Pattern Appearing
I saw these wonderful back-to-back posts on the style files this past weekend. Anything that looks like stenciled pattern catches my eye especially when it is a unique application!
The first post was about Solid Poetry, a Design Academy project by Susanne Happle and Frederik Molenshot that explores the possibilities of “hidden” designs appearing as the environment changes. Here the pattern in the concrete appears as it becomes wet. I can just imagine a shower where vines grow up the wall as the water and steam rises.
The other one, Stenciling Your Garden would be easier for most of us to achieve: Killing off the grass, but in a decorative pattern by placing templates on the ground for a few days. This would be a great idea for a garden wedding!

Oh yes I saw these on Style File, too! Lovely.
PS I know I have told you this before, but every time I come to your site, I am absolutely bowled over by the beauty of your banner. I think it might just be the most beautiful banner I have ever seen….It’s inspiration for the website I need to do for our guesthouse, The Persian Garden

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for you Persian Garden site….

Love it. I had a similar thing when I removed a temporary tatoo of barbed wire from my ankle. My leg was tanned apart from a bracelet of white pattern.
