Sonia Delaunay and avant-garde pattern

Sonia Delaunay was part of the avant-garde movement during the 1920s and 1930s producing textiles, surface patterns and prints. Just beautiful - would love an exhibition to come to London soon. Much of her work was commissioned by the Dutch department store Metz who are now owned by Liberty's. Hopefully Liberty's still produce some of these designs.

These images are taken from Colour Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay, published by Thames & Hudson.

Sienna cathedral - a photo composite

Here is a photo composite I did of Sienna Cathedral when we visited there in May 2011. It's not perfect but I like it a lot. I really love the distorted dimensions you get with composites and how not every join fits perfectly together. Want to do some more of these; another thing to add to my list of things to do in 2012.

Arkitip geometric cover

This cover of the Los Angeles-based art magazine Arkitip pleases me so much. Once I have saved up for the postage or a flight to LA I am definitely going to pick up one of these for myself, even if it is for the cover alone.

Coming soon

Another weekend, another...

This Saturday we will be at the We Make Christmas Fair at the Battersea Arts Centre in Clapham. There will be over 80 sellers and I think it is going to be something special.

Then on Sunday we'll be at the Rushmore Road Primary School market on Chatsworth Road.

In addition to this bhmakes is having an open studio along with the other people in her yard. There will be a party with mince pies and mulled wine on Thursday night and a studio shop/drop-in for the rest of the weekend. There is some really interesting and beautiful work coming out of there so if you get the opportunity you should definitely try to make it.

This weekend coming...

 

BHMakes and I are going to be at the Of Cabbages and Kings Market on Saturday at Abney Hall, Stoke Newington Church Street, also at Craft Guerrilla Christmas Fair, Vestry House Museum, Walthamstow.

Sunday we will be at the Wonderhill pop-up at Keston Lodge, Upper Street, Islington and the Sunday Morning Market at Rushmore School, Chatsworth Road, Homerton!

Come and see us!

This weekend

This weekend the Christmas market's start...

Tomorrow (Saturday) bhmakes and myself will be at the Wonderhill market at The Miller in London Bridge.

Then on Sunday we, along with Sanna Panda, will be at the Got Craft market in Tooting.

If you're in the south London over the weekend, come and say hi, and buy some hand made craft goodness.

Pinhole photos

I was given a pinhole camera kit for a birthday present and have loved using it ever since. I like how basic it is, essentially you lift a tab which exposes the film via a tiny hole in a piece of acetate. The experimenting I have done so far has produced some interesting results.

Timothy Information Limited

I have been aware of his work for a little while but I totally fell in love with his machines that do nothing at the recent Dialogue 11 exhibition at Lo & Behold in Brick Lane.
