06: The Blue Closet
The Blue Closet is just a little room for site information, notes, brick to the brack, and whatever small things need a spot on the Scriptorium shelf.

SITE REVIEWS: SOME KIND OR CRITICAL WORDS
The Gatehouse is a wonderful site in its own right and worth daily visits. They have an Otten’s Award of Elegance they offer some sites along with a review. This is the nice one they did for Bajema’s Web. Many thanks to them!
—”Bajema’s Web: An artist’s website must represent an extension of that artist’s skill and sense of beauty, for it gives the viewer not only an immediate understanding of the artist’s aesthetic; it must convince possible employers instantly and invite to further inspection of the artwork on display.
“Not often gets one to see a website that impresses and amazes on first sight and fails to disappoint even under closer scrutiny. Miss Bajema’s pages cling together in delicate perfection and seem all designed with individual consideration. A woman’s touch is undeniable in the details that make for a subconsciously agreeable visiting experience.
“Although the structure of the websites shifts somewhat when the visitor explores its different sections, its theme, a clever mix of color and graphics, keeps it all together elegantly, making the transfer from page to page smooth, even enchanting. One senses no annoyance, rather a mild curiosity over what to find beyond a link, and Miss Bajema never seizes to exceed expectations.
“With an decorous sepia color scheme, exquisite graphics and spectacular artwork, Miss Bajema’s website makes for a lavish artwork in itself, a testament of sheer elegance in design, and a proud accomplishment definitely rewarding of our award.”

THE SCRIPTORIUM’s CURRENT DESIGN
My blog’s current design was crafted many moons ago by my fiancee Myke as a little web geek gift to me. Given how much I like the design and how squishy I am when it comes to web geek displays of affection, the Scriptorium will most likely keep this design until the mood strikes for him to make me a new design. A few other of my beloved artist lover trinkets include my dark hearts, pineapples and winged lemur mascot below and the Empress card in the tarot, which represents the Taurus… which I happen to be. These pieces are 5×7 inch etchings on clayboard, (c) copyright 2008 Myke Amend.

Myke and I are quite fond of lemurs (and uttering the phrase lemur lemur in a quick and strange way) and consider them our mascot –well, the second in line mascot to our first and number one mascot, our slightly mentally challenged dwarf feline Sweetpea– So it totally tickles us that the current article of interest right now is the possibility that the missing link happens to be a lemur. Lemur Lemur!!
Speaking of mascots, this is the Scriptorium’s true mascot, a pint size
ball of fur and evil, Sweetpea. She’s peeking around and silently plotting
your doom… or trying to decide if she can eat your eyeballs.
