A look at Hull.

 Well howdy folks. Today I went to Hull Pride, on the bus. No, I tell a lie. I went to Hull alright, but I didn't know Pride was on till I got there. The plan was to go to a Craft Fair at Hull Minster. The advert  kept popping up on my screen and I thought, must go to that. 

So when I got off the bus at Paragon Station the place was awash with rainbow flags and people dressed in crazy fashions. It was very busy. The sun brought everybody out. Plenty of stalls to browse, lots of eating and drinking outside on the pavement, loud music blasting out. 




I went in Ferens Art Gallery to view the Open Exhibition. Took a few photos. A woolly wall hanging. 
A patchwork woolly jumper. Small pieces of knitting, stitched together in a random fashion. 


Lovely intricate embroidery. 

A country scene. Needle felting. A very lifelike hare. 

On my way to the Minster I had a look around Hepworth's Arcade.


Then I went to the Marina to see the boats. 

The Deep is a popular tourist attraction for those who like to explore marine life. 

I don't know who the person on the plinth is. Perhaps gooooglie The Deep. 

After fighting my way through the crowds, I did get to the Minster and the Craft Fair. I will put the photo's on the next post. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

    1. Hi flis. Yes it is an amazingly clever technique to make something so simple as wool, into something artistically beautiful.
