Happened upon this old look out point / block house on a weekend trip to the North Kent Coast.

I'm digging how this is coming together, especially since I didn't have a vision for this quilt when I started, which can sometimes be disastrous, no? :)

This is a paper block I made for my dear flickr and blog friend, Elizabeth of Creative Breathing. She recently hosted a "block" party to celebrate her 300th post. To all those who participated in the block party, she created and sent out a block and in return we were to create one and send it to her. So much fun!

Not too often does the CP stop one of there trains and allow a CN train thru first. Don't know why this played out like it did but it is what it is. A southbound CN train glides across the double diamonds at Duplainville while a westbound oil empty is already on the throttle as he tells dispatch he is blocking Barker Road.

a whole quilt of these will be so pretty!

Hey, have you seen the latest issue of Blocks magazine? Page 50 & 51? Yep, that's my work there. A commission I received a few months ago, and I'm now able to show to the world (kind of) in what is a beautiful issue of an awesome magazine.

new work for a show in Glasgow

Loved the mad rock formations in Iceland, these blocks are right by the cave in the last image. Model is Anna.

 

Writer's block is a condition in which an author loses the ability to produce new work, or experiences a creative slowdown. The condition ranges in difficulty from coming up with original ideas to being unable to produce a work.

Hamilton, Ontario Canada

The Lister Block, first built in 1886, was destroyed by fire in 1923 and the second building was erected in 1924. This classic Renaissance building is 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) with six floors and sits on the corner of James and King William Street. It is a pivotal building in the commercial history and environment of downtown Hamilton.

When it was erected, in 1923-24, to the designs of Bernard H. Prack, architect, it demonstrated the most advanced retail marketing ideas of the time, and reflected the transition from smaller 19th Century retail establishments to the emerging 20th Century phenomenon of integrated department stores.

Its ground floor and 2nd floor L-shaped arcades, accessible from both James and King William, were remarkable innovations for their time and contributed to its success. Its key corner location, large double street frontage, six-storey height, and robust architectural design helped give it a dominant character within the James Street North urban streetscape. It originally stood in the heart of Hamilton’s civic core, directly across from City Hall (1888) and Market Square, and just south of the Federal Building (1856- 1920).

 

A changing retail environment of malls with free parking and the demise of downtown anchor "Eatons" brought about a huge shift of consumer spending. After thriving as a business and retail space for years, tenants eventually began to vacate. The building was closed in 1991 . The building sat empty in 1995 and was seen as a symbol of downtown decay. LiUNA bought the Lister Block back in 1999, letting it sit vacant for over a decade. In the following years, there were three failed attempts to revive the building, and after decades of vacancy, neglect, and sprawling development. a demolition permit was submitted in 2005.

 

In 2010, LiUNA and Hi-Rise Group began to renovate the building at the cost of $25 million, with a $7 million contribution from the province. The renovation was completed in early 2011.

Stacked [Whatever] Block. I say [Whatever] because it could be so many different things. Bolts of fabric, books, bricks... Of course turning it sideways gives you a whole slew of new choices! You can read more and find the tutorial to download over here.

For the dog runs that are starting to take shape

 

Impressive to see the scale of the place!

A recent study of Arlington House, Margate. I have taken similar before, but this is different enough to warrant an upload.

Spot of random block paving just for the hell of it.

Central Hong Kong, 2009.

I recently watched Attack the Block starring John Boyega. You may know John Boyega as Finn from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. IMDb's description of Attack the Block is: "A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion." Their description is a pretty accurate. However though it sounds pretty weird, it's a good movie!

 

I hope you like the photo and I hope to start making more photos soon! :)

Loved the simplicity of this view. Tweaked to bring out the colours to the point of almost over-cooked but not quite :)
