Kelvingrove Museum


A few photo's from Kelvingrove Museum, I've been quite a few times but have not noticed the gallery showing the Tartans before. 



This is a piece of fabric from St Kilda


A lovely tartan jacket from the 1800's


This was a beautiful sleeve detail


And a rather gorgeous waistcoat front

Rather nice tartan buttons

Rothesay

I thought I'd add a couple of photo's from Etterick Bay on the Isle of Bute, such a lovely day






Verdigris 2

I'm continuing with the verdigris theme for my final project; looking at the organic shapes created when copper is covered with this blue green crust but still getting glimpses of the copper beneath. 

Warping up - chaos but for once I'm in control, honest !!
