A light goes out

Deeply saddened to hear the news that Julia Caprara, who founded the Opus School of Textile Arts with her husband Alex, died from cancer on 24 October.

I met her a couple of years ago at the Prism exhibition in London. She bubbled with passion and enthusiasm. She was working on her book, Exploring Colour.

A light has gone out. Condolences to her husband Alex and all her family and friends.

Now for something completely different. Lynn Robert's Molly Chicken blog is a delight.

Jeanette Appleton

OK, I'm getting clever now, that was my first link. Here is another one to Jeanette Appleton who makes beautiful felt hangings inspired by landscape.

Inspired by Francis Pickering at our Guild meeting.

She makes beautiful books using the simplest of materials. Lining paper, calico, found objects, hand and machine stitch.
