PAGE 6 - FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS HOMEDESIGN RIGHT AT HOME Modern folklore patterns adorn decor any young international designers are drawing on heritage, folklore and their imaginations to create contemporary textile, Mceramic and wall-covering patterns. Some are finding larger audiences through decor retailers and online sites. Others are taking their imaginations outdoors, onto the sides of buildings. At Spoonflower , designer Andrea Lauren creates linocut patterns of woodland animals, flora, even the Loch Ness monster. They’re printed on textiles that can be used for pillows, curtains, bedding or lampshades. Illustrator Jeremiah Witting of Portland, Oregon, does pen-and-ink illus- trations inspired by a 1910 compendium of Grimm’s Fairy Tales passed down to him by his grandmother. And for Parisian artist Vannina Baquere, inspiration comes from an eclectic mix of Mexican serape blan- kets, fantastic gardens and Scandinavian folk prints. Many early American quilt and rug patterns live comfortably in the 21st century because of their simple geometric designs and clean color palettes. At Garnet Hill , the Johanna puts a modern spin on pieced quilts with circle pieces instead of traditional squares. Annie Selke’s Merry Go Round hooked rug re-scales the playful medallions and flowers of a 1930s artwork that Selke found in France; the rug is offered in two different colorways. Great Plains Native American motifs are crafted into a bold geometric rug exclusively at Crate & Kids from Los Angeles-based Bethany Yellowtail. The artist has also done a striking wool blanket, available on her own website, that she calls “All My Relations.” Stripes of various configura- tions reflect Crow and Northern Cheyenne elements, both part of her heritage. Modcloth has ceramic plates and glassware decorated with delicately painted folk art motifs in a pretty palette of charcoal, lime, orange and mint, from the company One Hundred Eighty Degrees in St. Paul, Minnesota. Nathalie Lete’s storybook-style ceramic collection at Anthropologie features winsome woodland creatures, fruits and flowers, all hand-paint- ed. At the Heimtextil fair in Frankfurt, Germany, in January, design stu- dents from PatternLab, a master’s program at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland, showed their work to potential buyers. Many designs were inspired by Finnish folk art. For pattern designers without access to an exhibition booth at an inter- national fair, there are lots of online portals to sell work. Besides www. etsy.com , there’s www.creativemarket.com,www.society6.com, and www.redbubble.com. In her Harvest collection for her studio Half Drop, Romanian designer Alexandra Lazarescu reinterprets her country’s folklore through the lens of her architecture background. Traditional spoons, botanicals, wheels, and symbols of day and night are rendered in geometric patterns that have a distinct Arts and Crafts vibe. The National Museum of Warsaw recently opened its Gallery of Polish Design, showcasing some of that country’s rich folkloric tradition in carved furniture, ceramics and textiles. In studios around the city, and in nearby Lodz, young makers are translating those designs for the 20th century, using digital printing, 3-D imaging and other modern tech- niques. International decor powerhouses like IKEA, Vitra and Hay are buying their work. In Zalipie, a village about three hours from Warsaw, huts and homes are painted with elaborate floral and geometric motifs. The practice began generations ago as a way for residents to cover walls smudged with soot from stoves. Other designers are playing with lacework, another of Poland’s renowned craft arts.

My son is living with a girlfriend, “Bridget.” Bridget is a drinker, and my son tends to head down that lane if encour- aged, but he is not a good drinker. Well, there was an argu- ment, and the police were called, and he was put under a pro- tective order and cannot be near Bridget. They are not respect- At The Movies ing that order and are back together. Angie refuses to allow the children to go to Bridget and Barry’s house. So for the past month, he has been coming to our house with the kids every weekend. This is not a problem for me. But now Bridget’s family is coming for a visit, and he is planning a vacation with them and the kids. Angie found out, and now it’s an all-out war. I ended up in the hospital, and my doctor believes that though it was most likely because of many factors, the stress over this situation put me over the edge. Barry and Angie have always gotten along, and it breaks my heart to see this all falling apart. I think Bridget was threatened by their having a good relationship and decided to stir the pot. Drinking is the cause of all this nonsense, though my son has promised me they are not drinking. I want to shake him and make him see that Angie is right, but I just do not want to fight with him. I told Angie that I don’t want to talk about it -- that I am supportive of her but can’t be stressed out. Am I handling this right? Should I keep my mouth shut, or should I speak up more to my son? His court case is in two months, so there is still a chance he will go to jail. -- Nervous Nana Dear Nervous Nana: The person who should be worried is not you but your son. The fact that he could go to jail and lose custody altogether should be enough to persuade him to reach out for real help with his alcohol problem. If his current girl- friend is bringing him down this bad path, he must ask himself whether she is worth possibly losing his kids over. He must be sober in order to make a rational decision. You sound like a very good grandmother, and you are cor- rect to maintain a good relationship with the mother of your grandchildren. Remember that all three of you share a com- mon goal -- namely, doing what is best for their kids. Lying is never a good thing, especially when there is a court order involved. Be as honest as you can with your concerns about your son, and continue to keep an open line of communication with your daughter-in-law. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April 27, 2018: This year you often greet change with an underly- ing sense of confusion, but you like the potential of what is being presented. You will opt to make some changes. Your first mental take of an issue usually will be right-on. If you are single, you might have diffi- culty recognizing The One, even if he or she is stand- ing right in front of you. Try not to make major rela- DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker tionship decisions this year. If you are attached, the two of you could have frequent misunderstandings. Learn to communicate with greater precision. LIBRA teaches you how to not take every issue seriously.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Others have a lot to share. Fatigue plays a role in your dealings with a work-related matter. Confusion surrounds you as well as others. Confirm meeting times, locations and any statements that seem off. Let a friend or partner take the lead for the moment. Tonight: In the limelight. SCARY GARY Mark Buford TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Pace yourself, and understand what is going on around you. See what might be the best way to proceed. Communication could run amok when dealing with a co-worker or someone who plays a low-key role in your daily life. Tonight: Return calls and emails first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your imagination helps you come to terms with a wild person. Recognize what is happen- ing around you, especially if a partner is being affect- Crosswords ed. Confusion marks the moment. Double-check meeting places and any other key details. Tonight: Be DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni your playful self. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Stay centered, and know what is happening behind the scenes. You could be tired of a partner distancing him- or herself from you. A misunderstand- ing starts up from out of nowhere. Know what you want. A situation easily could backfire. Tonight: Happiest at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Listen more carefully to what is occurring around you. You might feel as if everything is under control, but a surprise visit could throw you off. Note when you feel out of sync. You might want to back off until you feel more centered. Tonight: With friends at a favorite haunt. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. Know that the budget you are in the pro- cess of making could be off. You cannot be too pre- cise, especially if you are dealing with a child or loved one. Confusion runs riot through your plans. Tonight: Use care with spending. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You will want to observe others more carefully; what they say might not be what they mean. A loved one might not even be aware of what is hap- pening or of the inconsistency in what he or she says. A friend or family member could be depressed. Tonight: Do your thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHHH Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a communication problem. Ask questions and seek clarity. You will get a positive response eventu- ally. Understand that mixed messages are likely. What one person says could be sincere but off-base. Tonight: Cozy up at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Emphasize your long-term goals, no matter what kind of crosscurrents occur. You could feel finan- cially restricted and as if certain matters are out of your control. Listen to what someone shares, but know that you aren’t getting the full story. Tonight: Out and about. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett HHHH Listen to a higher-up who can interpret ANDY CAPP what is going on far better than most people. What is happening could startle you and become a source of tension. Double-check any strange statement you hear, and don’t let your mood be affected by present uproar. Tonight: Say “yes.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Listen to what a loved one shares. Even if this person is no longer geographically close to you, it doesn’t mean that he or she doesn’t understand what is happening. Confirm what you hear, as miscommuni- Cryptoquip cation is likely. A slight depression will pass. Tonight: Try out a new spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH One-on-one relating provides a lot of feedback. Given some time, you will see a situation ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe differently from how you do presently. More informa- tion will come forward. Confusion surrounds com- munication. Know that this, too, will pass. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.
