Finally got all the Bionicle location posters up 💕 so glad I finally got around to framing and hanging them.

I do counted cross stitch, so I think that this building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is amazing.  The creator’s name is Raquel Rodrigo, an artist, and designer from Valencia, Spain.

It looks like graffiti from a distance, but close up, you can see that it’s actually a cross-stitch pattern affixed to this Philadelphia Naval Yard property building.

Take a look at the detail here. It must’ve taken such a long time to achieve this stunning final effect. She covered it with wire mesh like a giant cross stitch canvas.

What a brilliant idea. 

According to the artist, she wanted to bring feminine art that has dressed homes around the world to the street. However, her idea was to use a cross-stitch pattern to do so instead of graffiti.

Or ask for them to be taken down. I think once the books are available to buy—paper or e—it would be nice if people who could afford it would buy. (our kids have very expensive tastes. You know: food and whatnot.) But for years they’ve been unavailable except by ‘pirated’ means. These men and women kept the series alive. They kept the books available. So no, we did NOT take these books down.”

I last second yoinked my friend's five-year-old out of the way of an oncoming Chevy lift-kit of dumbassery at my sister's wedding and the reactions from my parents, my sister, the manslaughterer-to-be, and the kid's mom were just like "Huh!" *nod of approval* *back to business*.

Watch everyone else's faces in those videos, it's just like "Wow! Yep, dad stuff. Anyways Marguerite about this incoming van -"

After drawing that Tahu, I was asked where the rest of the Toa where
