Rarely idle & often working simultaneously in several media, Gertrude Hermes–died 1983–combed shingle beaches for soft chalky pebbles that might yield to the blade of her penknife, & became part of a set of “social arcadians intent upon unfettered freedom”.

♥️ 🧡💛WALLPAPER 💚💙💜

We absolutely love these 1930s wallpaper designs by Edward Bawden. He would first cut the design into lino with his penknife, apply oil paint and then print onto the paper by standing on the lino.

I bought a penknife that couldnt write
A battery that shone but had no light
A sound wave no one could hear
A TV aerial no one knew what it was 4
A fearless teddy that wasnt brave
The only thing I counted on 4 me
Was a nice hot cup of Mad Hatter Tea
