Windows Tile Glitching Moments

When I get a slightly colourful and line filled scroll bar on my internet browser or just when using a program on my computer, and then of course when my phone does this:

                                                                                                                Over here is how it should look
                Up here is how it looked when glitching

It's not done this in a while now sadly as I like the idea of the gradient, but those colours are a lifeless combination. Pop in some reds next time Cortana

White wool and golden thread

Scarf made of white wool knit and golden glitter thread.

The patterns on it consist of wavy lines and almost like drawings.
The overall effect is lace like,
taking inspiration from the revival of lace and netting on clothing.

The popularity of wool throughout the autumn and winter has been really important in getting me to see this material in a contemporary light. Mixing coloured wools with glittering threads and beautifully designed knits has been a key textile popular trend.  

My first white woollen scarf in years.
A birthday present that is still in pretty good nick.

Zag-zig and diamond flakes

So tempting to skive today's post, but I figured 

these photos have been waiting to finally be shown in all their glory, 

admittedly one is a little blurry.

Very simple shapes used on a coat lining,
here is a photo from the hood part of the coat.
Using wavy and zig zag lines as well as snowflake like structures
created using the diamond shape.

The colour is a brilliant kind of midway between pink
and purple and red, 

kind of plumish but with more red thrown in.

Any way the coat belongs to a friend and was bought from Primark.
Fantastic!

The week of coats special has come to a close, but hopefully I'll be able to do a month special next month with it being January, or maybe another week special for the first week of January.
Back to the random regulars.

Better on the inside with weaves

Starting out the first of the cold months coats week with this coat
found in a charity shop,
which has an interesting inside lining,
made up of both plain fabric
and this brilliant hessian like weave.
Its so tactile and interesting,
again begging the question of weave itself in a piece of clothing, bringing to light its importance,
its initial skeleton and character building of the fabric and item of clothing.
Something personally interesting me at the moment in my own work.

The edges of the coat reveal this beautiful weave very quietly,
with it almost edging forward,
falling
onto the front like some dribbling
                                                                                water running down
the inside part of a table leg.

An overall look of the coat,
to me the outside was quite plain and dull and lacked any detailing on the front except for the beautiful creeping weave.
The colour was a dull grey, possibly because of its age,
so I hope perhaps it was better grey when new.
Though maybe it could be carefully dyed?
Though I imagine a nice bit of embroidery in select places could it bring it back to life.

Buttons lets the coat down too, I'm not a fashionista,
but to me buttons are like the part of a coats soul.
So to conclude, in essay like style,
the inside was more interesting than the outside.
Doesn't sound right, does it?  

Autumn and falling

Those boxy trees at university seem to be stubbornly refusing to believe its autumn,
or at least the last few at the back of the ones that are bare.

 

I realise its probably because of the way the back tree 

 gets more shade and maybe 

seems to not learn till late 

that its time to let its leaves fall. 

It reminds me just how uncontrollable nature can be, 

despite those boxes that seem to trap the structure of the trees. 

 

The colours seem to bring to a colour spectrum of greens and yellows, 

a pretty thing frozen in its moment, before they are all bare.

 

To think all the leaves on the ground get biodegraded down, 

and turn, 

eventually, 

back into living things like leaves etc. 

Talk about the Lion King's favourite cycle of life.
