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!

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!

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

"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
