Paula Nadelstern. Kaleidoscope the very word promises surprise and magic, change and chance. Exploding with visual excitement, a kaleidoscopic design organizes an abundance of light and color, form and motion into a complex and coherent image.

Ben Millett's current making-emphasis is quilts.

'I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.'
Introducing ‘pieced’ A book that takes you on a visual journey through the quiltmaking process of Ruth de Vos. The book outlines Ruth’s quiltmaking process from gleaning ideas through to finishing the edges of the quilt, with lots of step-by-step photos, as well as inspirational shots. It also inc
Gwen Marston has been recognized for many decades as an influential quiltmaker. She developed her style early in her career or, as art quilters like to say, found her voice. Amish and what I call primitive quilts have been huge influences on her work. She quilts much of her work by hand. Gwen's most recent…

When I asked Brenda Stofft to design a steampunk witch just for us I never dreamed it would be this spectacular. The canvas is gorgeous! That goes without saying. All of Brenda’s canvases are spectacular but this one really captured my heart. I love the colors, the details, just everything about it. And then I […]
Today we're looking at some of the techniques used in the gigantic Winterfell build by Playwell Bricks aka. Jason Pyett. If you haven't seen it before, make sure you check out his Flickr account here as this is only a tiny proportion of it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/playwell_bricksWhen looking at the model you have to think of the complex techniques that must have been used to create such shapes, but when looking closer and at the interior you can see Jason uses very simple parts.

Today we’re looking at an ingenious technique used by builders @Barthezzbrick and @caleb_saw on Instagram, who create foliage and vines using a minifigure accessory more commonly found in the hands of cowboys…The whip piece’s flexible material allows it to be twisted and looped in organic spirals, like vines that tangle and creep along walls! Caleb Saw uses this technique to depict an overgrown ruin. In Barthezz Brick’s build, the contorted whips are pinned in place with leafy elements while pla
