RWA Bristol<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">More advantages to Bristol being European Green Capital include exhibitions at the RWA linked into the natural landscape in the local area: James Ravilious- Rural Life photography.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The photographs were all taken of rural life and landscapes in North Devon during the 1970s and 1980s, and on first view you'd think you were in the 1940s or 1950s, as they were taken on the brink of industrialised farming in the area. They are warm and beautifully composed. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since studying Biology A level in the 80s and being fixated on the drawings in the Roberts text books, I'm always in awe of nature and forms. In this exhibition <a href="http://www.katemccgwire.com/">Kate MccGwire</a> uses collected and preserved feathers to create beautiful sculptures. See for yourself...</span><br />

Make rhubarb ketchup<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rhubarb is the best thing to have in your garden - it grows what ever the weather and without your attention. When you've had your fill of rhubarb crumble make this lush ketchup. Mine looked mucky but tastes delicious!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The recipe I used can be found <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/may/16/how-to-make-rhubarb-ketchup-recipe">here</a>. Play around with the flavours - add some chilli to spice it up. So easy to make.</span><br />

recently took part in a brilliant community event in North Bristol called
<a href="https://windowwanderland.wordpress.com/">Window Wanderland</a>, created by Lucy Reeves, the inspiration for this project.
The aim of the project was to shine light on a dark February night, by
decorating, illuminating, jazzing up your front window and getting the local
community out to mingle and view the window creations. I loved the night – we
built in a tea break at <a href="http://www.bostonteaparty.co.uk/our_cafes/bristol-gloucester-road.php">Boston Tea Party</a> and I had a hot water bottle to cuddle up to to
keep me warm. we meet old neighbours and new and it was a really busy socialbel evening. Some used as an opprotunity to raise funds for a local charity - see WW website for details. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

spent time planning and working out what I wanted to do, made sure I kept out
some Christmas lights and paced myself with all the intricate cutting that I’d
set myself to do. I went for a woodland theme, with the characters of Red
Riding Hood taking central stage.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Baron of Bristol was a
man of power. He collected taxes from the hardworking Bristolians, ran the
competition which saw Brunel build a bridge across the gorge and pulled the
train track builders to Bristol to help us trade with lands near and far. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One thing that left him
troubled & powerless were his 12 daughters. He loved them dearly…but they
were bright, intelligent and wilful and he feared that the rest of the world
would think him weak for not having better control over his girls, so at night,
he locked them in a fortified chamber with a golden key which he hung around
his neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">One morning, the Baron
unlocked the chamber to find that his daughters’ shoes were in tatters; soles
loose, embroidery ruined and seams broken open. It was as if they had danced
the night away! But how? The chamber was locked! They were wilful and kept
their secret. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This enraged the Baron so he
set a challenge, find his daughters’ secret. Many young men tried & failed
& were banished to far away lands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The hopeful men spent the
night in a chamber adjoining the bedroom, which was lined with 12 beds and 12
sleeping daughters, and despite their attempts to stay awake, the men slept
soundly and woke to find 12 pairs of tattered shoes and the secret intact. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In a local Tavern, The Three
Sugar Loaves, a penniless and hopeful Scottish shipbuilder, who lived on
Christmas Steps, heard about the Baron and his 12 daughters. He loved nothing
better than to solve a problem and needed the cash reward to help finance his
dream of opening a shipyard, in the docks of Bristol. The landlady of The Three
Sugar Loaves handed a parcel to the young man, and whispered in his ear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">‘Do not drink the wine the
girls offer you, it contains a sleeping potion . Wear this invisibility cloak
& follow them closely.’ Bright girls, he thought to himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">That night the young
shipbuilder was welcomed by the Baron of Bristol to his home, a grand house on
Victoria Square. He tipped the wine into the chamber pot, bade goodnight to the
girls, got the cloak ready and faked sweet slumber.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">‘He’s asleep’, he heard one
of the girls whisper. His ears alert, eyes ready to follow the girls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">He saw them lift a tapestry
and walk down a secret stairwell and enter the Underfall, the world under the
streets of Bristol. They walked into a blue forest with trees fashioned from
glass, he grabbed a blue orb from a tree and pulled it under his cloak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The daughters glided in
gondoliers across a silver lake and arrived at a palace. From the safety of his
cloak he watched each girl engage in lively conversation with 12 young men. He
listened to their conversations about travel, steam engines, engineering,
politics and the poor and watched their faces drop. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">‘No one wants to listen to
us and our ideas’, one sighed. The night was young and girls not wanting to
waste the beautiful music from the band, danced until their shoes were in
tatters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">He followed them for two
more nights. Everything happened as it had before. The shipbuilder brought back
with him a gondolier’s hat and dipped a jar into the silver lake to bring back
some of the magical water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On the third morning the
Baron called the shipbuilder and his 12 daughters to his study, it was a bit of
a squeeze! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">‘Well?’, he questioned the
young man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">‘You lock away in the
chamber each night the future of our city; the engineers, the social reformers,
the doctors and explorers.’ With this he placed on the Baron’s desk the blue
glass orb, the gondoliers hat and the jar of silvery water. The girls were
shocked, their secret had been uncovered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">‘What you can not see is
that your bright, intelligent and wilful daughters are a blessing to you and
our world. Throw away that key and do everything you can to let them shine’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Baron heard for himself,
for the first time, that his daughters were jewels and that by being bright,
intelligent and wilful they would change the world and that he needed to
celebrate their gifts, not fear them or how others thought about him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The shipbuilder<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>took his reward and invested in his
passion, shipbuilding, and in memory of his nights with the Baron’s daughters
he called it The Underfall Yard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">This story was re-worked by Alli Tillcock<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In the original story of the
12 Dancing Princesses, whilst I admire the princesses for being able to trick
each spy and escape into a fantasy world, I think that the reward (one of the
Princesses is married off to the man who discovers their secret) treats them as
objects to be married off, which they most definitely are not! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I wanted to place the story
in a time of change for Bristol and reflect it’s industrial heritage in the
story. Would the world have been different if Brunel was a woman? Discuss…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Being creative with words
and fabric are really important to me, and <a href="http://flo-joboutique.co.uk/">Flo-Jo’s</a> being here on the
Gloucester Road is like a jewel. I love the idea that behind the things we make
with our hands that there’s a story, some flow and we can take time out from
our busy lives and relax, stitch, chat & create. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I saw this top that one user had shared - here's a link to her blog <a href="http://fancytiger.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/jaimes-nani-iro-nuance-t-shirt.html">http://fancytiger.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/jaimes-nani-iro-nuance-t-shirt.html</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can download the pattern plan<a href="http://naniiro.jp/textile/pattern-making/pm2013"> here</a> and away you go!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decided to add a tighter panel around the hem of the tops to make them snug rather than floaty. As the 'summer' we are currently having is a chilly one, I'm wearing my skintight long sleeve tops under them!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well the gorgeous Teddy got his 'welcome new baby' picture at the ripe old age of 4 months old! I really enjoyed making this picture and thought I'd share the process with you, if you are interested in trying something like it your self.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The skills/materials used are:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- machine applique</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- stash of fabrics - I've got plenty!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- using invisible stitching</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- hand embroidery</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- using 'doublesided' Bondaweb - holds fabric securely in place while you stitch around it</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- fabric ink</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fun-Practical-Seas-Stamp-Set/dp/B0006TLDNI">letter stamping kit</a> - I use this one loads</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1) The main picture of the elephant came from a Selvedge Magazine flyer. I drew the image to scale and then cut out each individual piece as a pattern piece. I choose my fabrics and attached Bondaweb to each piece, drew around the pattern piece and then ironed the pieces on to the elephant.</span><br />
