Bottom Drawer #2

This Ceramic Wall Tile is an advertisement for Pears Soap, made by Pilkington's Tiles. 

I bought it for a couple of pounds from a little bric-a-brac stall in Eccles indoor market. The colours and condition were so perfect amongst all the jumble, I just had to buy it!

Since the late 19th Century, Pears Soap has been famous for its iconic marketing and advertising campaigns. This tile could be the staring point for a bathroom design one day...

Bottom Drawer #1

This frame contains a screen print, advertising the Lancaster and Morecambe College of Art  Foundation Show 1971. 

My best friend Kay brought it home this evening after finding it on her travels. A present for my bottom drawer, she said. The problem is the contents of our bottom drawers are exploding out of the flat!  

This print is significant as not only do I have a love for screen printing after studying it on my own Art Foundation, Morecambe is also the home town of my chap.
