Henri Le Sidaner (1862-1939 French) Oooh I’d forgotten about this artist , I used to post his work often as I love it ‘Roses on the House He was a stubborn painter and wouldn’t be pigeonholed for his style and suffered because if it. In the end he was called an Intimist

The embroidery produced by Otomi (Hñähñu) women of Mexico is known as Tenango Embroidery. Created with an "Otomi Stitch", the colourful designs of animals, plants & rural life represent the stories & beliefs of the people who produce this specific form of embroidered expression #EmbroideryWeek #Womensart

NEWS: C20 has supported an application by grassroots campaigners to list the former Central YMCA building on Great Russell Street, London – the site of the world’s first YMCA. Designed by Michael Mulchinet of the Elsworth Sykes Partnership and built between 1971-77, the brutalist Bloomsbury landmark is a colossal and multi-layered  example of a post-war megastructure. c20society.org.uk/news/bloom…

More from cartoonist/illustrator Tom Gauld ~ here, he devises an obviously better way for us to organise our bookshelves. To which I’d add another category for “books I think I borrowed from someone but can’t remember who” tomgauld.com/

Big fan of this hanging (in the @V_and_A) embroidered by nuns in Heiningen, Germany in 1516. It’s a great example of a nun’s theological and classical education on the eve of the Reformation. The name of the prioress ‘D[omi]na Elisabet’ and 58 nuns are embroidered on the piece
