@katespatch Think it’s the caterpillar of the Vapourer or Rusty Tussock Moth - I found one in my garden recently too.

I love the fact that the lead white (?) used to highlight has deteriorated over the years so Athelstan and Cuthbert look like they’ve been on the tanning lotion!!

Great to see the exhibition outside Notre Dame, Paris, celebrating all the skilled craftsmen and specialists who have contributed to its restoration. #Paris

[Fiona Mann @BrookesRed]

Notre Dame is making great progress - very moving to see it finally re-emerge from the ashes.

That Lady Macbeth dress at the Sargent and Fashion exhibition @Tate!! - covered in iridescent green beetle wing cases on a knitted type of chainmail. Fabulous to see it beside the painting.

@AlisonMoyet Just got my ticket for the Hexagon in Reading! Can’t wait!! 😊

[Burlington Magazine @BurlingtonMag]

A range of works from the Middle Ages and Renaissance are the subject of shows at the @museecluny and @laBnF. They demonstrate how art could serve as both a weighty symbol of dynastic authority and as an intimate aid to private study and devotion.

Having fun today experimenting with gold on ceramics - first using gold pen then applying kintsugi methods (lacquer + bronze powder here).
