Pattern 21- 60%

A yellow zig-zag pattern for today. This one was sketched in pencil then painted over in yellow and grey. I like the idea of the wonky geometric- something that we're used to seeing presented neatly and in a professional sort of way, but made slightly chaotic.

How has your week been, readers? Mine has involved quite a bit of work of the typing variety, and some embroidery (will show you next week) as well as some music-making (the kids). I've also been (very slowly, mind) reading this book of short stories.

 Here are some curious, alternative places to visit on this Friday evening:

– to a museum to visit the original Winnie-the-Pooh (and friends)

– an abandoned house in the woods taken over by wild animals

– visit a Mongolian baby with reindeer

– I'm not sure where this is– maybe you know? I'd like to go there, regardless.

    This reminds me of zentangles just a bit – have you heard of them? They’re so relaxing satisfying and (when made into cards) personal. A current favourite. Your photo reminded me of an article on today’s NZ Sat paper (magazine section?) about a man keen on astrophotography – there was a beautiful picture of folks silhouetted against the backdrop of the Mt Vic lookout! Lovely to pop in and get a tinyhappy fix, thankyou! Off to watch a delayed recording of the rugby…

    I love seeing hand-drawn geometrics, they are definitely a fun take on the neat angles of geometry. And the photos from that house are amazing, especially the badger peeking out the floorboard!
