Went to a wedding, met a monkeh! Seemed like a nice chap.
On the arts front, I have finally finished the print installations that I’ll be taking to the Penarth Pavilion Gallery for a new show that opens next week, with work from Swansea and Cardiff Print Workshops.
These small stamped images of Frida Kahlo were developed from a screenprint I did last summer. I did a series on nine women artists who inspire me and I made the rubber stamp of Frida as an experiment and I really like the result so I’m hoping to do the rest of the artists in the series. I printed these on Shiohara paper and stitched them to a heavyweight Tate Gallery Indian paper and sewed ribbon onto them so I can tie them to the wooden clothes horse.
These cyanotypes from drawings I made of elderly women are printed onto pieces of Bockingford paper cut to a Victorian corset pattern and I’ve used eyelets and ribbon to tie them to the wooden clothes horse. I’ve been working on these for ages and it’s been lovely to get away today for a family wedding, my wonderful nephew and his beautiful wife. Top wedding and great food at the Oxwich Bay hotel on the Gower Peninsula. Spectacular scenery despite the torrential rain.

Love the tight cropping on the cyanotypes, gives the faces such focus and strength.
Thank you, they’re pieces cut from a sewing pattern of a Victorian corset.
You look so funny with that huges glasses. 😉 Sounds it was a great wedding. And the location looks so nice, too. Have a lovely day. 😀
It was beautiful, right by the sea. Sad day, just heard about David Bowie 😦
What, he is dead? I hadn’t heard about that yet. This is really a sad day.
Loving that photo… first smile of the day 🙂 You are busy,busy as ever, producing wonderful work..
Thank you Helen 😀
I agree with Michael, those cyanotypes are looking fantastic.

Love the elderly women, Rosie.
Thank you Michael 😀
