The Pavilion at the Nature Boardwalk (South Pond) near the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois was designed by Studio Gang Architects. Inspired by the tortoise shell, the laminated structure has bent-wood members and a series of interconnected fiberglass pods. Built in 2010.
Nothing truly beautiful ever asks for attention. It simply captures you.

DSCN4939-002 Woven
Very fine brass woven wire. It's been sitting in the "wire" drawer in my craft room for ages and now it's finally getting used! lol.. HMM :-)
The business end of the Blue Microphones Yeti Pro. I didn't know the little critter had a second layer of mesh under its flowing chrome wig.
Woven by light and shadows. Feeling surrounded by contrasts!

Alanis Morissette - Ironic (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jne9t8sHpUc
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
... Alanis Morissette
我想，生活就是會莫名其妙地捉弄你一下
當你認為一切都沒有問題，事情進行都很順利的時候
生活也會莫名其妙就幫你一把
當你覺得你倒楣到家，一切都已經在你眼前
搞砸了的時候
.... 艾拉妮絲莫莉塞

Is summer's festival only for fresh blossoms and not also for withered leaves and faded flowers?
Is the song of the sea in tune only with the rising waves?
Does it not also sing with the waves that fall?
Few are the wise and the great who sit by my Master, but he has taken the foolish in his arms...
(Rabindranath Tagore)

May you experience each day as
a sacred gift woven around
the heart of wonder.

One summer morning after a heavy dew fell overnight, I spotted this intricate spider web. It was woven on and around some rhododendron leaves. The first thing I thought of was that the web and leaves were shaped just like a sailboat.
"Our humanity rests upon a series of learned behaviors, woven together into patterns that are infinitely fragile and never directly inherited."
Margaret Mead
"Sunshine drops a morning wink
A soft warm breeze I sit and think
Across the lake the mallards wait
In southern skies a journeys date
The oaks are hung in painted gold
Where pretty words of praise are told
Sounds of life along nature's path
Wonders filled her righteous bath
With guide of visions beauty blessed
Through eyes of blue my soul's caressed
I stroll near edges of summers crease
The bluebirds sing and I'm at peace"
- poem by Tim Smith
PS: I am told this is a Grey Goose by my learned flickr bird spotter friends. I am rubbish at bird naming :)
Macro Mondays: "Pick Two"
List A: Curved

A woven basket that, at the moment, does not have any flowers in it.
The image is about 7 cm (2.75 inches) on the long edge.

In the hush of night, when stars take flight,
A moon child dances in silver light,
Her laughter echoes through the shadowed trees,
A melody woven with whispers of breeze.
With eyes like galaxies, deep and wide,
She wanders the dreams where wishes reside,
In fields of stardust, where time softly bends,
She chases the shadows of what could have been friends.
Each silver beam cradles a secret untold,
A tapestry woven of hopes bright and bold,
With every step, the cosmos sighs,
For the moon child knows where the longing lies.
She twirls in the twilight, a whimsical grace,
A wistful glance at an empty space,
Where futures once sparkled, like dew on the grass,
Now echoes of laughter in the moments that pass.
“What if,” she muses, “the stars had aligned?
What dreams might have blossomed, what fate might we find?”
Yet in her heart, there’s a glimmer of light,
For even in absence, love lingers in night.
The moon child weaves tales of joy and of pain,
In the softest of sighs, in the sweetest refrain,
She carries the dreams that were never unfurled,
A radiant beacon in a slumbering world.
So dance, little moon child, beneath the vast skies,
In the realm of the dreamers, where possibility lies,
For what could have been is a whisper, a song,
In the heart of the night, where you’ve always belonged.
For the Macro Monday theme 'Wire' (October 14th 2019)
Silver wire woven into a bracelet. The bracelet (in the 2nd comment field) is made entirely of strands of silver wire. There is no soldering, just bending and weaving the silver. Even the clasp is made from strands of silver wire. This was hand-made for me by a friend who was beginning to learn metal-working at the time - 'The Adventurous Silversmith'. She made me three kinds of woven silver bracelets. Another one was used for the last MM in 2013. That one is linked through from the first comment field, and is a Roman and Viking design. ;o)
Several people have asked about my talented friend who made these lovely bracelets. She has a wide variety of metalworking skills - and other things too
www.theadventuroussilversmith.com/ Do indeed check her website out. Laurie Kern is her name, and currently she is living and working in Texas ;o)
HMM to everyone, and have a great week!

Smile On Saturday: "Handle" theme
It's a carved wooden cane that my father had that has the words "Carib Reserve Dominica" written on the handle. It's a pretty cool cane with a woven covering on the shaft. I have no idea where or how my dad got it, as I don't believe that he was ever in the Caribbean island country of Dominica.
I did some quick research and found the following: "The Carib Reserve, now known as the Kalinago Territory, is a 3,700-acre district in Dominica set aside for the Kalinago people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island." The name change of the district occurred in 2015.

Our Daily Challenge: "Craftsmanship"
A new carpet, woven based on the original design of the historic Ardabil carpet, was unveiled at the next to Chini Khaneh Museum in Janat Sara museum - Sheikh Safi-aldin complex in Ardabil
The Ardabil carpets are two prominent pieces of Iranian carpet art from the Safavid era. One of these carpets, known as the "original Ardabil carpet," is housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, while the other, a smaller version, known as the "twin carpet," is displayed in the Freer and Sackler Galleries in Washington, D.C.
Some researchers believe the carpets were woven in workshops in Tabriz or Ardabil, and the name "Maqsud Kashani" appears in the border of the main carpet, referring to a Kashani weaver.
During the Qajar period, following an earthquake in Ardabil that damaged some historical buildings, these carpets were sold to a British dealer named James Morier to raise funds for the restoration of the buildings. The carpets were then transported to England and displayed in museums. Ardabil ostan (province) - Iran
Ultimately, the Ardabil carpets are not only regarded as symbols of Iranian art and culture but are also considered among the 50 most significant artistic and historical works in the world.
فرش جدید بافته شده بر اساس طرح اصلی فرش تاریخی اردبیل در جنب موزه چینی خانه اردبیل رونمایی شده است
فرشهای اردبیل دو قطعه برجسته از هنر فرشبافی ایرانی هستند که به دوران صفویه تعلق دارند. یکی از این فرشها، که به "فرش اردبیل اصلی" معروف است، در موزه ویکتوریا و آلبرت در لندن نگهداری میشود و دیگری که نسخهای کوچکتر است، به نام "فرش دوقلو" شناخته میشود و در موزه فریر و سمیتسونیان در واشنگتن دیسی قرار دارد.
برخی محققان معتقدند که فرشها در کارگاههای تبریز یا اردبیل بافته شدهاند و در حاشیه فرش اصلی نام "مقصود کاشانی" به چشم میخورد که احتمالاً اشاره به بافندهای کاشانی دارد.
در دوره قاجاریه، پس از وقوع زلزلهای در اردبیل که به برخی از بناهای تاریخی آسیب رساند، این فرشها برای تأمین منابع مالی جهت مرمت بناها به دلالی انگلیسی به نام جیمز موریر فروخته شدند. این فرشها سپس به انگلستان منتقل شدند و در موزهها به نمایش گذاشته شدند.
در نهایت، فرشهای اردبیل نه تنها به عنوان نماد هنر و فرهنگ ایرانی شناخته میشوند، بلکه بهعنوان یکی از 50 اثر برجسته هنری و تاریخی در دنیا نیز مورد احترام قرار دارند.
