This is taken at Les Arcs 1800 in France.  Each year there is a Grotte de Glace - an ice cave which is filled with ice sculptures carved by different artists.   I was very taken by this centrepiece of an Earth Mother Goddess that reminded me of the Ice Age Art at the British Museum.

Jackie and Julieanne at Royal Festival Hall, London with the cloth that we have been adding to over the past six months for the TeaSet collaboration.  A man had just walked right across where I was photographing and apparently I was glaring at him....me?  We also attracted the attention of three knitters from the local wool shop in Lower Marsh St that were meeting at the RFH to knit together at lunchtime, so lovely to get feedback from random strangers that are interested in the same stuff.

Managed to get a ticket for the Ice Age Art show at the British Museum last week.  Not too big but plenty of artifacts with fabulous line drawings and a really interesting film of some of the cave paintings in Europe too.  No photography allowed and only 5 postcards to choose from that weren't the best examples (in my opinion) but lovely to see and a shame it wasn't on last year when Jackie and I did the cave art installation for Prism 2012.  Can't wait for the Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibition to open at the end of this month.

These are the members of the TeaSet collaboration Indian-style and based on an embroidery seen at the WEFT show at the Brunei Gallery, London.  From l-r Jackie, Julieanne, Willeke, Julie, Anna and me.  Each carrying her cup for the table with the fabric describing the person (nobody seems to have taken offence so far!)
