Doorways and Rolling Stamps 53-55


This is to take part in the Three Muses challenge which this week is 'Doorways'.
I photographed this wonderful doorway at Belsay Hall, Northumberland way back in 2003 and it was an entrance to a room full to bursting of linen.  The nurse wasn't there. Some more photos of the room and another doorway into it shown below.


More rolling stamps - the first & third are made from fun foam, the second from wallpaper

TAST week 13 and Belsay Hall

TAST week 13 - Raised Cup Stitch
I like this stitch but I think mine maybe cup stitch rather than raised cup stitch, I found it difficult to pass my needle through the spaces on the second round, so I stitched through the loops of the first {I think I did, although it was hard to tell exactly what the needle was going through!}

Today I went to Belsay Hall with a couple of friends to see the Extraordinary Measures Art Exhibition.
Don't these feet look real?
They are part of a giant sculpture by Ron Mueck. There were small sculptures too and other artists work.
Also at Belsay are some wonderful gardens and we saw a few unusual trees.

Can you see an animal, a deer perhaps with horns?
Can you see an elephant in the photo below?

And a hand and arm here?
