made in acrylic yarn (Patons magnum) as a practice of reading patterns, and to see how they looked worked up.
they then sat around for a year doing nothing ..
until eventually i decided to edge them all in white (which is a slightly softer acrylic yarn, homemaker yarn from kmart :) , sew them together and filled in the gaps, to become a crazy motif sampler blanket.
it took forever to weave in all the ends!
it should be perfect as a throw on the couch, specially at the moment on these chilly winter nights while watching telly
Rockport, Massachusetts, USA
Well known to students of art and art history as "the most often painted building in America". The original fishing shack was built in 1884 and destroyed in a blizzard in 1978. This exact replica was constructed later in 1978.

Secession-premodern style building s.
Built in 1910 for Heidelberg Alfréd.
Architect and constructor: Benes Imre
Door detail
Baross utca-Mária utca sarok
Az épület 1909–1910 között épült. Építtetője Heidelberg Alfréd volt, az építész és a kivitelező Benes Imre építészmester. 1912-ben megvásárolta az épületet Weiss Manfréd, és unokájának, Bíró Mariann-nak adta nászajándékba. A szecessziós stílusú négyemeletes ház (a tetőtérben kialakított segéd-házfelügyelői lakással, valamint egy mosókonyhával és szárítóhelyiséggel) bérháznak készült. A főlépcsőházban és a melléklépcsőnél is felvonó működött. Érdekesség, hogy a magasföldszintre vezető lépcsőkar egy fokkal hosszabb, mint a többi szinten – ez egy akkori adó megkerülése miatt alakult így. Az udvari részen személyzeti lakások, az utcai oldalon pedig szép polgári lakások voltak. Eleinte itt élt a tulajdonosnő is. Erről tanúskodtak a lépcsőházban lévő ólomüveg ablakok, amelyek a hajóskapitány férjet ábrázolták. Ezek a míves ablakok – több más értékkel együtt – a háború, az 1956-os események és a modernizálás áldozatává váltak. A II. világháborúban az egyik udvari szárny bombatalálatot kapott, ’56-ban pedig ez volt az első ház, ami összedőlt, így szinte teljesen újjá kellett építeni.
Itt lakott többek közt Szilvásy Margit operaénekes, Joó László színész, Kalocsay Kálmán professzor, kórházigazgató, a János vitéz eszperantóra fordítója és Papp László, olimpiai bajnok ökölvívó.

Motif #1, a replica of an old fishing shack in Rockport Harbor on Boston's North Shore. It's called that for its popularity as a subject for 19th-century artists. The original, built in 1840, was destroyed by a blizzard in 1978. This replica replaced it that same year.

The origins of the swastika are unknown. It has been used for thousands of years as a symbol of the sun, of infinity and continuing recreation and fertility in China, Sumeria, Egypt, India, Greece, Scandinavia, the Americas and elsewhere. It has been found on the textiles of the Incas, on the relics unearthed at Troy and in the catacombs of Rome. It is also one of the sacred signs of Buddhism.
The word comes from the Sanskrit ‘svastika’ meaning ‘prosperity’, and it was thought to bring good luck. As a decorative motif, it exists in many distorted forms on the doors of nearly all Seljuk and Ottoman buildings, notably on the gateways of Diyarbakir, and in the gateway of the Karatay Mosque in Konya.
Some extremist Teutonic nationalists in Austria began to use it in the mistaken belief that the swastika was of Indian origin and therefore an Aryan motif symbolising their self-designated racial superiority. Hitler himself saw it as symbolising, in his own words: ‘The fight for victory of Aryan man and of the idea of creative work, which in itself eternally has been anti-Semitic and eternally will be anti-Semitic’.

Femme de l'ethnie Lolo Bariolé, région de Meo Vac, Vietnam
Extraordinaire vêtement que cette tenue traditionnelle de l'ethnie des Lolo Bariolés que cette jeune femme a accepté de revêtir pour nous dans un petit village de la région de Méo Vac où vivent encore quatre familles de cette ethnie
Les Lolos sont réputés pour la richesse de leur costume traditionnel extrêmement coloré et sophistiqué C’est d’ailleurs en se basant sur cette tenue traditionnelle qu’on observe deux sous-groupes, les Lolo Noir dont j’ai déjà posté une photographie, et les Lolo Bariolé.
Très typée, la tenue féminine des Lolo privilégie les couleurs et use du patchwork pour mettre en relief des motifs géométriques ou d’inspiration naturelle. Les femmes Lolo noirs portent des chemisiers noirs à col rond vivement ornés de motifs variés. Les manches, assez longues, sont caractérisées par un mariage somptueux de couleurs. Les Lolos bariolés, quant à elles, prêtent en outre une attention particulière aux pantalons qui sont finement chargés de motifs. Un costume peut exiger plusieurs mois de travail pour terminer sa décoration.
The Villa Empain is a private house in the Art Deco style designed and built between 1930 and 1934 by Swiss architect Michel Polak for Baron Louis Empain, son of Belgian industrialist Baron Édouard Empain, located in Brussels, Belgium.
