Description
Andrea posted a picture of keys the other day, arranged in a pattern known as knolling. I'd never heard of it before, and was fascinated to learn that something I've seen a million times has a specific name! I love Renderosity. I learn stuff all the time.
See Andrea's picture HERE
According to the dictionary, "Knolling is the process of arranging related objects in parallel or 90-degree angles as a method of organization."
These little Egyptian figurines were on display at the Nelson Atkins in Kansas City.
I added a couple other images to make it more interesting, and went nuts with Topaz.
Three layers of Topaz on the original image. I believe they were:
Mex Bike
City Flare
Cherry Blossom

I didn't know the Nelson Atkins Museum had gone souvenir shopping in Cairo. You can't imagine how many times I came across a blanket or table with figurines like this lined up just like this for sale. "Veddy, veddy old! From the pyramids!" Of course they didn't have the crackerjack background to enhance the display. I absolutely lurve that background. Outstanding work.

What a triumph ! I still have a problem with that word, like Mark I immediately thought of bells tolling the knell, and then like you I looked it up and thought 'Who on earth thought this was an appropriate name for organising?"
I love the final effect you made.

as I mentioned privately, the "knoll" here comes from a Florence Knoll, who designed furniture; and has nothing to do with the 'word' knoll, which may be a reason why the word's so hard to find---at least for some of us, lol (Andrea's with me, above). There's something almost "Warhol" about this, with the repeated figures, and the variations in each one. In fact, the top row looks like you covered over their faces, or photographed them backwards. But then there's the background...A large Egyptian prince or princess, in profile, so it's in counterpoint with the figurines. And your hues---the pinker part is textured by your postwork; and the postwork responds to the lines of the figurines, which is special. Then you have that tree---is that the tree from one of your "rejects" (which you showed me and then posted)? It's an act of intuition, and it works perfectly. And your postwork adds shadow around the figures, so they stand out. Love the feel of it, it's a lot of fun to move through all the variations, like Warhol's coke bottles. And it's real knolling too. Really creative work, Tara.

Wonderful Work,

Interesting arrangement. It reminds me of the Chinese grave with all the soldiers lined up. Anahata thinks like me - winds up taking some of my thought out comments. Mind reader? At any rate, good job with this Knoll. I really enjoyed looking at and comparing the different figures! Keep up the good work! :-)

I too had never heard of that word so now it is going to bug me until I can use it somewhere 😀 I love how you have presented all these figures so beautifully with the background and then mellowed it with Topez. Excellent work. 😀

Excellent arrangement and atmosphere!

OK - that's a new one on me...... Apparently, I was engaged in a lengthy 'knolling' session a few months ago with several boxes of tile.... LOL
This is a most delightful image, knolled or not. I can't remember the last time I visited the Nelson...

A metaphoric picture of antic egypt.

WOW, how BEAUTIFUL, and mysterious is THAT!!! How amazing to discover that intriguing big Egyptian head behind the "knolling ones", as if the series of little ones arose from his head; created by his thinking, and he is their hero, their kind of chief. You did great here, dear Tara, and I've learned something interesting too, thanks to you. btw. I hope the flu has been "extinguished" ;-)

Great job Tara. I looked at Andrea's upload and it looked good too. Well, I learned something too. I had never heard of trolling before, or if i had, it didn't register!
