market has the effect of fractals on me.

let me tell you why.

bicocacolors has cauliflowers of the romanescu kind on her blog at the moment. if there's one thing {one of many} which fascinates me no end, it is ungraspable mathematics, as in... fractals.

i fell in love with fibonacci's numbers in geneva, a long, long time ago.

{geneva in itself being a place of mystery, because of cern}

where does mathematical fascination kick in, i wonder.

· · · · ·

that's what romanescu, and in a broader sense, market does to me. because when i'm market shopping and romanescu pops up, i just have to get me some.

PURE eye candy.

and maths.

... ungraspable.

this week's theme market,

on jane's corner view,

hosted by francesca.

drawing | butterfly

our mixed feelings on quotes being what they are, here are a few poetry lines i like to hear {and so well in tune for today's meeting up of the drawing circle}. i admit it is a.o. the honed voice of actor ben whishaw which rings to mine ear,

“i almost wish we were butterflies

and liv'd but three summer days -

three such days with you

I could fill with more delight

than fifty common years

could ever contain.”

even songs aren't spared the flutterby sentiment... flap-flap-flap over to : patrice, ariane, renilde, rosemary, jasmin, demie, victoria, leena, stephanie, tatjana, hagar, nina, julia, tania, lise, rachel, greta, ... and thank you SO much for playing.

drawing challenge NEW THEME : butterfly

in the likelihood of valentino riding off his horse into the horizon again, i was reminded of a far more frivolous love messenger. it was alaskan polkadot petticoat {queen} who whimsically renamed these wings under glass. haul the insect world right upside down, turn it inside out, further pronounce it out loud:

♥ f l u t t e r b y s ♥

do you find early spring is sometimes pregnant of a buzz, a little unreal? the morning light starting just a trifle more thrilling, sun coming up in a bolder orange flair, morning ♫churpeys♪ from our winged friends sounding gingerly cheerful; the very air holding still, for the natural spring curiosity to begin? i mean, we all got to dream a little, if it's only february still?

if like me, you would like to dance under an umbrella of lepidoptorous {love the sound of that word} polychrome, and in the action would like to get brushed by brightly coloured miracle dust, why, you might even catch john keats unawares, reciting heavenly rhyme. do join in the hopeful band of volunteering butterfly wings and sign up, sign in already. we'll be waiting in the sideline. fluttering. ♥

are flapping flutterby wings this coming weekend {18-19/02}: patrice, ariane, renilde, rosemary, jasmin, demie, victoria, leena, stephanie, tatjana, hagar, nina, julia, tania, lise, ...

corner view ≈ old, new, borrowed, blue

·
is it me who's rambling on about my new, old house at times? did i borrow money to get this house, and does it ever make me blue?
·
i know.
·
i'm making it up as i go along! not being married, this old new borrowed blue tradition is an occurrence which hasn't passed my way. yet. {nub of floor tile as shown here, borrowed from nature, would you believe it?}

·
so improv time is mine and here's as close as i could get to blue underwear. thrifted lately, extra long undershirt from the fifties {and belgian!}. durable, came in the original cellophane wrap. bingo on the old, new!

now for a man!

something old,

something new,

something borrowed,

something blue
