I spent the day with Lucy Haworth‘s depicton of Marlow Moss’ life and work - and it‘s so powerful and inspiring. A wonderful small book by @eiderdownbooks.bsky.social about a great artist!

Thanks for sending it to me, @spiral-tat.bsky.social & @miketyl.bsky.social!

The most beautiful long walk this morning, swiftly followed by a visual migraine 🙄 Now battling with how to make a gift card on our website. Do people still buy gift cards for books at Christmas?
