Paintings, drawings, sculpture and writing
Inspired by the little coat hook in my last post, I drew up this design for wallpaper, printed out in dark grey on cream paper ready for a young girl, or boy to colour-in as they choose. (Demo colouring by me)
I think my six year old self would have loved it!
I took this photo of this in a friends house, it is a design based on inches, feet and yards, what’s missing from the photo are two stripes of a tape measure, one above, one below. It’s been printed on a linen handkerchief. Such an elegant and joyful representation of imperial units, his designs are so individual. His canon of work is relatively small, he died so young(lost at sea1942)

This is the fabric from my family’s bookcase, in a green version. It’s not in such good condition as the pink version, the background is yellowed with age and some squares where the dye has rotted the fabric, notably the red squares.
A friend gave me this for Christmas, happy nostalgic memories of a curtain we had over a bookcase in the family home, that was in a green colourway, I am off to look for it.
