentation”), often referred to as “body sushi”, is the practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the body of a woman, typically naked. Nantaimori (Japanese: 男体盛り) refers to the same practice using a male model. This subdivision of food play is originally an obscure Japanese practice not common in Japanese culture but that has attracted considerable international media attention.

400 years awaiting the Bishopby dr. edward harris, M.B.E.
When Bermuda was settled in 1612, its church, the Anglican one of the State of England, was placed under the Bishop of London, but it took 400 years before that prelate, in the person of the present bishop, The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Richard Chartres KCVO FSA, set foot in the place. As the Bishop of London in the 1750s, Thomas Sherlock, wrote, ‘for a bishop to live at one end of the world and his Church at another must make the office very uncomfortable to the bishop and, in a great measure, be useless to the people’.A note to His Grace, Bishop Chartres, was penned by the first Governor of Bermuda, Richard Moore in the local newspaper and we are pleased to present some of its contents here, to give some context to that historic religious visit of November 2012.“Looking back from On High and over a perspective of 400 years of the permanent settlement of Bermuda, which began under my governorship, starting in July 1612, I do welcome you to these islands which some regard as Heaven on Earth, albeit some four centuries late. While the Bishop of London was given responsibility for our American colonies those many years ago (‘the care was improperly lodged’), your congregation here is delighted that at long last we shall be able to see the head of the Diocese of London in this paradise. We also hope to hear news of the capital and your words of wisdom and benefaction, as we hope you will deliver sermons to all of your churches hereabouts.”
“Originally, your Church in Bermuda was to comprise four places of worship, the chief at St. George’s, the next in Hamilton Tribe, the next in Pembroke Tribe and the last in Southampton Tribe. However, the early Bermudians disagreed with the four-church regime of the Bermuda Company, so that your congregation eventually had a church in each tribe, all of which remain, albeit in more modern architectural guises.”“Now that you have come, we hope your visit will be a most enjoyable one and of benefit to your far-flung flock in the ‘second most remotest place on earth’. Indeed, you should be pleased with the activities of your Church here in this anniversary year which has assumed, with the consent of Her Majesty, the title of ‘Their Majesties Chappell’ (after a Warrant of William and Mary), a matter related to you as Dean of the Chapels Royal. Your very dedicated and active team there, under the guidance of the Rector of St. Peter’s, the Reverend David Raths CD BA BD, have done much to promote the Church in its four-hundredth year and I do commend him to you for being a very bright star in an otherwise lackluster firmament, as we otherwise used up most of our powder three years ago for the 400th anniversary of the sinking of the Sea Venture (1609).”
The historic nature of Bermuda’s first church was recognized in early postcards.

“While many a storm has this island struck and your Church here ridden out its fair share of tempests, again I welcome you to Bermuda and hope that yours will be a temperate visit that is imbued with all that is blessed about this place, its people and your Congregation.”

When the Somers Isles Company took over Bermuda under a Royal Charter in 1615, no currency was available to the colonists who instead used tobacco as legal tender. To encourage commerce, King James I in June 1615 granted Bermuda permission to produce coinage. Made in denominations of two, three, six and twelve pence, the coins were intentionally made from low-grade, brassy copper to keep them from being taken out of Bermuda because of their intrinsic value.
The obverse of the ‘Hogge Money’ showed a hog with the denominations in roman numerals and the legend ‘SOMMER ISLANDS’ and the reverse a ship, possibly the ‘Sea Venture’. These Somers Isles Company coins were the first English coinage made for use in the Americas with the weight/value ratio based on the weight of tobacco, not the metal content which was far below the stated value of the coins. By 1624 these rather crude coins went out of use.
After the experience with ‘Hogge Money’, Bermuda returned to the barter system with tobacco serving as currency, supplemented with Spanish silver and gold.In 1793 an Act of Parliament incorporated Hamilton as the future capital of Bermuda, relocating from St. George’s in 1815. It was this act that also began the process of having a coin authorized for Bermuda. On February 1st 1793, King George III authorized the issue of not less than £200 sterling in ‘coppers’ for Bermuda. The obverse was to depict George III with the legend ‘Georgius III D.G. REX’ and the engravers name ‘Droz. F’ and the reverse a ship at sea with ‘Bermuda’ above and ‘1793’ below. An act signed by Governor Henry Hamilton in April 1794 stated that coppers were to pass at the same rate as English halfpence – twelve coppers to the shilling.The actual mintage by the Soho Mint in Birmingham was 83,589 coins, however, only an estimated 48,000 ever arrived in Bermuda. As Bermuda was at war with France at the time, it has been suggested that the coins were sent to Bermuda in several shipments and that one of them was captured by the French. Most of the coins that did reach the island were soon exported as the intrinsic value of the coins was more than the face value. By 1823 there were no copper coins left in Bermuda.Since 1793 no other coins were produced for Bermuda until the commemorative crowns of 1959 and 1964 and it wasn’t until 1970, when Bermuda adopted the decimal currency, that coins have been minted regularly for Bermuda.In more recent years a ‘fantasy crown’ has made its appearance showing a bust of King Edward VIII and ‘EDWARD VIII KING & EMPEROR’ on the obverse and again a ship at sea with ‘BERMUDA’ and ‘1936’ on the reverse, similar to the 1793 copper. No such coin was ever issued. www.anthonypettit.com

Anthony is a dealer in most types of antiquities relating to Bermuda (otherwise called the Somers Isles), particularly maps, books, prints, paintings and ephemera. Catergories include charts and guides, manuscripts, pamphlets, letters, documents, ships’logs, newspapers and magazines, albums and scrapbooks, papers on geology, geography, race relations, reports and memiors on the Dockyard, maritime and military publications.
Of all the ‘Hogge Money’ found, the shilling (XII pence) is the most common coin, about 50 known to exist. The threepence coin is the rarest, with less than half a dozen known. No one penny coin has ever been found.
When the Bermuda Ship’s Penny was minted in 1793 – the year that Louis XVI was put to death by guillotine and France and England were at war – it was obviously difficult to ship coins to Bermuda. With French and Spanish ships engaging every British ship they could, it was decided to dispatch the coins on several ships, some of which were obviously captured by the French.
In 1959 Bermuda issued its first Crown to
commemorate the 350th Anniversary of the wreck
of the ‘Sea Venture’ in 1609. It was the first
Bermuda coin issued since the 1793 Ship’s
Penny. 100,000 Crowns were minted.
During 1965, unofficial Crowns, showing King Edward VIII, were offered for sale in the United Kingdom and the United States. Dated 1936, the obverse shows King Edward VIII and the reverse a sailing ship similar to the 1793 ‘Coppers’. As these coins were not issued officially, they are considered ‘Fantasy Crowns’.
Until 1970, when Bermuda changed from Sterling to the Decimal
Currency, British coins were in use on the island. In 1951 Great Britain
struck 120,000 One Penny coins, however, none were issued in Great
Britain. In 1956 some of the Pennies were shipped to Bermuda, making
them quite valuable.

Jessica trained in Hotel & Tourism Management at the Swiss German University in Indonesia and gained work experience both in her home city and in Germany.What brought you to the island of Bermuda, what do you love about living here and where to next?I was looking for some overseas work experience. It was difficult to get a work permit anywhere besides the Middle East or Caribbean so I choose Bermuda.I spend a lot of time experimenting with cooking, trying new things. The Island is just a beautiful place to be and I am enjoying it. After my time here on the island and working at Bolero, I might travel for a while and do some writing, another passion of mine.
Tell us about working at Bolero. It is a great job, I really enjoy it. I have a good boss; he gives me lots of trust. I can discuss things with him. He treats me like a partner not an employee.

preparaTion1. TRIM a good-sized filet of beef; smear it generously with butter and
sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
2. Place the filet in a flat pan with scraps of celery, onion, and parsley, 1 bay leaf, and a pinch of rosemary and roast it in a very hot oven (450°F) for about 25 minutes. Remove it and let it cool.
3. When the filet is cold, spread it with a substantial layer of pâté de foie gras and wrap it in pie pastry, rolled about ⅛-inch thick. Trim the edges of the pastry; moisten them with a little cold water, and press firmly together.
4. Bake the rolled filet on a baking sheet in a hot oven (450°F) for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is delicately browned. For a shiny crust, brush the surface with beaten egg yolk before baking.
sauce: Add 1 cup of veal or chicken stock and ¼ cup pâté de foie gras to the roasting pan. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes and serve it separately.
