5 Artists - 1 Folio/International Collaboration/Ephemera Inspiration/Unboxing Part 2

[@delejojo_59]

Hi Barbara, I enjoyed watching this very much. Thank you for sharing❤ **A thatch-eave is a natural material of roofing that hangs over the outside of a house. In the context of the poem, these "thatch-eves" have fruit-bearing vines that run along them. This would give the house with the vine-bearing thatch-eaves a sense that nature is enveloping the house...season of Autumn 😊

[@theolachapman6126]

I really like seeing what other artists have made all the different talents thank you for sharing Theola

[@myraleonard6006]

I love watching this project unfold. Such amazing talent. Thank you all for the inspiration.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Barbara, I really really enjoyed watching you unbox those amazing and awesome ephemera items, both very different but, both really really stunning and gorgeous too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@debraday5682]

It is coffin. It is one of my favorite poems. W.H.Auden had lost a beloved friend, and was mourning his loss.It’s called “Stop All the Clocks”. The Keats poem is called “To Autumn”, and thatch-eves are the words you can’t read. It’s referring to heavily fruit laden vines along the thatched roof’s edge. Joie’s taste in poetry is as wonderful as her artistic talents! Luisa has such amazing humor and freshness in her work! I can’t wait to see this folio come together!!! What a treasure it will be!💝💕🥰

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the Information, super interesting! ☺️❤️

[@judylaughlin9867]

You can see this poem recited in the movie Four Weddings and a funeral. 'Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone' Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. W H Auden

[@bettylongshore9594]

I know this is going to be one MASSIVE folio when you get through working on it!!!! Its going to be a BEAUTY also!!!!

[@sararichards518]

“Maturing sun” which means that at the end of the summer the sun is older or more mature. And thatch eves are straw roofs which run around the top of the houses. We still have thatched cottages. I’m really enjoying this little series. Great fun and everything so different! Thank you . But the poems! Poor poems! 😂😂😂

[@49dragonflies]

So sorry! 😬❤️

[@janetstubbington583]

Again, what fun and exciting items! You are right, Joie's tutorials are so calm and straightforward, they are easy to follow and so useful. I am really looking forward to seeing how you put it all together - that in itself will be a truly artistic endeavour. With baited breath ...

[@alicethomson8542]

Two more talented artist friends! You're up next! I'm enjoying seeing so many creative ideas! I see someone else has already explained "thatch" and "coffin" in the poems. I want to reread the Auden poem and look up the other one by Keats!

[@dianethompson8841]

To Autumn BY JOHN KEATS Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep, Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers: And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cyder-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours. Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,- While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft; And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

[@sabinecuppers]

[@prof.mommyarty]

Ooh I just watched Joie making those yesterday. Funny that the envelopes look so alike! Ah, I love that Keats quote for my favourite time of year. it says 'thatch eves run' in reference to thatched roofs and 'barking with a juicy bone' and yes, 'coffin ' 🙈. It's in reference to the 'death' if summer season and bringing in Autumn lol. Haven't seen Martina yet, love her whimsical ephemera! Will check her out later. I can't get enough of the glass calligraphy pen on your papers 😍 might have to buy one just to hold😄. It's going to be an amazing folio! Tfs and have a happy Halloween 🎃💀👻💖💖

Hey Barbara Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run I haven’t read your comments so you’ve probably had the poem translated already lol.. it’s a beautiful poem for sure.
