The villa where we stayed had very uncomfortable rattan furniture. Brought back memories of couches I sat on during university.
I'm a firm believer that there are patterns in everything in life. I see them all the time, and sometimes I can reach out and grab them. The ones going into the past are the most obvious, of course. But there are some that spin out into the present and future, that if we look close enough, can be followed to their logical conclusions.
But then, things happen that I never expected. The love I've found this year - I just, I don't even know how to express it most days. I didn't have to ask, or beg, or plead for it. I didn't have to do anything at all for it. When I was plummeted so far down I couldn't even see the earth above me, it was just there, lifting me up.
I never saw this pattern emerging at all. I was always the one that everyone got along with, but was never particularly close to. I was the one that belonged everywhere, kinda, but nowhere fully. The one who never really felt she fit into any particular hole - round, square, or otherwise.
But now I see the way the threads go - a million miles in every direction. And they are so far from only threading one way.
I love, I love. And I can't help it. And I don't want to.

But I am going to a far, far land
I know it sure as I’ve a past and a future
With my maps on the table, you see, I have lost many things
So many I won’t turn back.

The branches and leaves of this giant tree sort themselves out so each has it's own space. I noticed this pattern in the trees overhead while lying on my back listening to music in the park in Devonport, New Zealand.

So I made this Steampunk pattern that could be used at Spoonflower and Hoags75 bought it, ordered fabric, and made this incredible purse out of it!!!
I was so excited when I woke up this morning and saw it. It feels incredible to know that somebody made something out of one of my designs!
You can make these tiny baby octopuses (the body is less than 1.5" across) with long or short legs from a free pattern on my blog:

Rule of Composition:
The repeating pattern and texture of the subject creates a visually interesting effect to the viewer.
Why it's a good photo:
There are no distracting elements and the main focus of the subject which is the pattern and texture is visually pleasing. This is due to the complimentary colour gradient caused by shadows thanks to the lighting.
How it could be improved:
The photo could have been taken further away so that viewers can identify what the object in the photo is. Right now, it is too near for viewers to identify that the subject is a lantern.
Patterns of Power is a series of photographs of contemporary art museum interiors. The images are tightly cropped, square close-ups of the angles, patterns and textures common in contemporary museum architecture. This series builds on a previous project - Museum Patterns - which exists online at museumpatterns.tumblr.com.
In a globalised world, museums distinguish themselves through increasingly novel and unlikely buildings, which are designed by star architects like Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry. Interestingly, many of the buildings’ common features blur the line between art and architecture: walls meet at odd angles, the dominant white surfaces are interrupted by a red feature wall or rail, and material textures are introduced in the form of polished concrete and weathered steel. Museum Patterns re-presents these features as two-dimensional prints. The cropping produces flattened and abstracted images that are at odds with the three-dimensionality of the original subject. The photographs in this series also highlight slight and almost imperceptible flaws in the white-walled galleries, with each image revealing a small imperfection: a watermark on the ceiling, a messy paint job, a scuffed shoe mark, or an accidental lump in the wall.
Each of these flaws represents a tear in the façade of power. The white walls that typify contemporary art museums are an attempt to neutralise the space, both physically and ideologically. The Modernist notion of aesthetic autonomy can be seen as a political strategy, rather than just a philosophy towards exhibition display. The museum is a predominantly physical space, so decisions such as a gallery’s layout or wall colour subtly communicate value and power. Patterns of Power draws attention to the physicality of the museum, and by pointing out subtle physical marks of human error, I am concurrently questioning its privileged role as a creator of knowledge and promoter of dominant cultural values.
