Having been a bit slow to post, again, I have included quite a few photos by way of compensation, starting with an unexpected gift from a return visitor to Art Space. Tomoko first called in at the gallery earlier in the year and came back a couple of weeks ago - with her daughter this time. She brought some art cards, including a view of Mount Fuji........
A blank canvas for me to paint..............(click the pic to view the Japanese script on the back of the postcards)
And what do we have here?
Wow! What a wonderful piece of material, measuring 44 x 41 inches, I'm bowled over by the design and colours.
What to do with this gorgeous stuff? My preferred option is to get it hemmed for use as a tablecloth to be arranged diamond fashion over a plain white rectangular cloth on special occasions, like Christmas for example.
Beautiful design, screen printed onto 100% cotton. Thank you Tomoko, it was great to meet you again, and your daughter.
Interestingly, a little investigation via Google reveals that the HQ of Alexander Henry Fabrics is situated in Burbank, California!
Maybe a tablecloth is not such a good idea - I don't want to get marks on it. Any suggestions anyone?
Now here we have a complete change of subject, shells collected on my most recent beach walk, photographed immersed in water to recreate how they looked on the sea shore. Look at the colours - orange, pinks and reds - pulverised by the sea on a regular basis and so giving the yellow sand its underlying warm, 'pinky' hue.
I think these spotty fragments have come from a lobster or crab
See the tiny Common European or Spotted Cowrie.
