  1. Bargello designs are built from vertical stitches, laid in sequence so that colours rise and fall, creating flowing waves, shifting flames, or soft gradients that almost seem to move across the fabric. Used in ornate upholstery in 17th-century Italy and applied to chairs and other furniture, these patterns require precision and concentration. Even a single misplaced stitch will completely break the rhythm. As a highly-skilled embroiderer, it is up to you to make sure your needle is correctly Threaded: A Game of Needles and Points by Ellie Dix from @ospreygames with art by Maria Surducan.

  4. Upcycled a hand embroidered bargello pillow cover that echoes the colours in our rug. Thrifted the original (with powder blue satin ruffle) for a couple dollars, took it apart, and fashioned a border and back from curtain offcuts to make one that suits me better. People give these things away not appreciating the hours of work that went into them.

  8. The beauty of photography is in the angles you choose.

    Florence reveals its history in layers, depending on how you frame it. In my last post, Neptune stood as the focal point, but here, the Marzocco—the proud lion of Florence—takes center stage, gripping the city’s emblem as a symbol of strength and independence.

    Behind it, the Badia Fiorentina rises with its striking Gothic bell tower, once a powerful Benedictine abbey. To the right, the Bargello, a medieval fortress-turned-museum, adds to the depth of Florence’s story—a past shaped by politics, art, and revolution.

    A shift in perspective, and the city tells a new tale. That’s the magic of both travel and photography—seeing the same place in a different light.

  13. Due to the absolute barest amount of peer pressure, I'm having my first go at needlepoint.

    But I'm also recording it all for a video, so this is probably all you'll get until it's finished.

    Believe it or not, it's going to be a bowl?

    Also turns out bargello is super fun both to do and to say. Bargello bargello bargello!

  19. You know that "Oh god, WHY did I start this?" phase of a project. I hit it with this quilt. Check out the video. There is no swearing in in it, though. Like, comment, boost, support if you can. youtu.be/PbGzMNGbtcI

  23. CW: Violence against women, pictures are fine

    4. I will leave the nuances of the actual sculpture for the experts, but standing in front of the sculpture, alone in this small corner of the museum, she was breathtaking. The detail was amazing, and she felt real, as if she was staring back at me.

    She was born in Viterbo, Italy. She was literate, well educated, and lived in Rome for most of her life.

  24. CW: Violence against women

    3. Her name is Costanza Bonarelli, and this sculpture, by Gianlorenzo Bernini is the result of an affair that ended in violence and punishment for the wrong people. #bargello #florence #italy #bernini

    2. I was thinking about this as I sat outside the Bargello Museum, waiting to see this woman:

  26. CW: Violence against women Bernini, Renaissance Art

    Last thread for the day I promise!

    1. One of the things I struggle with (one of many) IS the idea that great art and great people are oftentimes problematic personally. Crappy people sometimes do amazing things, and while it is true that you really don't want to be remembered for the worst thing you did, is it ok to admire the work of someone that may have been an awful human being?
