33 colourful Robins arrived on Nottingham's streets yesterday and are here to the end of September. A little about each one is on the plinth and I have included it here
From left to right.
Tigguo Cobauc - Artist Lissie
Tigguo Cobauc is an ancient name fot Nottingham and translated as ‘the place of caves.’ This design reveals the enchanted stories of Nottingham’s past, Robin Hood, secret caves and passageways, the Major Oak and Sherwood Forest. The sandstone rock and and the thickness of the surrounding forests of Nottingham help to create the overall colour and texture.
Robin Hood - Artist: Jodie Silverman
The Design for this sculpture was influenced by the classic depiction of Robin Hood but as a real life robin artist Jodie Silverman strived to make the robin as realistic as possible and enjoyed painting the details of his wings, his sparkly eyes and his feathery chest
The Green Heart of the City - Book Benches
Hoodwinked has inspired Nottingham Schools to decorate unique Book Benches which are displayed in various locations around the city and in the community as part of the trail. The Book Benches are on display for the 12 weeks of the trail and will be returned to the schools to keep as a legacy of Hoodwinked
Bobbin - Artist Jemima Cholmondeley-Smith
Bobbin celebrates the historic significance of Nottingham’s Lace Market, contrasting the bold industrial architecture with the delicate detail of the lace
I’m just doing a bit of catching up Margaret after my holiday and it occurred to me that I hadn’t seen any of your photos for ages. I got a bit worried about you, wondering what had happened so I ‘looked into it’. I discovered that I was no longer following you! I don’t know how or when I accidentally ‘unfollowed ‘ you but I am sorry. I enjoy your pics. Everything should now be back to normal 🙂
