The embroidery produced by Otomi (Hñähñu) women of Mexico is known as Tenango Embroidery. Created with an "Otomi Stitch", the colourful designs of animals, plants & rural life represent the stories & beliefs of the people who produce this specific form of embroidered expression #EmbroideryWeek #Womensart

[C20 Society @C20Society]

NEWS: C20 has supported an application by grassroots campaigners to list the former Central YMCA building on Great Russell Street, London – the site of the world’s first YMCA.

Designed by Michael Mulchinet of the Elsworth Sykes Partnership and built between 1971-77, the brutalist Bloomsbury landmark is a colossal and multi-layered  example of a post-war megastructure.

More from cartoonist/illustrator Tom Gauld ~ here, he devises an obviously better way for us to organise our bookshelves. To which I’d add another category for “books I think I borrowed from someone but can’t remember who” https://t.co/STeciCsTny

[Dr Isabella Rosner @IsabellaRosner]

Big fan of this hanging (in the @V_and_A) embroidered by nuns in Heiningen, Germany in 1516. It’s a great example of a nun’s theological and classical education on the eve of the Reformation. The name of the prioress ‘D[omi]na Elisabet’ and 58 nuns are embroidered on the piece

Artist’s sketch of a sparrow. From Deir el-Bahri, Egypt, c. 1479–1458 BC.

Artists have always loved to sketch. In ancient Egypt, some 3,500 years ago, they used flakes of limestone as sketch pads rather than paper.
