If I set forth with one, I prefer mine to be of the squishier and lighter variety.

Your still lifes and wood/linocuts are all super charming. Imagine finding the exact squirrel figurine! I know that market baskets are all the rage, but they are heavy, and I would feel self-conscious carrying one. Since I have to walk quite a distance to any market, I prefer the modern, non-ecological plastic bags.<br />-Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161026132284731386.post-40617668734174877732023-02-28T22:44:58.542+11:002023-02-28T22:44:58.542+11:00Dear Britta, yes, we are simple folk with simple t...Dear Britta, yes, we are simple folk with simple tastes, hahahah! And you are right to think of Japan with the linocuts - the catalogue tells that Spowers & Syme's tutor Claude Flight said in his instructional book of 1927 that he and the early experimenters in linocutting owed their technique to an earlier book on Japanese woodcutting. So there you go!<br /><br />I look forward to Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161026132284731386.post-8444536312671796422023-02-28T19:21:29.236+11:002023-02-28T19:21:29.236+11:00Dear Pip, when I looked at the oysters etc I thoug...Dear Pip, when I looked at the oysters etc I thought of Oscar Wilde: "I have simple taste, only the best." That's it! <br /><br />I'm back from Berlin, that's my excuse for commenting so late. <br /><br />I fell in love with those beautiful linocuts - the one with the umbrellas seems so Japan!

It's very effective and evidently inspired Sybil Andrews.

I was invited to Sunday lunch, but in a fit of madness the mother threw the large joint of roasted Beef, and its accompanying roasted potatoes, out of the kitchen window. Everything was cleaned-up, made to look nice, and served; whilst the mother sat sobbing at the end of the table.
