All day painting and gathering ideas, listening to Laura Marling and David Hughes. Also wonderful piece on Woman's Hour about quilts, including one that was made by convicts on the voyage to Australia, the Rajah Quilt on loan from the National Gallery of Australia. Among the stitchers was a fifteen year old girl who was transported to the prison colonies for stealing a bolt of cloth.
Hannah, my daughter, is fifteen.
I have to go to London soon to see my publisher so I hope I can persaude them that we need to meet in the V&A so that I can see it. I can feel a story coming on.
Mug designs for MBF. Some may become notelets. Some may be small paintings.
Lovely drawings and thanks for the quilt link

ReplyDeleteAll bloody gorgeous as usual. I particularly like the travelling ones, you could turn and turn and turn the mug and round they would go.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want the running dog one now please.
ReplyDeleteI am particularly taken with the tiger and also the dogs - I think it has to do with the movement.
ReplyDeleteI am with Kathy really on this and I am sure she can have one and I can have the other...we can share - maybe....
ReplyDeleteI am a quilter in Canada and I was reading about the V&A quilt show yesterday. Was also very impressed by the tale of the Convicts' quilt and would be delighted to see what you could do witht his material (keep the pun). Sadly I will probably not see the show.
ReplyDeleteThey have what looks like an amazing catalogue Libby. Quite expensive. Hoping to go to the show in April and will see if photography is allowed.
ReplyDeleteI love your musical processions and also the windows with musicians in each one. I think they are delightful!
