This X post is somewhat self-explanatory. None of the commenters disagreed with the author. https://twitter.com/thekentacorn/status/1952056077102743884?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Notice the 970 likes. Fifteen comments. All favorable. Am I the only one who thinks that this statement is just plain wrong? The author is human too, and runs a project preserving oak woodlands in Britain. I follow him. If …

May I introduce gifted artist Gemma Matthews from England

On By rushbabe49In art, business, Culture, History, literature, Nature, Random Musings About Life, social media2 Comments

Her medium is embroidery, but with an added enhancement. All of her work is done entirely freehand, from her own designs, with NO pattern. None. Take a look at some of her work, and tell me that she is an exceptional artist and designer. https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1946493837263724725?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1943241387815637055?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Breathtaking! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1938901834745168224?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Mind-blowing! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1936144529330938180?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1934953513366569397?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Joyful relaxation https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1933533528987480153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Lovely …
