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!

Inspired by my daughter Lucy who wanted 'grown up' pocket mirrors instead of wee cutesy ones I came up with some limited edition 'Art Mirrors' from my artwork!  Folksy

I got to see this lovey wee matchbox by Jane when I was down at Hazel's house! So it had to be highlighted with my matchbox travels! Thank you Hazel!

"In using a contemporary novel as a back drop for the embroidery, the cut work decoration is used to manipulate this meaning when combined with the written word - in Sadie Smiths White Teeth some of the abrupt, crass language in the book emerges through the printed textual layers of paper, jarring the reading, perhaps forcing to viewer to reconsider the role of embroidery in the 21st Century."

"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.
