Just once a year we are directly under a flight path… for #Glastonbury. Almost non stop this morning. I like it: everyone going to make or enjoy #music. I wonder who was/were in that one just now.
'Sphere of Good and of Spiritual Renaissance' by contemporary Ukrainian artist Oksana Mas. Based on Pysanka, a Ukrainian female led custom of decorating eggs with specific colours and symbols, which are given as gifts at Easter time #WomensArt
Setting-up the loom is never a chore, but for certain work, takes time. These colours are hand-dyed for Bards, Ovates and Druids Tartan #handwoventextiles #artisanmade #noplastic #mhhsbd #springwear
Sometimes I fantasise about being a judge for @TheBookerPrizes and if I were then this would be my choice this year. Rich as #christmaspudding (if the cook had put in shrapnel instead of sixpenny pieces). Thanks @simontrewin for sending. #Prophetsong @paullynchwriter
How beautiful is this! The #paperback version of #Fabric arrived from @ProfileBooks - and the lovely surprise for me is how it looks as if a swatch of bright cloth is escaping from between the covers. Launches this Thursday!
Nine-year-old Elizabeth Ginger worked this nearly symmetrical sampler in 1735. Amongst birds, dogs, squirrels, flowers, strawberries, and a lion and unicorn are the First Commandment and the Lord's Prayer. Framing Elizabeth's biographical information are angels holding a crown
Breaking News! My series about Mannerism - art's wildest movement - is starting on Sky Arts on January 30. I've been filming it for two years. And - of course - there's lots of Pontormo in it. Lots and lots! I'm excited! #WaldyIsBackOnTheTelly #Mannerism
The first frost has etched itself across the fields, draining colour from the landscape so that it is an eery shadow of itself in early morning light. This #1860s gown appears to have been touched with a frosted finger, like the Snow Queen, an icy, silky figure @madparisfr
Just randomly: be-gyllan pronounced like be-yell-an is to cry out; he melody of a swan’s wings (swane’s fethre) was said to be the most beautiful; mist-glom is the darkness caused by mist. Beacen (beacon presumably) was a sign, or portent; Christmas gifts for freonds sorted.
Oh beautiful! @hanavideen’s #TheDeorHord has just arrived from @ProfileBooks and I’m captivated. I wish I’d had this when I studied Old English at #standrews. But more than that, it’s just plain fascinating for anyone who speaks English.

Painting at Bedtime. In the Cafe. Gotthardt Kuehl. This painting is sometimes called 'Lovers in a Cafe', but I can't tell if the lady is just wearing black, or if she is in mourning. Anyone know? Kuehl was an important figure, from Lubeck, in the German Impressionist movement.
This is a LOT! Just in these few square inches of gown, there are so many different fabrics, patterns & techniques. I love the complexity of the #1880s, the sense of ingenuity stitched into the very seams of dresses like this, unexpected angles, fastenings and colours @metmuseum
