My work on eBay in time for St Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 9, 2012 | 2 comments

Isn’t it strange how sometimes a passage leaps off the page and really makes you think? Rumi has long been an inspiration for me, though I can’t say that I totally live up to his Ideals. This piece speaks out, I believe, to everyone who has ever been in love, so feel free to copy one of these and send it to your special someone. If you would like an original take your pick of three I have listed.

This link will take you to my eBay page where you will find all three versions.

UNSOLD. Still available though. at Calligraphy by Bill Grant

Keep watching this space.

A new departure for 2012. My work on eBay.

With my drawers and cupboards overflowing with work such as this, and the larder looking more and more like that of Mother Hubbard, this step seems the obvious way to redress the balance. Aaah!

As an experiment, from time to time I shall be posting the odd piece on eBay.

This very topical piece was made in November last, in response to The Press coverage of the “Occupy” Movement.

When will the time come when honest and clear seeing men will grow sick of all this chaos of waste, this robbing of Peter to pay Paul, which is the essence of Commercial war?
When shall we band together to replace the system whose motto is ” The devil take the hindmost ” with a system whose motto shall be really and without qualification
” One for all and all for one “?
Who knows but the time may be at hand, but that we now living may see the beginning of that end which shall extinguish luxury and poverty? When the upper, middle and lower classes shall have melted into one class, living contentedly a simple and happy life.

Wm. Morris.

It is rapidly written with Prout’s Brown Ink on hand- made paper and measures 15″ x 11″ – 38cm x 28cm, and is now available on eBay.

Have a look and if you have any suggestions as to any other pieces you might like to see listed, please let me know via the comments box.

Many thanks.
