It is a BIG subject and I am approaching it gently, thoughtfully and quietly. I wonder too if David Jones might be represented, so to speak. I think it will be a remarkable exhibition, shame we won't be able to get there...Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-13030142245842996922014-03-23T18:30:13.932+10:002014-03-23T18:30:13.932+10:00Thanks Anna - I am liking the poppies with the emb...Thanks Anna - I am liking the poppies with the embossing too - i also like the silhouette of the poppies rather than a full drawing.

I wonder if there will be much calligraphic evidence of David Jones in response to the call given his war poetry? I can recommend 'Scars Upon my Heart' edited by Catherine Reilly, a lovely anthology of women's poetry from WW1.LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-42129682066819056642014-03-19T06:17:02.336+10:002014-03-19T06:17:02.336+10:00Very interesting to see your ideas, love the poppi...Very interesting to see your ideas, love the poppies combined with the embossing.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989624921423448745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-5725239399582289052014-03-18T20:58:52.073+10:002014-03-18T20:58:52.073+10:00Thanks Gina, I am really enjoying the quiet explor...Thanks Gina, I am really enjoying the quiet exploration, trying this out, then that…with no goals in mind or requirements.

It is a bit intriguing to try and discover what people did all those years ago, where they went etc. I accidentally discovered my gr-grandfather had won a significant medal, and then I started researching and got quite hooked!Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-18360473404648349472014-03-18T20:13:00.618+10:002014-03-18T20:13:00.618+10:00I love your stitched piece Fiona.
