Bargello





Erica Wilson says Bargello stitch, though I think I know it as florentine stitch. Either way I love it, repetitive gradient patterns are good for me. I enjoyed this video for other reasons as well. Via Cathy of California.

Marble & Wood








Wood Book and Marble Book by Tauba Auerbach. 2011

Coated Arms is a blog after my own heart, with it's months of colour. I started in August at Blue perfectly timed for the Denim show, but I have been following since. Enjoying the rainbow january most of all, also perfectly timed for me.

I just read of a dinner at Ra in Antwerp to celebrate the end of the colour year of the coated arms blog. I'm there in spirit. Each of the 11 courses of the dinner served will represent each of the colours featured on the year of colour, ending with the slicing of the rainbow cake. I have google image searched rainbow cakes a lot, and have been waiting for the right occasion to make one.
