Gosh I certainly missed the Egyptian Library. Lovely, colourful piece. All that hand stitching on the dress works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI cant see the picture! Am I the only one??
ReplyDeleteLove the use of colour on the brickwork which brings it to life. Very clever adding the figure as well which certainly adds interest to your piece. You have certainly brought the outer building to life. A lovely piece of work and your colours are great.
ReplyDeleteI looked at this library but couldn't move beyond the patchwork pattern on the roof. I think I prefer your version of the wall to the original!
ReplyDeleteSo odd, I can only see the picture by scrolling down as it doesn't appear in my list of posts during November. The colours really stand out on this, and I love all the stitching. Great idea to use such an early library.
ReplyDeleteI very nearly chose the iconic library in Alexandria. I went there years ago, when every other library I had ever seen was the size of a small semi detached house - it blew my mind! I love your piece. It reminded me of my visit.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of library and the end result. I imagine you would have enjoyed finding out the significance of the heiroglyphics. Have you visited that library?
