Always wanted to sketch this building and finally gave it a shot the last time I went to Cubbon. Hard for a person like me who's used to loose expressive florals. Good thing I never tried to be an architect! :) #Watercolor #Artpost #ArtSky #Sketching #Sketchbook #Bangalore #UrbanSketching

Etymology of the day: in the expression ‘just deserts’, ‘deserts’ is an old past participle of the French ‘deservir’, meaning ‘deserve’. To get your just deserts is to get what you deserve. ‘Desert’ in this sense is obsolete, which is why lexicographers see ‘just desserts’ popping up everywhere.

My 1st time #weaving: a hands-on rigid heddle demo led by my friend Janet Finch on a pre-warped loom. I tried every pattern I could find ’til I ran out of warp & this sampler shawl is the result. Lesson: beginners don’t have to stick to beginner patterns! #MakersMartch #ArtYear #Woven #FiberArts 🧶

Six closeup views of a handwoven shawl. Five show in progress work while on the rigid heddle loom, one is the finished shawl worn by the maker.

The yarn color palette is reminiscent of a 1970s era kitchen: avocado green, harvest gold, and rose, with accents of orange, purple, and a dark green.

Techniques and tools: plain weave, 2x2 and 4x4 Leno twists, Brooke’s Bouquet lace, clasped weft, added mohair and Wensleydale locks and silk noil; 24” $5 garage sale loom with one heddle, swords and pickup sticks (to deepen the single shed and to add a second).

A pair of purple sunbirds, photographed on the roof. While these birds can hover and drink nectar, usually they perch on the branch and do it. Sometimes they even pierce the flower at base to drink the nectar. #BackyardWildlife #Nature #Birds #Photography 🪶 📸📸 🌿🖌️ 1/2

The males can appear all black in harsh sunlight but the purple iridescence is visible on closer observation or under good light conditions

Page from my Sketchbook!

Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) and her juvenile from Kokkare Belluru Bird Sanctuary, Karnataka, India.

Another species whose population is slowly decreasing. It is interesting to watch the juvenile’s hiding in the tree branches and venture out only when their parents are near them. Here the juvenile just came out for a few seconds before returning to the thickets. It is a joy to watch the patterns on their wings and such behaviors.

Wonderful abstract #art created in the icy puddles of a field near my home. Aren’t the patterns amazing! #nature #photography #winter

This collage features nine close-up photographs of intricate ice patterns. Each square showcases unique formations of frost and ice, including crystalline structures, sharp angular shards, hexagonal shapes, and swirling frost trails. The dominant color is a frosty blue with white highlights, evoking a cold and delicate winter aesthetic.
