It's absolutely gorgeous. There has got to be a way for you to show that art so everyone can admire it. I'm glad I could see it.

It cuts it into 1 square yard rolls 1ft x9ft, there is a pallet at the back of the machine and someone stood on the back to stack the rolls.<br />I used to collect turf from Pocklington and take it to golf clubs where it was usually handballed off. Golf course building was all the rage in the 1980's so we were quite busy with it.<br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-23159370822325031142014-08-17T11:25:43.270+01:002014-08-17T11:25:43.270+01:00I enjoyed the journey!

Just a thought. But do be aware that artists sell very very few of their works! fun when it happens, though. The great advantage of textile art is that it's easy to ship because it's not breakable, always a consideration.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-72880788296489062272014-08-16T23:41:53.014+01:002014-08-16T23:41:53.014+01:00Ilona ur picture is very beautiful as is your desc...Ilona ur picture is very beautiful as is your description of it, what a creative lady you are.<br />AussieCheryl : )<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-83194264783721462482014-08-16T23:07:52.848+01:002014-08-16T23:07:52.848+01:00Thanks for showing the machinery!

It turned out to be a Nevada desert mystery. The rarely seen town of Darwin whos residents deserted it in the 60s. Leaving cars in the street milk in the fridge and clothes in the closets. Its in the middle of the desert 96% heat. Nobody knows why the people left and they all left at once. Its like a time capsule. Unsettling all the mechanicle clocks stopped at 4.20! A US military truck is there with a bullet hole through the windscreen. The exhibition is on for six weeks in Newcastle I cant wait to take a look.
