BAMBOOZLE

 

verb    bamboozle [bӕmˈbuːzl]

 

to confuse completely

 

"The bamboos are a group of woody perennial evergreen (except for certain temperate species) plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some are giant bamboos, the largest members of the grass family. Bamboos are the fastest growing woody plants in the world. Their growth rate (up to 60 centimeters (24 in.)/day) is due to a unique rhizome-dependent system, but is highly dependent on local soil and climate conditions.

 

They are of economic and high cultural significance in East Asia and South East Asia where they are used extensively in gardens, as a building material, and as a food source."

 

Here is my own BAMBOO GARDEN and 'techically' IS a building material too !  LOL  ~pmc

The reason I named it and 'defined' bamboozle was to see if any of you know 'what this subject matter' is made of or what the entire piece is used for - certainly not made of bamboo!?! Any guesses as to where this is and what it is (as a whole)?! (smile) pmc

This is a beautifully constructed Tabblo. If it is not stained glass, I wonder if it is part of a silk scarf??
DocEna said at 4:23 p.m. on Jun 4, 2009:

Thank yoy to EVERYONE for commenting and 'guessing! and my apologies for taking so long to give the answer (too many commitments to make of late...). Doc aka Enaldo YOU ARE CORRECT but..........it's not technically a window of and in itself anyone altho' it's a 'form' of stained plexiglass yes. LOL and my appreciation to you my firends! Patty xo
HtD said at 1:47 a.m. on Jun 8, 2009:
Pat you are a great artistic painter. A master peace.
Pkeener said at 10:55 a.m. on Jun 8, 2009:
This is a beautiful tabblo, Patty. Too late for the quiiz.

I love Bamboo, and have it growing in my house. It's too cold in Colorado for it to thrive outside, but it's all over the place in Louisiana.

Did you make this stained glass?
Pattymaryclare said at 11:19 a.m. on Jun 8, 2009:
Oh thank you Henk and Keener!!! but no I did NOT make this...It's an acrylic sort of plexiglass material patio window door cover to eye level only...lets the light in (beautifully at diff. times of day as I tried to show) but maintains privacy and is very decorative of course! Keener ya got the Feng Shui goin' on then! lol I've given bamboo quite often as a housewarming gift....more facts about the Feng Shui placement for all and once again thanks!:

Applying Feng Shui in the Home is something both of an art and a science. Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of placement and location, involving the positioning of furniture, items, homes and even entire cities based on their geographic locations and the flow of energy, or ‘Chi' in the area. When considering feng shui in the home, it is important to remember to treat the entire home as one singular unit, one area where the flow of chi is to be addressed.

luv pmc xo
