My chance to wonder about hand made things and tell the world about those I make, love and cherish!

An exhibition I hope you wont see.

I have just dropped off 3 pieces of work for an exhibition. i am just hoping that you don't get to see it.
The exhibition that is.

I have made 2 new pieces for it. Both quite large as they are exhibited in a busy place.
No sooner than they met but they looked
No sooner looked but they loved
No sooner loved but they sighed
No sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason
no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy
And in these degrees they have made the steps to a marriage



there is no one in this world
breathing life giving air
whom I desire to love
more than you
I am really pleased with this one but I do hope you don't see them in the exhibition.
I have also sent in this on but you know about that one already



The reason I don't want you to see them?
They are to be exhibited in the Link Corridor in Cheltenham General Hospital.
Its not that its not a good hospital, I wouldn't know really apart from a couple of children's hearing tests but I just hope that you have no reason to be in the hospital.
So if you do get to see them then I hope it distracts for a few minutes and gives you a little space
As with all my pieces I look for words and quote them. Sometimes it requires some basic editing.
I read this one to j
There is no one in this world breathing life giving air whom I desire to love more than you.
He smiled at me and agreed that it was a good one . I told him that I hadn't finished so I continued the quote.
May this farewell, my beloved, sweetly penetrate your inner marrow

No , he said, best to avoid all references to inner marrow if you want it to work.

I agree.

they all look lovely, well done...and without being morbid lots of people go to hospital...so lots of people will see your stitches!

What fabulous pieces and a wonderful place to be shown too. When I last spent time in hospital I had to start walking after a few days and the art was a wonderful distraction.

Yes, I think ones inner marrow is best kept to oneself too - inner squashes and cucumbers too I reckon!

It's been a long time since I visited Cheltenham General, but I can only imagine that your lovely work has added an element of beauty that has cheered up many a visitor. I agree - skip the marrow references...
