Mythical Creatures was the 2016 theme for the 4th annual student fundraiser fashion show known as MERGE. Our team consisted of staff at D+B, VSP Global, Shaw Carpet, and Patcraft, and we had four hours to create a costume from raw materials given to us at the beginning.
The mythical creature we chose was a vampire and the entire costume was made from commercial interior material samples: carpet backing for the cape, decorative wall covering for the bodice, glass tile for the belt, and wall protection for the skirts.
It was held in the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria at the Sacramento Central Branch and was attended by approximately 200 people. Each year the costumes are more elaborate and technical, and we couldn't be more proud of the talented people we have here in Sacramento.
Taken at the tail end of my fall season outing, it was late afternoon and the brief clearing in the storm gave me the opportunity to briefly see across the Vail Valley to witness the fresh around on the tevergreen trees surrounding the aspens.

Edited European Southern Observatory image of the galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427, known collectively as Arp 271. Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: This image shows a pair of interacting galaxies known as Arp 271. Individually, these galaxies are named NGC 5426 and NGC 5427; both are spirals, and both are roughly the same size. Some astronomers believe that these galaxies are in the process of merging to form a single entity. This interaction will create increasing numbers of new stars over the next few million years, some of which can be seen within the “bridge” of gas connecting the two galaxies. This kind of collision and interaction might also happen to our own galaxy, the Milky Way, which is likely to collide with the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy in about five billion years time. These galaxies lie over 120 million light years away from us, and were discovered by the German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1785. Herschel was a prolific scientist, also discovering both infrared radiation and the planet Uranus. Link: Previous release of the same galaxy pair: www.eso.org/public/images/potw1035a/
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxies NGC 1512 on the left and NGC 1510 on the right. Color variant.
Original caption: This composite image, created out of two different pointings from Hubble, shows the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512 (left) and the dwarf galaxy NGC 1510 (right). Both galaxies are about 30 million light-years away from Earth and currently in the process of merging. At the end of this process NGC 1512 will have cannibalised its smaller companion.

I had 2 snail images - 1 showed the whole snail but wasn't very sharp, the other had better focus (particularly on the shell) but was missing the ends of the anthers. I used Elements' photomerge feature to try to get the best of both worlds.
This weekend was the annual IIDA MERGE fashion show, this year taking place at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in downtown Sacramento. Previously, the design competition was an all-day event; just four hours to create a themed, wearable costume, with runway show the same evening. This year, however, each team received five material sponsors and had five weeks leading up the big day to create an outfit that embodied their selected theme. The 2018 theme was Into the Wild and the ecosystem we drew was Savanna.
Our concept statement:
It is one of the most intense ecosystems on planet Earth. Some of the world’s most unique, adaptable, and resilient vegetation and wildlife have evolved to survive the harsh weather, devastating droughts, and sparse nourishment. Animals camouflage among the tall grasses and they find just enough reprieve from the heat under the few, scattered trees. Although intense, it is also beautiful. As the sun sets across these vast plains, an array of vibrant colors washes over, signaling the end of today and the beginning of tomorrow. This is the SAVANNA.
We had the honor of working with generous material sponsors including, Mannington Commercial – who provided carpet tile; Armstrong Flooring – hard surface flooring; MechoSystems – window shade fabric; Crossville – tile; and Mayer Fabrics – upholstery fabric.
The night of the event, all 12 competing teams brought their A games which made for one fierce runway show. In the end, the judges had the difficult task of selecting the winners for Best Use of Materials, Most Wearable, Best Model Attitude, and Best in Show. The patrons chose Crowd Favorite. The Architecture and Design firms were not the only winners of the night, however. The proceeds from MERGE go toward scholarships to be awarded to local, hardworking design students.

The Meisterstück Great Masters Pirelli Limited Edition 1872 merges the art of writing with the art of making tyres. The collection celebrates the know-how of the Pirelli craftsmen, “sgorbiatori”, who meticulously hand-carve tyre patterns; taking days to create just a single prototype. These Pirelli Masters – both technicians and engineers – provide a key contribution to the research & development aimed at making the experience of driving with Pirelli tyres a memorable one.
