Three-time Quilt Show guest Paula Nadelstern just loves her kaleidoscope quilts and has an ongoing series of them. The kaleidoscope motif is so complex, its repetition gives the viewer needed opportunity to absorb and comprehend the pattern. Since they are cut from the same cloth, literally, all the pieced kaleidoscopes reinforce one another, and the repetition of the motifs creates a surface of elements in harmony, not competition. This geometric mandala is joined by identically-patterned, partial motifs. ![]() Unlike some of the quilts in which a variety of deployed pieced kaleidoscopes, unified only by a vaguely similar color palette, sit in uneasy relationships with one another, in this quilt only one motif is seen in its entirety.

Paula goes into great detail about her tools, techniques and different fabrics and their role in a kaleidoscope quilt. The incorporation of related crystalline forms, notably snowflakes, has continued to lead Nadelstern through an artistic evolution that has encompassed science, history, innovation, and tradition. ![]() Focusing first on the kaleidoscopic quality in the symmetry, Nadelstern innovated new techniques and developed a highly refined, intricate, and distinctive personal aesthetic.

He became a reality TV star in the BET show The Family Crews (2010-11), which featured his entire family. The second decade of the 2000s has been a good one for Crews. Crews also reprised his Expendables role as Hale Caesar in two sequels and a video game based on the series. Crews soon began landing larger roles in high-profile movies such as Balls of Fury (2007), Get Smart (2008), Terminator Salvation (2009), The Expendables (2010) and Bridesmaids (2011). With his face seen on TVs across the country, Crews began getting more film parts, and roles in White Chicks (2004), The Longest Yard (2005) and Norbit (2007) followed. In 2005 Crews made a bigger splash when he returned to the small screen, landing the recurring role of Julius on the Chris Rock comedy Everybody Hates Chris. The following year, he made his big-screen debut in The 6th Day, followed by a string of small roles in such films as Serving Sara (2002), Friday After Next (2002) and Deliver Us From Eva (2003). In 1997 Crews retired from professional football and briefly took on the role of T-Money on the TV action competition Battle Dome (1999). He also managed to squeeze in a season with the Rhein Fire (Germany) in the World League of American Football.ĭuring Crews’ football years, he also tapped his artistic talents, creating a line of NFL-licensed lithographs for a national sports memorabilia company. He played two seasons with the Rams before becoming an NFL journeyman, playing with the San Diego Chargers (1993-94), Washington Redskins (1995) and Philadelphia Eagles (1996). In the 1991 NFL draft, the 6’2”, 245-pound Crews was drafted in the 11th round by the Los Angeles Rams. He then earned a full scholarship to play football at Western Michigan University, where he was an art major.Īs part of the WMU football team, Crews was a major force, earning all-conference honors as a defensive end and playing on the 1988 Mid-American Conference champion Broncos. He graduated from Flint’s Southwestern Academy before earning an Art Excellence Scholarship to attend the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts. Terry Crews was born in Flint, Michigan, on July 30, 1968. ![]() Also known for appearing in a series of Old Spice commercials, Crews launched The Family Crews in 2010, a reality series starring his whole family. Crews has also found success on the small screen, having recurring roles on Are We There Yet?, Arrested Development and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Many film roles have followed, among them White Chicks (2004), The Expendables (2010) and its sequels, and Bridesmaids (2011). After several years playing pro football, Crews retired and pursued an acting career, which took flight on the big screen in 2000's The 6th Day. ![]() Terry Crews was drafted by the NFL's Los Angeles Rams in 1991. ![]() In days gone by, if you saw a button in a microgame, you tapped your real-life "A" button and the button would get slapped. Those controls are arguably best described as "Super MarioWare." The cast must now run, jump, fly, and blast as platforming characters inside of each microgame. Intelligent Systems, in search of ways to spice up the series this many years in, has expanded WW:GIT's control portfolio. Perhaps this should have been named Super MarioWare These exceptions aside, the games generally hewed to simplicity. Newer titles tried wacky control twists, including a tilt sensor on WarioWare: Twisted and motion control goofiness on WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Eight seconds later, you'd try all over again. In the earliest entries in the franchise, a tap of the d-pad or a single action button is all you needed to get a pretty clear sign of whether or not you understood a particular microgame. Each microgame starts with brief instructions: "Block! Escape! Count!" Between that and whatever you see on-screen, you have a very small window of time to parse what's happening-Do what? Go where? The last thing you want is further complication. The other half is typically the to-the-bone simplicity of its controls. That's only half of the WarioWare promise. ("We didn't make this game! Selfish, brutish, farting Wario did!") Since Wario "made" these games, they can be as uncouth as he is, thus allowing longtime Nintendo partner studio Intelligent Systems to get cartoonishly stupid and giddy with its ideas. The plot gimmick is that villain Wario has designed these ridiculous games in order to sell them a la carte, become rich, and pose with piles of money while laughing in his waa-aa-aa way. A brief primer: Wario class is in sessionĪ refresher: WarioWare games revolve around the premise of rapid-fire microgames, each roughly eight seconds long (with "bosses" lasting a whopping 60 seconds or so). Yet the collection has not been put together quite right, and the result is a rare case of Nintendo putting a game out before it feels finished. WW:GIT is hard to fault on a piece-by-piece basis, and when laid on a table like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle, its parts are up to the series' standard of humor, creativity, and polish. In fact, it may very well be Nintendo's most ambitious collection of "microgames" yet.īut ambition is nothing without execution. I can't knock the 18-year-old franchise for sequelitis, and this latest title doesn't rest on its Wario-styled yellow-and-purple laurels. ![]() That last series in the list is now up to its ninth entry: this week's WarioWare: Get It Together. Remember, behind a pile of Mario and Zelda remakes, Nintendo has a considerable stash of irreverence and whimsy, as proven by franchises like Rhythm Heaven, Elite Beat Agents, and WarioWare. I've lost track of how many times I've looked at a formulaic Nintendo sequel and wished for something fresher.
