Drawing Tuesday - V&A, medieval galleries

There's always too much to choose from in the medieval galleries - probably my favourite part of the V&A. I was very tempted by the goofy horses in a huge tapestry p


 and by some lively textile fragments 0
1370-1430, Italy, probably Venice

1270-1330, Italy or Spain

but it was the availability of not just a seat but a surface that settled me down in front of the roof bosses -
 The magic of the camera allows "awkward" views -
Top right is where better observation was needed...
Winged bull and winged lion
The staff in the members' room were very helpful in finding a table for seven. I have been very grumpy about the flash new members' room, and wouldn't bother using it on my own, but in company it does have redeeming features!

Going round the table -
Judith's large wood statues

Carol's St Margaret

Joyce's misericord

Jo's demons
Drawing stained glass is rather time-consuming - the colouring-in needed to be finished at home -
Janet K

Sue


 Extra-curricular activities
Carol went to the Isle of Wight

Joyce met up with Urban Sketchers

Joyce and Sue had been to a kantha workshop

Janet K made a dinosaur jumper for a family teddybear
 And from that ill-fated outing to the Natural History Museum - Carol persevered, with these results -
