Shelf imitating art
For my birthday last week, an insignificant age celebrated with a massive party (really recommend that), My Friend bought me this lovely coffee table book:
Fully of lovely prints, sketches, inspirational bits, it’s a record of Angie Lewin’s work and covers her nature studies in Norfolk and Scotland. There aren’t many images of her studio spaces in the book – and goodness knows we love a nosy desk shot here – but you can see the artist’s house on her website.
And what the hell, I’ll show you a bit of – dare I call it – still life that I started fashioning on my shelf a few weeks ago, involving an Angie Lewin print I already owned.
Cacti, the only plant suitable for House Plant Killers.
Dear House Planter Killer – At the risk of being deleted due to gratuitous plugging, I very much recommend these http://www.thebalconygardener.com/shop/containers–planters/sky-planters-recycled-range/ which are self-watering. You can’t go wrong !
Lovely Angie Lewin print but I put the question, “Cacti?…….Trend or Travesty?” Squatting like little spikey aliens.
Ha, yes Helen, we did indeed pose this question some time again http://myfriendshouse.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/trend-or-travesty-spiky-specimens/
But as a Plant Killer – and not being quite so freaked by them – I have embraced them. Trend!
Patricia Gill, presumably you actually need to go near these with water at some point self-watering or not? Even that is beyond me sadly.
What a fabulous book. I love it. GG
