This idea is not mine, although these stacks are. I got the idea from a site called the Rainbow Elephant. I think it is really fun to do, and easy. I will load up the instructions if anyone asks.
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.
This book is truly amazing, if you like to crochet things, that you piece from circlers, squares, stars, etc. It also has many nice edgings.

Life goes, Life ends... No one cares except your loved one. Nature take care of us from all missed one... To all beloved...
This is just a prototype, I guess you would say... trying to fill in a design in a way to make a floor or a wall. But yikes! What a headache!
Now if I dare take it apart, I could redo it with pretty colors... assuming I have the right pieces.
Doa: The sewing project - Basics! I will try to sew some hoodies and tights in msd size. This is the second try! I love the fabric in this one <3 But I'll have to redo the pattern again, because now the neck hole is to wide :(
pattern by Jenny Gordy of Wiksten-Made. found in Stitch magazine (holiday issue 2008) love it!
also, i was inspired by Jenny who was inspired by another seamstress (who was probably inspired by someone else) to make this in a printed fabric. i was so eager to get this made that i finished it up in one evening.
p.s. i also copied Jenny by wearing a v-neck knit top. but i also see it paired with some other tops i have (including another printed blouse i made...) oh so many possibilities. now i want to make another.
