Still on a mission to spread the cult of the #WindMaster <; But honestly, who can resist that smile?! (spoiler alert: not me) I hope you like it!

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.

She now travels around the world, beautifying buildings and making various street art.

She prepares her detailed designs in advance. Then she unrolls them at the chosen location. Her desire is to bring a dash of color and creativity to the surrounding area. I wonder how long it holds up in the weather. I can’t even see where they attached the mesh. So pretty.

Nikkie de Jager wears a dress paying tribute to Marsha P Johnson

...at the Met Gala 2021 - 'In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion'.

The 'P' in Johnson's name stood for 'Pay It No Mind', which can be seen embroidered on the ribbon. The flower crown references the most well-known photograph of this transgender icon.

For those who don’t know the backstory, Nikkie is a beauty vlogger who came out as trans in 2020, when she shared that someone was trying to blackmail her and threatening to out her.
