A simple embroidery pattern of concentric cirlces designed for practicing embroidery stitches. Blogged & free pattern here.
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.
The textures and patterns of these mushrooms are extremely inspiring to me. These spore prints made this past summer are informing some sculpture pieces that I am working on with felt.

Benny Goodman, clarinet; Lionel Hampton, vibes; Teddy Wilson, piano; Gene Krupa, drums. With George Duvivier on bass. Hey, that Lionel Hampton's gotta be the King of Swing!
This printed bright and clear, much better than the photo shows! :)

Here's another look at the software loom system I'm building, again rendering a segment of an endless pattern.
Here you can see that the textile being generated is 3D - you can get into any section of it to examine the details.
Also worth noting is that it's a 'live' system, so you can watch the loom weaving thread by thread. Will post a video shortly.

I came across an interesting art piece. It's a huge steel drum, about the size of a car, with circles cut out of it.
And it was rusty.
Couldn't resist.

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:
