The Kutch/Kachchh area of Gujarat is not heavily-frequented by foreign tourists, although popular as a handicraft-shopping destination with Indian tourists. Each village tends to specialize in a type of craft, with Ajrakhpur especially known for detailed block-printing. It's not the kind of place that offers courses on how to produce beautiful crafts yourself.
So if you want to learn, you:
a) beg the owner, possibly throwing in some of your arts/crafts background as proof you won't be in the way and
b) show up the next day and insist you were serious then
c) just pick some blocks from their massive library and get started, badly, because there isn't really any "teaching" going on in the strictest sense.
Cell blocks sit quiet and empty at the historic E.S.P.
Eastern State Penitentiary was the worlds first true penitentiary. A prison designed to resemble a medieval fortress and inspire true regret in the hearts of those sent there. Opened in 1829 and finally closing its doors in 1971, E.S.P. is now open to the public for tours and exploring on your own. I highly advise a visit if you're in the Philadelphia area!
I had a hard case of "dresser's block" on Sunday evening. As a result, I planned only one outfit for the week (and was still not happy with it). It seems fitting that the single ensemble is color-blocked.
Jacket, Forever 21. Blouse, Judy Bond (thrifted). Dress, NY & Co (shortened). Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Rampage. Earrings, Jana’s Designs.
For Issue 21 of Blocks Magazine I took the forced perspective style of LEGO® photography and upscaled it to full sets.
Such transition required much greater camera control than is afforded by smartphone photography, hence I've finally bitten the bullet and shot an entire set with my grown up cameras.
Although shot on location, these pictures- and those that made it into the magazine- all used some flash to lift the shadows & balance the light across the scene.
Here is my finished block. I am really pleased with how it has turned out. and I hope it fits with everyone else's blocks.
For anyone worried about the 3D effect- I did run it past Sarah first, and do a trial run!
Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. About 40 percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light, on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light, on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic Flyway.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.
For her quilt in A Quilting Journey Round Robin Bee Krista provided a bright inspiration block and mentioned that she liked stars and circles.
The pattern is one of the blocks from the 2012 BOM offered by The Quilt Show. I dug into my Kaffe stash and picked many different orange/red and blue/green prints. The points are paper-pieced, the centre circle is applied with raw-edge appliqué using a tiny zigzag stitch and I set the star into the background using Dale Fleming's Six-Minute Circle technique.
Bloqué ! Pathétique... voici le résultat de l'irresponsabilité et de l'incompétence manifestes d'une petite élue locale, qui semble prendre plaisir à détruire des quartiers exclusivement dédiés aux piétons... Des voitures prises au piège entre les murs !!! Sur le circuit touristique "La Renaissance" de la ville de Périgueux !!! Des piétons contraints d'attendre !!! Et cette élue ? Pour la nommer, la maire Delphine Labails ? Rien à en tirer ! Elle s'en fout ouvertement... elle laisse faire, elle saccage, c'est son truc...
Blocked ! Pathetic... here is the result of the blatant irresponsibility and incompetence of a local elected official, who seems to take pleasure in destroying areas exclusively dedicated to pedestrians... Cars trapped between the walls!!! On the tourist circuit "La Renaissance" in the city of Périgueux!!! Pedestrians forced to wait!!! And this elected official? To name her, Mayor Delphine Labails? Nothing to gain from her! She doesn't care openly... she lets it happen, she wreaks havoc, that's her thing...
Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la historia del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informatica i els ordinadors.
Aquí podeu veure una vista general dels blocs construits a partir de 1941 per encabir el creixent personal del que es coneixeria posteriorment com "Station X".

========================================================
Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).
Here you can see some of the wartime blocks (in fact Block-D) build after 1940, in order to cope with the increasing staff of what was known as the GC&CS, but his actual famous name is Station X.

For an impresive virtual visit, take a look to these videos:
This block is approximately 6x6, signed, numbered and made to hang...or place...or use as a coaster. Whatever you see fit. Ridiculously cheap and lookin' for a good home.
You can look in the "art?" set and see more. Once sold however, I delete them.
All blocks available on my Etsy (link on my profile).
