Today I’ve really done art in a big way
Grayson Perry ✔️
Leigh Bowery ✔️
Electric Dreams Exhibit ✔️
A commission by Grayson Perry to have one of his ceramic masks made into a knights helmet. The result is a brushed grey mental face with golden eyelashes, ears and stylised crown. Entitled something like the sissy’s bridle Yellow ceramic vase with a bulbous body and slender neck. Decorated in dark blue cartoonish regency style ladies and gents, professing their wealth Leigh Bowery - outrageous costumes on mannequins. All are sparking and have tight fitting masks and gloves Moving Sculpture on a tripod. Reminiscent of a Mattisse mobile with silver mental half and quarter discs, casting a weblike silhouette on the floor and wall

Thus Love at Ramsgate Music Hall was epic. Last night of the tour and they were in a jubilant and celebratory mood #ThusLove #RamsgateMusicHall
The band lined up and orderly at the beginning of the set The singer is playing his guitar and singing into the microphone The singer and bass guitarist lean against each other, their backs are arched and necks of their guitars are pointed upwards Chaos at the end, the guitarist is between the second guitarists legs on his knees singing, the bass player has joined the audience. Moments later they were dancing

Saw Squid tonight in Margate, they were exceptional but the crowd was not. So much talking during the set. I can’t get my head around why you’d do that! #Rude

Two days and brilliant nights in Brighton and now it’s the weekend! 🙌🏻
Big love to Bella Union and @mrsimonraymonde.bsky.social

Excited to have seen two of my favourites - Plantoid and BC Camplight and a host of new bands too.

#SupportLiveMusic especially in grass roots venues
BC Camplight sits at the piano in a hat talking into the microphone and making eye contact with his audience. The background is lit blue and his name is projected in red onto the blue BC Camplight sings last rotation of earth, seated at his piano. A digital image of earth is projected behind him. In the image his eyes are unfocused, he sings into the microphone. Plantoid are on stage as a five piece band. There are two guitarists. One is male and one is female. The percussionist (left), from the band Luxjury, moves constantly and he is enthusiastic. The bass guitarist (right) and drummer (back) look like they’re in the zone. The singer with her guitar is centre and of the stage. Deary are a four piece band. The singer (centre) has a beautiful fender style guitar with unusual headstock and bigsby. The second guitarist (left) plays a left hand fender. The bass guitarist (right) and drummer (back) look focused

Blimey, that was a great weekend for music.
John Grant at the De La Warr in Bexhill on Friday evening - simply sublime.

I found an excellent tree the other day. I think it was trying to do forest camouflage but in an urban environment. I thought it was so beautiful that I took a picture of its camouflage

I like them too…
Outside the ‘old’ light house at Dungeness from the bottom. The image depicts a tube-like building painted back, with a series of inset white framed windows The old lighthouse Dungeness depicted in an industrial type landscape with electricity piling and a nuclear power station beside it. In the foreground is an empty car park, some picnic tables and a painted sign that states “the Britannia inn”

Currently in one of my happy places. Cheers 🍺 #TwelveTaps

I think we could revisit annually & never see everything. But hope to go back in late spring/early summer for another 5 nights & take in some more museums, galleries & site seeing. I fancied the Liminanas in April but I don’t think we’ll manage to get there so soon. The art deco venue looks ace tho!

A concrete block of apartments from the time of the GDR. To the left of the building is a colourful mural depicting a worker. In front of the building is a line of trees and in front of that a series of balustrades to prevent people falling into a river, which can’t be seen.

A great night at Where Else Margate watching BC Camplight. As always I’m left with a sense of the humour and heartbreak. Thoroughly entertained and reminded of his incredible talent

Today was about self care, so I walked across the fields, did crafting and ate out at lunchtime. All with my best friend and so much laughter

Today I made a saucy gothic faerie. I’m itching to make her a hat and cane too.

#GothicNotGoth #Faerie #Fairy #Felting
The image shows a red headed felted faerie with green, purple and grey wings. She has a purple choker and lots of cleavage on show. Her dress is black and flowing with red and purple accents. She has a purple flower in her hair and has been made using the felting technique

Loving your work. I embroidered and decorated a handkerchief as part of an open call. We were asked to be angry and sweary.
A decorated and embroidered handkerchief depicting phrases and findings from the inquiry report. The major message is that people are still f***king ignored. This relates to a cladding risk warning for 25 years, that also affects other apartment blocks around the UK

People seem interested in my embroidery journey. This is the one that started it all. We have a local profanity embroidery group, they put out an open call for embroidered pillow cases with theme of rest. My response (part of a triptych with friends). Discovered I’m quite patient. #embroidery
An image in felt and cloth showing a sleeping woman’s face. The words around the head say, I love a good sleep, fuck my hormone inferno. Above the head is a flushometer. The gradients are cool, toasty, torrid, sizzling and satan’s arse

Early in my transition from the place that rhymes with hex, to 🦋 I encountered the talented & inspiring @stonkers.bsky.social Unwittingly she gave me a New Year’s resolution (the only one I’ve ever managed to retain beyond 6wks). Each day I embroider a symbol or image. #pizzalike #embroidery

Just back from seeing Dana Gavanski and Katy J Pearson at the #Lido in Margz #Margate Not a bad way to spend a Monday evening to be honest!
An ‘iconic’ concrete chimney with a glowing orange octagonal light at its tip. The word LIDO is light up on each side. The picture is taken at night, so beyond the ‘icon’ are streetlights, houses and possibly out at sea to the icon’s right is a lit up cargo ship or perhaps it’s the lights on the London array wind farm! Dana stands on stage alone, singing into a microphone. She is playing a red guitar resembling a Gibson ES 355 A picture of Katy J singing into a microphone on stage. She is playing a fender acousticaster and singing. It’s not. Great picture as there are audience heads between the viewer and the stage

They really always have a brilliant selection. The Christmas shop is pretty splendid too.

What a great selection of beers. Sadly I’m gluten free so don’t have a choice. Good thing I’m a fan of Left Handed Giant
