Who Can Resist Another Bug House

Rural Bughouse
Loved this bug house out in the open country at Brockhampton. Wonder if there is an old lady living in the shoe?

Shed Upmanship
Wondered if your DH could produce one of these? It was a restored rotating Summer House at the Reclamation Yard in Rotherwas, Hereford. It was awesome. Afraid it was absolutely pouring down at the time I took the Photos!!

Is this one-upmanship ?
This one is camouflaging a water point in Harlow Carr gardens - tap is bottom right and I've made the pic xlarge so you can see the sempervivums growing on the roof !

The Dark Self
Yesterday I went to see The Dark Self exhibition which included a collaborative display of embroidered pillowcases titled '1001 nights 'worked by volunteer embroiderers across the country -one of whom was me !
The exhibition by artist Susan Aldworth, Artist in Residence at the University of York, explored the experience of sleep and invited viewers to reflect on their own experience. Her work encompassed experimental print, sculpture and film with the collaborative work hanging centrally from the roof of the exhibition space, a former church in the centre of York. The link between all the elements was the pillowcase. I felt that my own piece was a little 'off kilter' - I hadn't really understood the brief - but was elated to feel part of the whole. I was hugely moved by some of the contributions and loved the porcelain pillows, part of the Artist's work which expressed sleep through the imprint of heads - the negative space evoking how sleep leaves its mark on space, as on the imprint of the antique pillowcases used as print blocks in her other work.
sadly, I neglected to take a pic of the porcelaine pillows - I will rectify that when I visit again, which I surely will.
