We had lots of questions today and were very busy showing visitors how to make roses. One of them, Natalia, was very surprised to learn that all the roses on the wall had been made by visitors to the exhibition and that we’d started with an empty wall.
Victoria and Olga are from Krasnodar, which is much further south than St Petersburg. Olga has spent some time in London as an art student. We had an interesting chat about the exhibition, especially the video works.
This drawing was made by a very shy, blonde girl who was only five and a half years old. She made a beautiful rose and concentrated very hard to make this drawing. We showed her drawings by some of the children in Shetland who were her age and she liked them very much.
Lyudmila , who lives in the Ukraine, offered to send Susan a photo of her washing line. Needless to say Susan was delighted!
Communal Washing!
This funny set of pegs has attracted much attention. Susan found it on e-Bay. The person who was selling it commented, “My wife bought these in the 1960’s and I don’t know why.”
