Appreciation.

o0o indeed its art Phill and can see why your made your reference to the
texture of mine ;-) ah ... mine is a scarfe and so ... me thinks there is another
use for it now ... ;-))) thanks for the idea ... hehehe and will, like you, keep
my blouse on ;-) oOo

Can't wait to see the result Bev! ;-)

hahahaha

A lovely image of a fine artwork. I'm sure a beer will fix my hiccups. :) Mmm . . . I like it !

Cheers George. Have two, just to make sure!

Nothing offensive about this mate...............it's stunning! Do you have a link where I can see more of his work..........I'm intrigued now? Didn't get much joy on Google.

Thanks Keith, for your reassurance. I'm thinking I screwed up with the name...it might be Paul Topin...I have to get into the loft and find the box it came in. All I know is the paper that came with it said he originally trained as an architect, and moved into art, producing various gauzes along these lines, besides whatever else. The gallery from whence it came had quite a few pieces by him, this being my (not really affordable) favourite. I don't have a link for either, having no luck on Google myself. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do.

No problem mate.............I did wonder if you had the name right, there are quite a few Paul Tobins around but none that seem to fit the bill. Gauze seems a pretty unusual medium to work in. Don't bust a gut looking on my account though :)

Hi Keith. I put my deer-stalker on and lit the pipe and found it was PAUL TOPEN. (My loft hatch is smaller than it used to be, for some weird reason.) Look up shadowsculpture.com and you'll find his work there. Happy viewing!

Thanks for taking the trouble Sherlock! I've just bookmarked his site for a leisurely browse when I am more awake.........(on early shifts at the mo)!

It is a beautiful piece, Phill....worth the outlay.....
It is sensitive and skilled. It did not give me the hiccups...more a sense of envy and sadness for what the passing of time has done to my once not too bad bod!
I am a shirt on woman these days...
Have a good Sunday xxx

Thanks, Di, and lol. I know what you mean! All the best for the week ahead. xx

This is beautiful, Phill. Not at all offensive. And very original artwork too.
Me?? It made me realise I have very fat skin!!

Thanks Dave. I fear we're in the same boat!

Great shot.
