Shiny! but in a good way.

I spent much of yesterday sorting through piles of paper - some of it in the form of comics, some not. This was a partial success. I did not find the things I was looking for (the comics we plan to consider at the next meeting of the Reading Group, the notepad for making shopping lists) but I did find several other things, and have almmost cleared a path across the floor of my study.

One of the things I founf was a card sent to me by a friend, an image titled 'Agapanthus' by Janine Partington - which enabled me to track down the artist, and more of her work. My card belongs in this series of enamels on copper: it's similar to the one labelled C44, but not identical. The thumbnail images don't convey the richness of the copper, it's worth clicking to bring up the larger image.

In fact, the card not only uses metallic foil for the copper, it has a border and highlights in a shade of blue-grey - pewter, perhaps? If I'd heard it described, I'd have thought this was a bad idea, that one metallic finish is one too many, and two is just silly. I'd have been wrong.

So that was interesting.
