An engraving bound between pages 528 and 529 of Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In, pubished by D. Appleton And Co., New York, 1872.
The reservoir was located in Ohio City, in the block that now includes Fairview Park. The space it occupied is now bounded by Franklin Avenue on the north, West 38th Street on the west, Woodbine Avenue on the south, and West 32nd Street on the east.
i.e. SBS block #15
I'm very proud of all the points ;)
Having made one paper pieced block before I thought I would have no problems with this one, so of course there had to be an initial hiccup (I cut the bits for the corners a bit too small) but in the end it went quite well.
The Poinciana community gathers together at the 3rd Annual Poinciana Block Party on the Poinciana campus on July 18, 2019 in Kissimmee, Fla.
The breeze-block temple that appeared during the summer on the eastern peninsula of Tommy Thompson Park, Toronto. August 2021.
Even though the temple is situated next to a beach full of rubble, I suspect that the creator(s) must have brought with them much of the building materials, including the mortar they used to secure the bricks. This definitely took some time and effort and possibly planning!
It was a wonderfully eccentric and inspiring creation and I'm glad I got to experience it first hand. Sadly, a week or two later after I took these shots the park authorities demolished it for safety reasons.
Froebel blocks were developed in the 1830s by Friedrich Froebel, who believed that children learn through play. These smooth wooden blocks present geometric shapes and patterns in increasing complexity. Children ages 7 - 14 discovered the fun and excitement of building with Froebel blocks in this workshop presented by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.
Block 2 for the Moose on the Porch Quilt along. Based on a design by Vickie Eapen. Simplified the block to make better use of one of my larger scale prints. I like how it turned out, but it might need a few buttons scattered about to tie it in to the first block. Will embellish the blocks as I get more of them done.
"This is a Scrabo sandstone church, but one that has undergone little conservation. It exhibits a variety of decay types, including the rapid retreat of individual blocks. This occurs when a block loses an outer layer of material through, for example, the falling away of a large scale. The effect of this is to produce a hollow in which salts can continue to accumulate because it is sheltered from rainwash. This salt accumulation, combined with the higher humidity in the shadow of the hollow, creates an excellent environment for accelerated decay. This reinforcement process is known as 'positive feedback' and it means that once decay is 'switched on' in these kinds of weak sandstones it becomes very difficult to turn off.
Part of the detailing on the church includes a string course of Doulting limestone. This is a potential source of gypsum for the quartz sandstone, and it is possible to see how this has lead to the decay of blocks below the limestone. Gypsum can also wash out of the mortars and this can lead to the formation of gypsum crusts on the top parts of stone blocks. The final feature is the growth of algae and lichen on many blocks. There is anecdotal evidence that this greening of sandstone buildings has become widespread across Northern Ireland over the last couple of years and you will see other examples on buildings such as the Elmwood Hall at the other end of the Avenue. Recent work by the Weathering Research Group has suggested that this greening may be linked to changes in weather conditions in which winters have become milder and wetter. This has resulted in stonework remaining saturated for long periods of time, which in turn might encourage biological colonisation and growth. Whether this represents a short-term effect or is indicative of a longer-term change in climate will take more research. However, if it is indicative of a permanent environmental change, it might mean that we have to change many of our ideas about building stone decay. The frequency of the wetting and drying of salts could, for example, decrease and with it the effectiveness of salt weathering. But we would have to take the effects of biological weathering much more seriously. Likewise, conservators may find less call for the treatment of gypsum crusts and a greater interest in the effectiveness of biocide treatments."

Don't they look cool against the pink background of the towel? Proving you most certainly CAN block acrylic...
The much needed blocks arrived in part the last week I was on site to allow us to build the walls on house 5 up to floor level. As you can see, these are big buildings.
Working on house 1. Michael on the left is deliverying a barrow of ndaka and big Kelvin bringing blocks.
Church Block by Wirra Wirra is absolutely my favourite wine of all time. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot, with the percentages of the blend varying slightly from year to year to maintain the desired style and quality each vintage.
