is it just me, or is geometric pattern all the rage around the blogosphere, lately?

jewelry ofcourse, being a thankful subject to that, as in faceted crystal gemstones, but i also see potential right next here

i was wondering, what would an earth grain look like, under the microscope?

  8. Oh I love your earth grain drawing! Very organic and earthy. Did you explore the grains of earth on your hands and knees with a magnifying glass? Happy weekend Nadine.

  11. Your right... it is all the rage Woolf... artists quite naturally pick up on societal and planetary shifts... some intuitively and others in investigations. Taking account of so much that is happening in nature .... both negative changes and positive development of technologies and practices to try and make for better systems of looking after nature and advancing the human condition against all the challenges coming to meet us.

    These themes will only get stronger... I think!
    cheerio to you!

  17. How lovely. This reminds me that at a minute and also at a grand level every earthly thing is beautifully designed and organized and mathematical. There's so much we don't see and appreciate on a daily basis. But there is so much, how could we. It's nice to pause and appreciate and look deeper, under that microscope.

  18. I have always adored microscopic forms like this, and the fact that they are often duplicated in different sizes everywhere. (Have you seen the book 'earth'? Alot of the pics look like something taken under the microscope, but they are take from airplaines)
    You interpretation of the earth is very soothing, as it suggest some kind of order on all levels.
