An Inspirational Visit to Almeria

     Oh, the places you can pick up ideas for future projects.

Like this one:

El Museo Arquelogico in Almeria, Spain, featured in a recent post from Rae Crothers' blog, A Life by Design.

Some of the mosaics featured in the"Museum of Archeology" look strangely familiar:


'Rob Peter to Pay Paul,' anyone?
Or a plain square pattern, arranged on point. Simple -- and effective.


I was also intrigued by the woven effect on one of the museum's installations:




Couldn't this be done with ribbons over a basic pieced patchwork pattern...maybe the squares design mentioned above?

There's a thought.


Be sure to read the entire post -- you'll find more attentioneers, including this wall:




Wouldn't that make a great border -- or allover pattern? I even like the 'disappearing' effect at the base.

I'm very glad, Rae. Your blogposts have given me such pleasure that it's nice to be able to return that favor. I've enjoyed 'traveling' with you.

thank you for generously loaning them...and writing.

Don't Get Discouraged...
