I first read about the quilt being made by the prisoners in the high security wing of Wandsworth Prison in the Autumn edition of the magazine Intelligent Life. You can read the article here online. It has turned up in the news again on Times Online, as the newspaper is supporting the charity Fine Cell Work in [...]
Frohe Weihnachten On Thursday evening we went for a private guided tour of the exhibition “Art for the Millions” at the Schirn Gallery in Frankfurt. The company DH works for is a corporate sponsor of the gallery and this is one of the perks for employees and spouses. The exhibition shows over 100 life-sized figures in seven scenes [...] Well I have the answer to my question as to the size of the piece. Wietske was kind enough to pass on the answer she received from Jo-Ann to the same question concerning the size constraints.

So here it is launched. I like the new clean lines. I hope you all do too. I’ve done [...] Well the trip to the UK to take part in the master class with Alice Kettle has made another small hole in my purse. Why is it that all the bits and pieces for your sewing machine seem to cost an arm and a leg? I guess because they have a captive market. Especially with the [...] Well not in the books that I read about keeping sketchbooks anyway. I just bought myself a sketchbook. Up to now for my C&G course I have just been using a spiral bound pad of paper for my course work. The new sketchbook said it was a sketchbook and told me the weight of the paper. I [...] |
