Years ago, I read in a gardening magazine the advice to avoid kinks and snarls: wind garden hoses into a figure-8 rather than coiling them. It was good advice. I do get an occasional kink and never a snarl. A sideways figure-8 is also the symbol for infinity, and when I am winding 85 feet of hose, it does feel like infinity.

Inside an electric tower - looking up. I want to improve this shot, but it still was an "Ahhh - Got it" shot that I've been thinking about for awhile.

This is for the man-made repetitions and patterns series. Thanks, Jeff for great advice on the post processing. I hope I did it justice.

I began this original pattern, this summer. Tonight I went to work on it with Derwent Soft Colored Pencils. I like using these c.p. as they are soft, blendible, no oder and the colors are snapped up.

While in Bethlehem, PA for a good friends wedding, we spent some time on Main St.

I would not have guessed that I would be photographing bright green palm leaves in early December in Eastern PA when I woke up that morning.

Lesson: Always have your camera handy!

Elizabethan Cuff by Helena Tang-Lim

7

Jewellery was a big part of Elizabethan Tudor fashion, especially for those who were rich and important. It showed both their wealth and status. Jewellery was also used to convey political messages, display religious beliefs and to remind people of friends and relatives who have died. Jewellery in Tudor times was not widespread and is essentially worn by the upper classes and those who could afford such finery.

Tudor bracelets tended to be made out of silver or gold and decorated with precious stones. Strands of pearls could also be wrapped around the wrist. The Elizabethan cuff is reminiscent of bracelets of the era. A wide cuff - elaborate, luxurious and intricately woven. A central panel of bezelled large beads form a bold focal point to the cuff. Eminently suited to the delicate wrists of the Elizabethan Tudor lady of the upper classes.

Dog Quilt Pattern by seweccentric

8 3

Each "bone" is made of 16 squares:

8 white (background)

6 patterned

2 half white/half pattern sewn together diagonally

Each square is 2" finished, so if you're using a 1/4" seam allowance you'll cut out 2-1/2" squares. Remember to add seam allowance to the long side of your triangles, too.

My finished quilt is here: www.flickr.com/photos/seweccentric/2231326717/in/set-7215...
