and here, in what I've decided to call Winter Star-with 7 moons, I've added two birds, one to be seen immediately, I might add more colours to the inner bird; |

Hi Saskia,
You live not far from one of the best collections of Medieval Manuscripts in the world at the National Library of the Netherlands
http://www.kb.nl/en/web-exhibitions/highlights-from-medieval-manuscripts/contents
and have you read Rima Staines dissertation on Marginal Medieval Art -
http://misrulemockerymonstrosity.blogspot.com.au/
wonderful stuff!
I love the picture where so many things intersect -- (including a tapestry fabric that covers my dining room chairs (the swan fabric))! Somehow things that 'shouldn't belong' are made kin by your placement.
hi Mo, thanks for the links, to be honest I had no idea that the KB in the Hague has this collection; I've 'popped' by after your comment and seen one can virtually vist the exhibitions, now I'm interested to find out how I could see the books for real....
I'll certainly go and visit Rima Staines' blog as well, thanks again.
hello Dee: yes I'm aware of my 'need' to make things work together that 'normally' don't...I think I try to do that in the rest of my life as well, nothing is a given
I think this piece is coming along wonderfully. The hidden chick is very appropriate for spring, and perhaps has more going on symbolically - something hidden within you that is waiting to be seen?
Heather: chick announcing spring, now that is a cheerful thought; and something hidden within: I'ld like that very much
