My best friend spoiled me yesterday with belated birthday gifts and early Christmas gifts.
It was really too much!
I was jumping up and down from joy when I received these patterns.I can't wait to make more doll clothes. And I especially love the vintage patterns and the capes, the dresses, oh gosh I can't chose :)
So I'm very happy, but mostly because I have such an amazing friend who accepts me no matter what and supports me in everything I do.
Train station
Antwerpen, Belgium
Anversa, Belgio
2009
The original station building was constructed between 1895 and 1905 as a replacement for the original terminus of the Brussels-Mechelen-Antwerp Railway. The stone clad terminus buildings, with a vast dome above the waiting room hall were designed by Louis Delacenserie and the vast (185 metres long and 44 metres high) iron and glass trainshed by Clement van Bogaert. The viaduct into the station is also a notable structure designed by local architect Jan Van Asperen.
The station is now widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium, although the extraordinary eclecticism of the influences on Delacenserie's design had led to a difficulty in assigning it to a particular architectural style. In W. G. Sebald's novel Austerlitz an ability to appreciate the full range of the styles that might have influenced Delacensiere is used to demonstrate the brilliance of the fictional architectural historian who is the novel's protagonist.
In 2009 the American magazine Newsweek judged Antwerpen-Centraal the world's fourth most beautiful station. [source: Wikipedia English]

This shows how tiles fit underneath but it's going to be a headache to connect it to regular studs, because it has an extra 2/5 of a stud width every four studs. I'll figure something out or go insane trying. :-)
A part of stencil I painted today but I couldn´t get a decent photo of it because of shadows. An image of whole painting is coming...

Just practicing with cheese slopes... This shape is interesting to me because it is ostensibly made up of 6 equilateral triangles, which are put together to supposedly make 3 diamonds, which should fit together to make a perfect hexagon. But it is very clear that the cheese slopes are not perfectly triangular, so you get strange things like this. It seems to me that the orange and red parallelograms are each larger than the blue polygon (is it a rhombus? or an irregular hexagon??), but they're all the same size, made up of the same number of slopes.
This is nothing special; I just want to start cataloging patterns for various reasons, so I wanted to put some of the simple ones online too, for reference later.
This is made from inserting 1x1 bricks in between each corner of a square made from headlight bricks. The squares are then pushed together.

"Oh! nature's noblest gift—my gray-goose quill!
Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will,
Torn from thy parent-bird to form a pen,
That mighty instrument of little men!"
– Lord Byron, 'English Bards and Scotch Reviewers' (1809).
"The question of whether a computer is playing chess, or doing long division, or translating Chinese, is like the question of whether robots can murder or airplanes can fly -- or people; after all, the "flight" of the Olympic long jump champion is only an order of magnitude short of that of the chicken champion (so I'm told). These are questions of decision, not fact; decision as to whether to adopt a certain metaphoric extension of common usage."
– Noam Chomsky, 'Powers and Prospects' (1996).
