SHOW ME THE MONET - ALISON HOLT

A big surprise this morning whilst stuffing my porridge.  Up popped Alison Holt  the outstanding Machine embroiderer
On Show me the Monet on BBC2

 I shouted I know her! to my bemused husband, I bet she does not get though, they never take a textile artist
These are the shortsighted 'judges'
When will they ever learn?
 
Alison was so professional & resigned to not being chosen, I was livid!
Check it out on IPlayer
Alison's work is truly inspirational, these are all done with THREAD alone
Such an uphill battle for any textile artist to get recognition in the art world

  1. What a supercillious (sp) bunch those judges are! I thought she stood up well to them though. :-)

  2. Wow, that's interesting, I will check out the programme on i-player. I have got a library book about her on the go at the moment, and her work is fabulous!
