BLOOMSBURY GROUP AND OTHER INSPIRATIONS

I have been busy on my dragon cloth.

 If you look close you will see something up in the sky.

I like adding a surprise or something unexpected,

 to expand the imagination, to throw one of guard and to look closer.

What is really inspiring me today is this new book Bloomsbury Needlepoint book

 that my friend Ancient Cloth sent me.

A lovely book that describes a group of artist inspiring each other and the world at large.

 

The Bloomsbury Group — or Bloomsbury Set — was an enormously influential group of associated English writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists^[1], the best known members of which included Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster and Lytton Strachey. This loose collective of friends and relatives lived, worked or studied together near Bloomsbury, London, during the first half of the 20th century. According to Ian Ousby, "although its members denied being a group in any formal sense, they were united by an abiding belief in the importance of the arts".^[2] Their works and outlook deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics as well as modern attitudes towards feminism, pacifism, and sexuality.^[3]
