This has been floating around my room for absolutely ages now, but ive only just had the time to actually sit down and finish it. It was half coloured in, but because it had been like that for ages it just didnt seem right to colour the rest, so i got out a brush and streaked it with water. The flowers are took off google images. I’ll let you figure out the symbolism in it :) —-—-—-—-—-—-—— / Thank You For Viewing / Original By Emma Black / Do Not Use Without Permission

Beauty Of A Thorn This well-known thistle is a true nightmare to all the local farmers. At one point I think there was even a law passed saying that people could be fined if it was found growing unchecked on their property. / It is such an invasive plant that it will take over an entire pasture or field, and farm animals won’t/can’t eat it, so it’s a problem even in the hay. / On the other hand, its a true blessing for the many butterflies that migrate through this area, and it provides much-needed food and energy for the pretty creatures that have long flights ahead of them. / I have also noticed that hummingbirds love it as well. Being a photographer, I do love its exotic blooms and the many photo opportunities it provides. / The sad but true thing is, the only way to control it is to destroy it completely! It’s amazing that something so beautiful and so useful for the nectar lovers, is also such a thorn in the side for the farmers. / Photo taken along a road side in NW Arkansas, USA.

/ This image was nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward group. / The redbubble member who nominated it was Andreisky and this is why he nominated me & this image - ”because he’s doing some sort of magic which I can’t. And he also writes so many interesting things…” According to tradition the abbey was first founded in 616 on the present site, then known as Thorn Ey (Thorn Island); based on a late ‘tradition’ that a fisherman called ‘Aldrich’ on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to be quoted to justify the presents of salmon from the Thames fishermen that the Abbey received in later years. The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan, assisted by King Edgar, planted a community of Benedictine monks here. A stone Abbey was built around 1045–1050 by King Edward the Confessor as part of his palace there: it was consecrated on December 28, 1065, only a week before the Confessor’s death and subsequent funeral and burial. It was the site of the last coronation prior to the Norman Invasion, that of his successor King Harold. It was later rebuilt by Henry III from 1245, who had selected the site for his burial. The Abbey became the coronation site of Norman kings, but none were buried there until Henry III, intensely devoted to the cult of the Confessor, rebuilt the Abbey in Anglo-French Gothic style as a shrine to honour St Edward the Confessor and as a suitably regal setting for Henry’s own tomb, under the highest Gothic nave in England. The Confessor’s shrine subsequently played a great part in his canonisation. The work continued between 1245-1517 and was largely finished by the architect Henry Yevele in the reign of King Richard II. Henry VII added a Perpendicular style chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1503 (known as the Henry VII Chapel). Much of the stone came from Caen, in France (Caen stone), the Isle of Portland (Portland stone) and the Loire Valley region of France (tuffeau limestone). In 1535, the Abbey’s annual income of £2400-2800 during the assessment attendant on the Dissolution of the Monasteries rendered it second in wealth only to Glastonbury Abbey. Henry VIII had assumed direct royal control in 1539 and granted the Abbey cathedral status by charter in 1540, simultaneously issuing letters patent establishing the Diocese of Westminster. By granting the Abbey cathedral status Henry VIII gained an excuse to spare it from the destruction or dissolution which he inflicted on most English abbeys during this period. Westminster was a cathedral only until 1550. The expression “robbing Peter to pay Paul” may arise from this period when money meant for the Abbey, which was dedicated to St Peter, was diverted to the treasury of St Paul’s Cathedral. The Abbey was restored to the Benedictines under the Catholic Queen Mary, but they were again ejected under Queen Elizabeth I in 1559. In 1579, Elizabeth re-established Westminster as a “Royal Peculiar”—a church responsible directly to the sovereign, rather than to a diocesan bishop—and made it the Collegiate Church of St Peter, (that is a church with an attached chapter of canons, headed by a dean). The last Abbot was made the first Dean. It suffered damage during the turbulent 1640s, when it was attacked by Puritan iconoclasts, but was again protected by its close ties to the state during the Commonwealth period. Oliver Cromwell was given an elaborate funeral there in 1658, only to be disinterred in January 1661 and posthumously hanged from a nearby gibbet. The abbey’s two western towers were built between 1722 and 1745 by Nicholas Hawksmoor, constructed from Portland stone to an early example of a Gothic Revival design. Further rebuilding and restoration occurred in the 19th century under Sir George Gilbert Scott. A narthex for the west front was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 20th century but was not executed. Until the 19th century, Westminster was the third seat of learning in England, after Oxford and Cambridge. It was here that the first third of the King James Bible Old Testament and the last half of the New Testament were translated. The New English Bible was also put together here in the 20th century. Westminster suffered minor damage during the Blitz on November 15, 1940.

Grand Ma passed away six months ago it seems like yesterday. / She wanted to live to be one hundred she was just a year away. / I loved to visit with Grand Ma to me she seemed so young. / She had away about her that made time drift away. / She told me silly stories about when she was real young and men wore hats and courted her from a long long time past. / She talked about what it was like to be young way back then. / When simple things like a summers swim or riding on a bike would make conversation last long in to the night. / And an auto was a rich mans toy that really brought strange smiles. / She told me all the stories about how they use to dance. / And put on all their fancy things to maybe find romance and a man would come and take a bow an asked her for a dance ! / The hand was all that ever touched but that was strong enough! / And then when the Charlston came to town the people went real wild! / She talked about the first war and what it did to everyone, hiding in the basement crying as bombs fell all around! / She said that was a living hell! / And then she talked about the second one and running from the Russians in to the arms of the USA that was for her a blessing! / But of both she was afraid! / She liked it back in the days when men wore hat’s and dressed real nice not like these kids today! / She looked at me and said poor thing these times are really crazy!! / You’ll never understand the life we lived back not too long ago. / How reading by a fire made a spooky story oh so frighting! Not like sitting at the TV as your brain cells fall to sleep! / She talked about all the things she did with her three dead sisters. / And the one thing she loved the most was planting roses. / She talked about the fun she had and the laughter they all shared in the German Black Forest planting all types of roses. / She told me that the rose to her was the strongest of the flowers! / Because it learned over many long years how to protect its beauty! / She said a thorn was there to keep a man fingers from the attack! / And that the Rose to her was every woman’s sweet young heart usually broken by a man! / She said until a man took extra care to gently take the rose, he would be forever bitten by that neckless that she wore! / Grand Ma’s house was full of roses and that was her special bloom! / Not one time did I come by was a rose not in full view! / So there I was in my Kitchen looking at this rose today, and then it looked right back at me oh God I said no way! / It scared me half to death! / And right then and there I knew exactly who was looking straight at me!

This is a VERY old drawing of mine done about my grandmother Rose back when I was still in my BIG EYES phase. (Although in fairness, Rose had very big brown eyes herself – quite lovely.) So I exaggerate! After I had this framed, she was over one day and actually made the trip up my stairs into my studio to see this a few years before she died. She never knew what to make of my work so it was especially interesting to see her reaction to this. C: “Grandma, I drew this about you and your sisters.” R: “Hmm…I don’t understand it.” C: “Well, you, of course, are at the center and your sisters are each of the roses around you. Because you have such different relationships with each, I tried to represent that. Anna, (who is deaf), is at the top left in the closed rose. The sisters that you fight with have a few extra thorns on them. Josephine is the fully opened one because you get along best with her. And YOU – well, you – have great mystery so that’s all I can show are your eyes and the darkness.” R: “Cynthi, (long pause) show this to your aunties.” I laughed to myself silently. And that was that. (I guess she liked it.) / I knew Rose would leave us with many untold stories and confessions, (and I was right). You can see the original framed on the far left in this shot: / In my Clothing section: /
