Poems and drawings and clay and fire.



It seems so long since I asked Iris Milward if I could buy some tiles for my floor, and she said, no, that she would like to swap some work. She has been so patient with me as I have only sent her one drawing so far, but am so enthused to send more after seeing what she has made with the one. The drawing above is heading off in the post to her as so far she has only seen it in the digital form, but below is what she made from it. I love her work an dlive with it in my floor every day so that I walk on poetry. We are both in the illustration and calligraphy tent in Art in Action in July and I am hoping to swap more work for tiles I can have in my small back garden. Her work is beautiful.

  1. Fantastic! I remember discovering 'Poetry tiles' at Art in Action last year, and I love them too...
    I bought one for my Dad's 60th birthday, though I wish I could put some into my house as well... bet yours look stunning!
    Glad to hear you're at Art in Action again. I thought it was such a good event I'll definately try and go again this year... So much to see! Perhaps I'll see you again there...
    Best wishes and hope you're well...
