The Storer House by Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed as an organic extension of its rugged environment, Wright's Storer house - second of the textile-block houses - rises on a series of terraces set into a Hollywood hillside, its cement blocks mixed with decomposed granite from the site itself.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Millard House (La Miniatura), Pasadena, California (Exterior perspective from the garden) 1923-24

La Miniatura, the Millard House in Pasadena, is the earliest in a series known as the Textile Block houses, designed by Wright in the 1920s; all are located in southern California. This color rendering depicts the Millard House in its lush surroundings. The house is constructed of a combination of plain-faced and ornamental concrete blocks, which were cast on the site from molds designed by Wright. The square blocks, with perforated, glass-filled apertures, form a continuous interior and exterior fabric. The relatively small scale of the blocks allows for a design that closely follows the contours of the landscape.

In his autobiography, Wright wrote: "The concrete block? The cheapest (and ugliest) thing in the building world. . . . Why not see what could be done with that gutter-rat?" In his Textile Block houses, Wright attempted to introduce a flexible building system, marrying the merits of standardized machine production to the innovative, creative vision of the artist.

Il termine Usonia ha un’origine misteriosa

Per tutelare la propria eredità artistica già nel 1940 l’architetto statunitense aveva istituito la Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation che ancora oggi custodisce tutti i progetti incompiuti del maestro.Solo gli edifici che vengono approvati dalla Fondazione nel programma “Original Unbuilt Program” e messi in atto da architetti appartenenti alla Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, ovvero dai…

been chipping away at a new quilt

#textiles #quilting #sewing #i do not currently own an iron hence these being a little wonky lmao. once i can press the seams theyll prob look better #but i am enjoying this!! i'm just making a bunch of blocks without really planning what the outcome will look like #i'll figure out how to put them together at some point but it's nice to just sew some stuff together without an outcome in mind #(also its been really difficult to draw lately so this has been a nice relaxing creative outlet!!)

Learning to sew 🪡

#Exploring the personal headcanon that is “hunter did not originally learn to sew on fabric”#mostly inspired by the first aid kit shown next to his bed #+ the fact his original cloak sewing attempt looked more like stitches for an injury rather than for textiles 😭#twitter gets this so yall do too #i literally havent done an angst comic since like 2019 so HAVE FUN #myart #tohhunter #huntertoh #pittwins #toh #the owl house #comic #trigger warning tags for yall who have them blocked:#needles #stitches #blood #flashbacks

Fish Quilt

Sixty-two out of seventy-two squares, but the project will have to go on hiatus because I need to get more of the blue background fabric and I want K to help out in doing the initial layout where we decide which colors go where. That will just have to wait until she's home the next time, sometime in April. Having three different background colors is not the usual, but I though putting the lightest blue at the top, etc. would give the impression of water getting deeper.

@woodelf68 It turns out that the watermelon fish have sexual dimorphism! The males (on the left) have bright red colors, the female (top middle) has a subtle green striping to blend in to the beds of seagrass. The other two fish may be hybrids, unusual color morphs, or even an undescribed subspecies of watermelon fish!

Anyone else have an OC with a very specific, niche interest, then encounter something in real life that caters directly to that interest and suddenly get extremely possessed by their own character

Anybody want to test a quilt block pattern?

So, this is a Stomachion:

It's a puzzle that goes back to Archimedes. Not to be confused with the Tangram, a similar puzzle. The joke with the Stomachion is that there's hundreds of possibilities to put the 14 pieces into a square.

I thought that would make an interesting quilt block, or several hundred.

So I made a pattern here. 6mm (1/4") seam allowance, finished block should come out 36 cm (14,2"). The pattern has 12 pieces, including 3 that are double, marked in my photos above. The original Stomachion has 14 pieces, but some of those are always together, so I fused them for simplicity's sake.

Anybody wanna try it? I'd be very interested if it actually works, but I also have a lot of stuff going on right now. Also I'm not good enough at quilting yet.

Edit: I did it! New pattern here
