'Beige by Mark Fiddes' in black text on white with a small Friday Poem blob like a small sun.
A yellow squiggle on a greyish background. Well I suppose, given the subject matter, it could be a mathematical symbol. But if you just think squiggle you'll probably be closer.
Quellenstraße, 1100
Textured image in charcoal and grey. It's probably tea.
abstract image of a blurred blue head on a blue background with yellow red and green leaf like paint splurges running down the left hand side
Bright purple background with a light coloured wavy line in a loose arch
A book cover showing what looks like two purple tinted, torn paper images of a woman's face . One shows two eyes and a bit of nose, the other shows one eye , half a nose and a mouth.
Three cover images. The first shows some red fruits on branches, the second shows a prism or beaker with blue shapes inside and the third is a turquoise and blue wavy pattern.
A pencil sketch, grey on a cream background. Looks like the branches of a tree.
The Friday Poem 'Flying the Lanner' by Tony Curtis
I think it's wool. Mostly blue but with th occasional red splurge. Oh, and there are some, drops of water that look frozen.
The Dowry of Hera
