Pattern may 3
This pattern is a day late- yesterday got busy- and was actually inspired by a video game Arlo and I played at this brilliant exhibition last week – (it was our third time there- it's finished now sadly). I simply can't remember the name of the game- but it featured a desolate landscape and flurries of petals (pink, magnolia-style) sweeping along mountains and sand- maybe you know of it? Arlo was into playing all the games of course, and it was a fun thing for us to do together.

I found this photography project moving and beautiful. Four sisters, photographed in black and white by Nicholas Nixon every year for 36 years. I think my sisters and I should start a project like this too.

    I love all the different places inspiration can come from. If we are open to it I guess is the key. And I have had that photography project in my mind these last few days…he captured so much of the sisters…each photo was like a chapter.

    Your pretty pattern reminds me of some nani iro I have in my stash. I should get it out and make something!

    Melissa, I recently went on holiday to Fort Worth in Texas and that photo series was on show at the modern art gallery there. I looked at it for ages. It’s a wonderful series.
    Beautiful pattern.

    Thanks for the rec on the photo series. There is something so neat about the passage of time being chronicled in that way.

    The Nicholas Nixon series is beautiful! I took a photo of my twins every Thursday for the first year of their lives and it is a wonderful thing to have a record of. I wish I hadn’t stopped!

    Is the video game called “Journey”? I’m not a gamer, but I stopped to watch when my husband played this on PS3. It is so beautiful and relaxing.

    I agree with Sarah, sounds like the video game you played is Journey! It’s a beautifully designed game… how fun that you and Arlo went to a video game exhibition together 🙂
