Art and Artists 1

Delighted to find that Rob Ryan now has a shop at Columbia Road - the wonderfully named RyanTown. Master of paper craft, his pieces are so delicate, whimsical and funny.

Also, splashed out on a Charley Harper lithograph called 'Upside Downside' at Sharon Elphick gallery : two birds on a branch in the minimal realist style, just simple blocks of colour and stylised lines. Bold and charming. On YouTube, Handmade Modern interview Charley Harper, sadly now deceased.

Flowers and cakes and art

Sunday morning at Columbia Road market in East London is one of my favourite weekend jaunts ... flowers and cakes and art, what more could a girl want?
