| This was an interesting project. One Christmas the Doctors and nurses put on their version of "A Christmas Carol" for the bed-bound patients in one of the hospital wards. They sewed three bed sheets together and we hung this cloth on a wire stretched across the ward, then weighed it down with heavy fence posts nailed along the bottom. I sealed it with a mixture of PVA glue, water and emulsion paint and when it had dried overnight it made a wonderful taught cloth on which to paint. | ||

| Poor quality photo as the light was insufficient. That's a real wooden fireplace-surround borrowed for the occasion. Everything you see was painted on the cloth (apart from fireplace) | ||
