'Silbury Hill' textile art

Silbury Hill, originally uploaded by Margaret M Roberts.

A new textile art piece finished this week and delivered to Bluestone Gallery. Probably the last textile piece I'll do for a while since I'm enjoying exploring methods of painting and mixed media.

In the studio... the Silbury Hill textile on the pinboard for final finishing off.


Just finished staining the frame to match the blue of the Hill.


Framed and ready for the gallery.

A sale on RedBubble

A big thank you to the unknown person who bought a framed print of Woodborough Hill from my RedBubble gallery. Making my work more available through print-on-demand websites such as RedBubble and ImageKind is exciting. Note to self: put more work up for sale as prints and greetings cards!

Crop circles

Spent today out on the downs with camera and sketchbook. Walked to Knap Hill, one of my favourite places in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire.


Crop circle photographed on 11th July 2007 from the top of Knap Hill looking towards Woodborough Hill.


Helicopter will have the best view of the formation. Can just see a line of people walking along the tractor tracks to the circle.


Panorama and cloud shadows.

Top of Knap Hill rises behind me.


Can just see the top of Adam's Grave long barrow on Walkers Hill.


Carpet of chalk-downland flowers. Lots of Marbled White butterflies but not resting long enough to photograph - too windy.


Flowers over the whole hill top - beautiful.


Sketchbook, water soluable pencils and inspiring landscape.


Looking south-west towards Wilcot I can see a second crop circle tucked into the corner of a field.


Circles in the land... fascinating.
