Framed

I got my two pictures back from the framer this morning. They will sit on this shelf with my brother's pot until I get them hung on the wall.

Little Etchings

I'm taking these in for framing tomorrow. Only been meaning to do so since I purchased them in, um, 1998 (!!!)

Plastic Fantastic

Went to see the Design and Making exhibition at the Castle this afternoon... varied and interesting. I'm not entirely sure what this display of plastic containers was all about, but I found it visually appealing.

~  A year ago today I was happy to see my cats ~ 

Unwoven

I just love this sculpture. Wish I could see it in real life. Instead I'll have to be content to look at lots and lots of pictures of it online. Amazing!

Black & White

Went down to the National Gallery to see an exhibition of photographs by George Hallett this afternoon. It was really interesting!

Romanesque

I think my favourite church in Florence is San Miniato on the Mount. Was well worth the climb up the hill to see it today.
