Watching a recording of the Royal Variety Show, and Madness came on. I'm reminded of years ago when I was working on #LoadingTheFelucca, talking of the baggy trousers of one of the workers. @rosamundi promptly sent me a video of them, saying “I've been earwormed, why should you escape?! “
#DreamsOfAmarna

The more I worked on the #DreamsOfAmarna, the more those dreams changed.. Rather than gold and glamour, I found myself drawn to the less showy finds, stone and faience, and to the people responsible for making them, or responsible for excavating them, the archaeologists, the Guftis, the local labourers and the basket children. #LoadingTheFelucca was one of the pieces made in their honour.

This time, #LoadingTheFelucca against copper or brown. I'm not convinced by either of these...

Thoughts, anyone?

I am planning to mount "Loading The Felucca" on a fabric covered frame, like everything else, but I have to decide what colour. The ones I've used so far have been these two, plus Nefertiti's cloth of gold, which is clearly unsuitable because the colours wouldn't work against it.

So, does anyone have a suggestion? Dark blue or burgundy? Or something else entirely...?
