If you didn't guess, this is the patterning on the underside of an armadillo. This fellow may have met its demise during some recent flooding along the Buffalo River. At Boxley, the river moves from an open valley to a tighter canyon and flash floods are deadly.

This is a photo of sand ripple patterns at Clam Harbour Beach. I love how wind blown lighter toned sand has highlighted the patterns.

I attempted to make wedgewood pattern cookies. With advice from Yukiko and Marlyn, I attempted to paint flowers with icing (mixing piping gel with royal icing - which does dry hard if anyone else had this question). Thanks also to those who helped me get the proper wedgewood color!! This tray truly took a village to create!! I have a LONG, LONG way to be as good as Yukiko, but there are a couple that turned out considering I had absolutely no experience at handpainting cookies.

After being totally immersed and awed by the vastness of nature's grandeur it was fun to have something that could be wiped out with a single footprint catch my eye.

I went to a small art exhibition called Floribunda recently. It had a number of paintings, floral dresses and a row of flowers entombed in clear resin. Included was this interesting NO painting which I didn't take the details of but was rather beautiful.

For the Mosaic Montage Monday theme of pattern mixing. Included is an overlay texture of dots and dashes. A pattern imposed by man.

www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/floribunda/

"The exhibition Floribunda, a major partnership between the National Gallery of Victoria and Bunjil Place, is an intoxicating larger-than-life mashup of floral imagery, design and motif drawn exclusively from the NGV Collection. Through its ‘Wunderkammer’ style of display, Floribunda celebrates and reimagines the nature and significance of one of Australia’s most important collections. Including Decorative Arts, Fashion and Textiles, Painting, First Nations Australia and Pacific Art, the selection of works spans multiple histories, cultures and art forms. Featuring poignant still life paintings, couture embellished with swirls of floral pattern, and objects lavishly adorned with buds and blooms, Floribunda connects human experience with the beauty and poetic symbolism of flowers."

(so what is the answer here.....)
