Tile Tuesday

I'm starting a new way (for me) of highlighting the people's work I really enjoy. It's called -  Tile Tuesday.  I'm hoping to select six images from designers. makers, photographers, artists and highlight their work, on a weekly basis, at my new blog Red Road (both my Red Road and Ziggy have taken over a wee bit and I'm in a quandary as to keeping my a life lighter and black red white going. So many things going on). 

But if you have a moment to comment I'd love you to pop over to Red Road and perhaps suggest who you would choose??  Thank you in advance for your support!

Thank you Rob for the 'heads up' on the wonderful art of traditional matchboxes - I remember Russian cigarette packs being as wonderful as these - must look in to them. Flickr Link

"I found a lovely poem by T.S Eliot called "New Hampshire". Inspired by this, I made a small illustrated accordion book and tiny embroidered tree. And they fit! ( the tree only just but it does fit!) I am really satisfied with the result - it is exactly as I imagined it to be. The matchbox was covered using a page of text from an old Yates Garden guide titled "beginning a garden".  APPLEHEAD

the matchbox project

Just came across a matchbox project and this image just made me smile!  Leanne and Naomi Shedlezki - an artist duo from Sydney, Australia, have been creating and presenting work across Australia, Japan, the United States and China. Their work incorporates performance, photography, new media, installation and collaborative exchange.

I'm heading to Prague for the week and to get me in the mood for a bit of street art I found this on Artifact .... can't wait!

And, of course, some classic Art Deco and Art Nouveau as found here (Klimt) at the Prague Museum

Beautiful sensitive piece - I must be in a delicate phase of research at the moment.

I've been working on my computer again trying out some software to help my students with and came up with this based on some vintage packaging paper I had..  great fun but it took ages!  I printed it out on to card and will put it on Etsy as a blank greeting's card some time this evening. .. off for a coffee!
