1925-1985 Women of the Avant Garde

Eileen Agar.  Claude Cahun. Leonora Carrington.  Suzanne Césaire.  LiseDeharme.  Marcelle Ferry. Léonor Fini. Valentine Hugo. Frida Kahlo. Nelly Kaplan. Mariam van Hirtum. Jacqueline Lamba.  Mary Low.  Dora Maar.  Lee Miller.  Nora Mitrani. Joyce Mansour. Meret Oppenheim,  Mimi Parent. Valentine Penrose.  Kay Sage.  Toyen. Remedios Varo. Unica Zürn.  Bonna.  Emmy Bridgwater.  Hannah Höch.  Annie Lebrun. Gisèle Prassinos. Alice Rahon. Edith Rimmington. Dorothea Tanning. 

This list interests me for several reasons. One, it contains many names of artists I do not know... not surprising, but also it has omitted several important ones that should be included.

I shall explore the ones I do not know first on these pages e.g. Edith Rimmington, Nora Mitrani, Marcelle Ferry... Kati Horna is an omission as is Ilse Weber.

I found it through a book on this period and women's art.

Happy New Year!

ICICLES

Been thinking about this image for a Solstice card this year. Need some sunlight I think!

LUNA

This is Luna my beloved feline companion. We are so very close it is absolutely amazing to me. The connection is so strong and goes over and beyond what I ever imagined between two beings of separate species. Look at her eyes! This is a bit close-up this photo. Her face is actually quite dainty.
I am so in love with her and her special being. To Luna with love.

View from kitchen window today!

It is so magical with these bars of stalactites or icicles to look through onto trees and snow.

Snowfall continues

This magical winter wonderland all white and quiet.

I am so happy to be back on DJANG writing and sharing again.
I took a hiatus for under a year due to some uncomfortable feedback.
It dried me up completely. Felt somehow too censored, and that is not what this was ever about.
DJANG was always about sharing and if you as a reader want to, you can read it and if you don't, don't.

I am posting some more pictures of Tarset and Sheep Cottage since the more recent snowfall.

Snovember 2010

Earlier than usual we have our First Snow in Northumberland, well in large parts of the British isles actually.
Here is Sheep Cottage in the First Snow of the winter looking all Christmassy!
We are warm and cosy indoors with the cats, while the cars are snowed in, but we have plenty of provisions and a vegetable curry I made for supper.
