Beautiful work sculptures Nicola Hicks (UK) - born 1960. Animals are her primary subject matter, usually sculpted in straw and plaster.
I'm also happily joining Ginny and the gang over at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along. It's been a while, I know. Busy times. It always strikes me as ironic that when I've got lots of work going on and much to share here, there's no time to post! But I do want to share the small pieces I've been working on and will over these next weeks. But first, back in Brittany, I knitted up another gnome for school while we were roving around, stealing little moments here and there in between digging in the sand with smallie, and savouring a few small windows of quiet time when the lads went off on some adventure of their own. One of my followers asked to see what these knitted gnomes look like when they're all knitted up, but before seaming and stuffing. Pretty funny, is the answer ; ) especially if you're using handspun wool! In as much as I can these days I'm trying to work from whatever scraps I can find left over from other projects. And tucked into our awning on a rainy Breton day, the lads started carving. Smallie wanted to make a digging tool for the beach We whizzed through all kinds of terrain on our bikes and one small boy showed me that alas, he is not so small anymore but big, and brave. I left all my deadlines and worries at home, relishing the absence of computers and mobile phones... we never knew what time it was and every now and then wondered what day it was. I even got to draw : ) And I put the finishing touches to the gnome once we got home. Doing some leather work for him now, I want to make him a tool belt : ) or maybe a knife sheath..and want to explore what the children might be able to make for their gnomes from wool, wood and leather. I'm really having fun with this part. I keep thinking maybe they need a knitted fox friend too! You can see the first post on our trip to France here. And read about the first knitted gnome here. Looking forward to catching up with what you've all been up to out there. Thanking you for your visit x M
The church was severely damaged in the Blitz of 1941. Wren's tower and steeple survived the bombs' impact. Of the rest of the church only the north and south walls remained. In the re-organisation of the Anglican Church in London following the War it was decided not to rebuild St Dunstan's, and in 1967 the City of London Corporation decided to turn the ruins of the church into a public garden, which opened in 1971. A lawn and trees were planted in the ruins, with a low fountain in the middle of the nave.

Some motifs appear again and again in the decorative arts of the Arts & Crafts movement and its revival. Most of these designs come to us from Nature. Some motifs are ancient, others exotic. Often they have symbolic significance.

Figures are subsumed in textured paint that drifts over the horizon like a thick fog in Federico Infante's mysterious configurations of oils on canvas. Infante begins by working with the background, layering different pigments in an intuitive process that yields unique hues of taupe and dusky blue. But despite their abstract nature, Infante's paintings reveal a narrative quality within his careful selection of figurative details.
