Publication: Francis Bedford, The Treasury of Ornamental Art, Day & Sons, London, 1857

Other Collections: Royal Collection Trust

Provenance:

Notes: Francis Bedford was best known for his photographs, but his first known works are lithographs and architectural drawings exhibited at the Royal Academy in the 1840s. He became widely regarded as a master of the chromo-lithographic process. He turned exclusively to photography, with the intent to aid himself in his lithographic work, around 1851. His book, The Treasury of Ornamental Art (1858), has been described as "probably the first important English work where photography was called into play to assist the draughtsman." Bedford began to pursue the creative aspects of photography as well. He received three commissions from Queen Victoria, the most important being the official photographer to the Prince of Wales' tour of the Middle East in 1862. Prince Albert and Queen Victoria played a leading role in supporting England's arts, sciences, and manufacturing with their patronage. In 1854 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert commissioned Bedford to photograph art objects in the Royal Collection...a huge task. Bedford, who had taken up photography as a tool for accurate rendering of objects, soon began to investigate its creative aspects, and this led him to taking landscape pictures. He received many commissions from the Queen and Prince to travel and take pictures of certain places. He excelled in the craft.

Objects of Desire: Surrealism and Design 1924-Today

(October 2022 – February 2023)

Delve into the dreamlike relationship between Surrealism and design in this century spanning celebration of Surrealist objects of desire.

Curated with Vitra Design Museum, the exhibition explores design from the birth of surrealism in 1924 to the current day; spanning classic Surrealist works of art and design as well as contemporary Surrealist responses. 

The exhibition uncovers how one of the 20th century's most influential movements came to impact design through its questioning of the conventional and its commitment to exploring the mind, unconscious and mystical. 

It brings together the best in Surrealist design, from furniture, interior design, fashion, photography and world-renowned artworks from Surrealist pioneers such as Salvador Dalí, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Leonora Carrington and Lee Miller, through to contemporary artists and designs, such as Schiaparelli, Dior, Björk.  

The result is an exhibition filled with playful, curious and poetic objects that uncover the rich history of Surrealism and its fascinating influence on design.

A Truman Capote Reader

I left Manchester in the Autumn of 1990 and this somehow found its way into a box of books that moved with me.

I kept telling myself that I would send it on to the library with a note of apology but never got around to it.

I love this book.

I still feel guilty.

The cover shot of Truman is by cartier Bresson

I composed this picture to show the reflection of the subject. It is interesting to me because it reminds me of a mirror and how it reflects things. I wanted the viewer to think about who they are and if their reflection reflects their view of themselves. I took this picture with a shutter speed that would not darken the yellow.

Students arranging and photographing their own personal everyday objects

Found an old set of road wheels next to a public trash receptacle. They were in bad shape including the Shimano 105 hubs. The front hub was seized up with rust, wouldn't even turn. The rear hub wasn't in much better shape. But I scored two good old style Shimano skewers.

6th Grade: Oil Pastels

Themed wall art sets are a great addition to common areas; they are bright, inspiring and liven any space.

~Project Details~

Pattern: Random Ankle Socks (off the internet)

Needles: Knit Picks US2

Yarn: Sockotta – Shades of Purple, Color #26

Cost: $8.50 (less than 1 ball - lots of yarn for booties!)

Size: 7/8

For: Nobody - they were practice socks! They will now be dust rags! LOL

Time: My motto – As long as you make it. Simple socks (ankle socks go fast!)

Modifications: None. I did magic loop (ML) even though the pattern was written for DPNs, so the instructions were reinterpreted for the ML method.

What I learned: How to ML!! Definitely have the hang of it now!

Verdict: Mmmh I would never use this pattern or yarn again. The sock was made in my size but the heel flap was too long (so I would shorten it) and the foot was not snug enough = too dang big. But I was just so excited about doing my 1st pair of socks!

I wanted to do something simple and easy since I knew I was going to be doing ML. It was a struggle to translate the pattern in the beginning, and I wish I didn’t wait as long to start on the 2nd one because obviously I forgot what the heck I did! LOL SSS Disease is real! And the only cure is to just plow thru the next one. :o) (which you may not want to do since I made so many mistakes! :op LOL)

As for the yarn I like Sockotta, but not for this pattern. I really like yarn that has some “cush” to it…not feeling it with Sockotta, so Cascade Fixation is still on my list for ankle socks.

Overall, not a perfect fit (or socks for that matter) but I am glad I did them! :o)
