Day 5 Another busy day at work so didn't get the chance to capture anything apart from this road block again taken with my emergency camera
Cotton-cashmere blend yarn. I’ll sort out the size discrepancies after adding white borders and selectively blocking again - which will be whenever I make enough to have a decent lap blankie.
This little block has laid in our path whilst walking our dog for as long as I can remember, a solitary, lonely block of something, on a circular path to nowhere. Sitting amongst a neighbourhood of scalpings, clinker and gravel, downtrodden but tirelessly repeating its message.
'Block.'
'Block, block.'
'Block what?'
Neither a description nor a command. Just a mantra.
Nobody had mentioned that they had noticed its existence. Or uttered a word of recognition until today when we both opened our mouths to say together.
'Have you seen that.....'
'the Block? Yes!'
Raising more questions that any inanimate, inert object could ever be expected to answer. We left it as it lay, but before we left we took this of the rarely mentioned random block.
The original building at this location on Canal Street in Bellows Falls, Vermont was built in 1850 as a two-story tenement. Local businessman Fred J. Exner rebuilt it in 1907 and it was extensively renovated in 1999-2000 by the Rockingham Arts and Museum Project as affordable housing with preferences for artists. It is a wood frame building with stamped-metal siding.

Block paints screwed to a bit of wood. Theoretically, the paint should dissolve and colour the snow.... I also had the idea of using powder paint to colour the snow, as it should stay on the surface and not bleed through, in much the same way as grit. The plan is to work with the colour combos and formats. This would have worked nicer if they had been horizontal.
Manchester United Methodist Church was looking for a replacement window after the old wood windows deteriorated for the past decade. Glass block was the perfect choice to withstand the elements of an Ohio winter. The church wanted to find a window that was durable but also spectacular and the colored block in the shape of a cross achieved the church's goal. Glass Block of America was able to remove the wood sills and replace with a new sandstone sill.
