Hey, have you seen the latest issue of Blocks magazine? Page 50 & 51? Yep, that's my work there. A commission I received a few months ago, and I'm now able to show to the world (kind of) in what is a beautiful issue of an awesome magazine.
My son was representing his swim squad in Jersey this weekend. See if he wins another one of these glass block trophies! HMM!
Just a simple Minecraft inspired creation. Having fun with digital Lego and rendering.
The colours might need a bit of tweaking, but I attempted to get them somewhat accurate. I also didn't bother trying to figure out the interlocking of the bricks in the grass block. It can be done, but I just didn't have the free time to build that detail (laziness also might have factored in). The shovel, on the other hand, is actually fully connected together.

As those following at home probably know, I've been featured in Blocks magazine 3 times this year so far.
But this issue was the first, and as such it holds a special place in my heart.
And it finally arrived on my doorstep today.
It's going straight to the poolroom.
For the dog runs that are starting to take shape
Impressive to see the scale of the place!

I recently watched Attack the Block starring John Boyega. You may know John Boyega as Finn from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. IMDb's description of Attack the Block is: "A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion." Their description is a pretty accurate. However though it sounds pretty weird, it's a good movie!
I hope you like the photo and I hope to start making more photos soon! :)

DT reader and vintage design guru Andy spotted this incredible set of blocks by the Czech exile designer Ladislav Sutnar being auctioned on Oct 12:
PEDAGOGICAL PROJECT (AVANT-GARDE, CZECH MODERNIST.) Sutnar, Ladislav. Original set of woodblocks for "Build the Town." 30 pieces [complete], small wooden building blocks, cones, and triangles painted in red, blue, and yellow, some paint chipping, some a bit soiled. [New York, circa 1942]
Estimate $7,000-10,000
one of a handful of surviving prototypes; from the sutnar family collection. Sutnar began his career in his native Czechoslovakia as a toy designer and educator. Between 1922 and 1926 he created "Factory Town," a set of children's blocks designed as an educational toy in the spirit of Froebel's blocks. After emigrating to the states, he tried in earnest to find a manufacturer for the set which he re-named less grimly "Build the Town." This is one of only a few prototypes created, entirely at Sutnar's expense, with the hope that the company Cobos/Builders would produce the set, but it was not to be realized. Another major impediment came from lumber companies that could not stop wartime orders to produce the wooden blocks. Despite his best efforts, Sutnar was forced to abandon the project. The archive of drawings and documents for the project was sold in Swann Galleries' salesroom on 20 September, 2001, lot 354. Build the Town represents an inventive attempt by Sutnar to introduce children to the basic forms, vibrant primary colors, and the creative freedom of design. The Museum of Modern Art, the Getty Museum, and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum own sets.
A recent study of Arlington House, Margate. I have taken similar before, but this is different enough to warrant an upload.

For me this single image sums up not only the location but UrBex itself. The contrast between beauty and elegance of an age past with decay and abandonment of the present.

Tanya's block for her Star Studded Rainbow Quilt. I used the Maine pattern from Carol Doak's 50 Paper Pieced Stars book. I choose this pattern because it seemed to echo the feel of her starter block without being an exact copy.
One of my favorite things I made this year used wonky stars...and I decided then that I wanted to do a quilt block using them so when I found Zonnah's Tutorial, I squealed in delight and promptly started cutting out my fabric! Love it!
