| Date: | Apr 2024 |
| Original Size: | 90x110 cm |
| Notes: | Playmat revised as a wall hanging. Based on the AA Milne poem "Jonathan Jo" which my mother used to quote to my son. ...If you ask for a bat, or something like that, he's got it whatever the size is. If you're wanting a ball, it's no trouble at all, why the more that you ask for the merrier. Like a hoop and a top, and a watch that won't stop, and some sweets and an Aberdeen terrier.... The dog has a squeaker, the hoop is glow-in-the-dark, sweets are in a bag with “crackle” fabric. There are tools on a “key ring” – a hammer with a rattle in it, a spanner with a squeaker when it’s moved, and a dodecahedral fabric ball. The wheel is attached with a button through the middle, and stiffened with sparkly plastic, so it can be turned. Originally the wheelbarrow was mounted on a playmat - it's been removed and mounted on a wall hanging, with the poem written on it in free machine embroidery |
