Memory Lane



Have just been doing some research into Picasso and Cubism, for some lessons this week. More of a "refresh the memory" tour. Have created some new handouts and OHP transparencies to use . Then looked through some of my photos to see if I could find some suitable images. Came to a full stop when I found these.

The photo, above, from a recent trip, reminded me I was going to create some decorative textiles using these as a source. I thought it could so easily be used for a quilt or applique. The amazing thing about this particular village was the number of houses that were embellished in this way.




I hate having to paint the woodwork on the outside of our house....... If you lived here it would be a certainly be a labour of love!

They were in a small village in the Sauerland in Germany. Amazing they survived the bombing during the war.They were built in the middle ages and have just been renovated to their true colours.
