The harp ukulele is the crossbreed of a harp and a ukulele. This is what their child looks like. All joking aside, the instrument appeared in the US around the 1910s. It gained mainstay recognition in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915. The instrument faded away as quickly as it gained notoriety. These days, not a lot of people play it. As of lately, folks have started to take an interest in this instrument. I hope you liked learning about this fun looking instrument. This is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.

The instrument doesn’t have a standardized scale. It is normally played with the buka, as part of an ensemble of music. In Malaysia, the rebab is important for traditional music.

Today, I did a bjd doll photoshoot. It features my smallest doll in many different outfits. The doll was made by Ringdoll. I wasn’t certain what type of background I wanted to go for. I ended up making two small sets for the photoshoot.   Since she is a small doll, it is pretty easy to set up the background elements. The first set features checkerboard background.   The other is themed after a library. I had a few miniature books in the mix, as well as a novelty sharpener that resembled a typewriter.   As far as the dresses,...
