#Fowc #Design
Desired ideas from the craftsmens heads
extruded onto paper
some say its an artwork in itself as
individual pieces of a building, product or vehicle
get shown on paper
noting their structures and little quirks

#fowc #Crazy
Colourful trail leading up the garden path
rocky slabs laid at really strange angles
at first, you might think – some mad
zany designer had taken a hammer to your pavement, but
you would be wrong – each
piece has been placed on purpose
as you look carefully – each bit of stone comes into
view as part of the picture as a whole
in time you’ll spot a scene as the pieces come together
navigating their way down the garden, and
greeting visitors – welcome to our house!

Salford 5th January 2017
This afternoon, I’ve been helping out at Imperial War Museum North just over the bridge from Salford, by the banks of the Manchester ship canal.
Regular readers will know I help out with the computers on the “Your History” information point and throughout the Main exhibition space. Well, Today I’ve been directing visitors by the special gallery and giving assistance where necessary.
The special gallery covers the time in British history where clothes were rationed, in order to preserve fuel and resources during war time.
As part of the exhibition – a special handling collection has been created, by some of the volunteers with help from the museum staff. This is shown on our Information station, where volunteers and veterans talk about specific objects and the tales behind them.
2nd January 2017
It’s that place away from the winter weather,
never understated – because it’s yours
tables and chairs in the kitchen-cum-diner, settee and TV in the lounge
each room containing its own mark made by you
rugs with interesting patterns laid on hard wood floors
intrinsic patterns that took an age to fit
on the whole – its the way you thought it out, a
really nice, warm and inviting home.

Telling tales of conflict to all
Holding time in its heart like a baby
Our precious planet has been broken by war
As earth air and water are captured in aluminium
On the dockside it rises from the ground
This mighty metal building has a tale to tell
Small in scale, but a giant on the banks of the water
Broken in pieces by a man with a message
It began with a humble teapot
