Busy and not quite 100% and off to babysit tomorrow, so will check in again on Saturday with the rest of the photos from Tewkesbury Abbey. Luna Lapin's dress is nearly finished - just slightly flummoxed over the instructions for making the bow on the front of her dress. May need to bodge it myself!
I finally got to the Library again today, and got a book that Sue in Suffolk will need to add to her lengthy list - My Animals (and other Family) by Phyllida Barstow (A rural childhood 1937 - 1956) and set in the Wye Valley.
Thanks to Sarah in Sussex, I can now attribute the wonderful triptych properly. It was painted showing Jesus Christ, Jerusalem and Tewkesbury, at a cost of £22,000 by Bulgarian Artist Silvia Dimitrova, and took her two years. The link will give more details.
So beautiful. Who painted this and when?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who painted this or when, as no details given in the guide book. I can see I missed some of the details - like his head pictured in a roof boss.
DeleteThat is a good book...ages since I read it...nice to have a memory jog!
ReplyDeleteWell, it is in my pile to read! Still working my way through the last few JD Kirks which my friend sent me. Held to ransom a bit by those
DeleteWhat a lovely painting in the chapel.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Indeed. There were so many interesting things to see.
DeleteI have only been to one abbey at Dorchester not far from me
ReplyDeleteTewkesbury looks huge and about as far from me as it is to you, looks interesting to visit
They are well worth visiting, whether they are ruined or like this one, still all in one piece. I will try to get to Worcester cathedral soon. Not this Malvern Fair though, as there's an Open Garden I want to visit near me on the way back.
DeleteOh gosh, don't give Sue anymore to add to her list, she'll be going bankrupt. 😄
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Sue will try and get lots via the Library.
DeleteI've got it already!! And definitely not buying many or even any (yet) from Mikis long list!!
ReplyDeleteAh, well that is one less to source then.
DeleteYou should write your own about you and Colin and your smallholding, and doing up houses.
DeleteI must look at the bow in your photos and see if I can offer help as I used to be quite good with bows.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a photo later and put it up. Thanks for your offer of advice.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by Bunny's bow issue, how complicated could it be? I found only one pic of a bow, looked like tubular bias, stitch, turn, press. Belt part is separate? Rem it is a child's toy! Last doll dress I made a mistake on the back closure, and had no time to corect it; the child didn't notice a thing wrong. Show us a pic plus directions?
