Happy International Women's Day ! What better way to celebrate than with this cross stitch still-life found at the Chiswick car boot fair in West London.
"Mandy Prowse studied painting and printmaking at Maidstone College of Art. She explores natural and human forms and the interconnectedness of all things. Themes in her work relate to birth, mortality and metamorphosis. Her altered books are minimalistic and organic combining a modern aesthetic with an almost Victorian touch. If you told me these books were 100 years old I wouldn’t think twice about it.”
Jason Thompson, The Rag and Bone Bindery

What a great find!
Isn't it strange that we should need our own special day....?!
I like that it is world-wide and at least its not a commercial gimmick to sell more cards - hmmm - now there's an idea for next year !
Fantastic buy.
Fun to share this with you today on the other side of the world.
Happy International Women's day to you too.
