Maynard Jackson, where are you when we need you?
Seth brought over his puppy, Maynard, for Camille to watch while he went to work for a few hours.
freaky cute
I like this photo because of the way he is positioned.
The hand gesture sort of shows he is telling someone something, like a teacher, but you can't see where his eyes are looking because of the black contacts, and the white face paint takes away the expression on his face.
The erection of memorials to accident victims on the sides of roads sometimes annoys me. Would it be allowed in a hospital ward where these days a death is more probable? Is permission for the practice creating a biased privilege? Because I'm here posting this image am I just a bad?
Diagonally across from my granny's second last known address is this, her last recorded address not counting her grave. Those details have been collated from a church register and I am forever grateful for the work of volunteers who brought this detail to me. This place means that as alone and destitute as my granny was, she was not forgotten, not wholly alone. This gives me some little comfort. This is, it is said, the place where she died.
Soon I'll leave here, walk down to the corner, cross over both the Tavistock canal and the River Tavy on my way to Plymouth's newer cemetery where she is buried. I won't bring flowers for her. That would be confusing; not for lack of respect but for a quirk of her burial place.
I bought this because of the print and was shocked when I saw the size of the pieces. I even wondered if the pieces could be subdivided, to make them more manageable - to to a chorus of sacrilege from you all. I shall bring it to the next meeting and then some of you will see what I mean!
Handling the large 1/4in thick solid wood pieces felt weird and the image layer is really, really thin (and has sustained quite a lot of damage near the edges and randomly). It was a quick jigsaw to do. The pieces fit reasonably well together (apart from the repairs). A few of the pieces in the upper half no longer lie flat and a couple have toothmarks.
Vintage 86pc The Crossing Sweeper (Pears title 'Pluck - Or Where There's a Will...') by Maynard Brown. 1892 Pears Annual presentation plate. Interlocking edge 31pc, 55pc push-fit centre with some line-cutting. Solid pine wood blank 6mm or 1/4in thick. I replacement & new tab.
The box labelling (not original) states 24x12in but it measures 27x17.4in - more compatible with online information about the plate - 30x20in - printed for the 1892 Pears Annual. Looking at the pieces you can see dotty stippling in the shading around the eyes. The only image I have of the plate is small and I can't tell where the Pears signature should be.
It is currently housed in a plain cardboard box of indeterminate age. It has a recent self-adhesive label on one end and an older label on the top with faded blue writing (and the corner of a third label above that).
