As an adult, she depicted them in paint and stitch on a veriety of surfaces. This jarrah fire screen was painted as a wedding gift for my parents. Here is a detail. Vi also embroidered table linen. This spider orc...

Wendy Lugg - exploring history, place and identity. In a residency hosted by the Royal Western Australian Historical Society. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. This odd couple occupy a corner of the costume storage room at Stirling House. There they stand, patiently waiting, until they are deemed the best fit for a garment about to be put on display in the Society's museum. Here is a highly magnified detail of the tiny stitches used to support the damaged areas of the dress on a fabric carefully dyed to match....

Wendy Lugg - exploring history, place and identity. In a residency hosted by the Royal Western Australian Historical Society. Saturday, April 25, 2009. I start this post with a mystery object, a detail of a 'gift' to my grandfather, Harry Sinclair, whose embroideries. I've written about previously. The object's identity will become clear as you read. I don't know what the tin originally contained, but it was accompanied by this card. Princess Mary's tin now belongs to my mother, and today we looked once ...

Wendy Lugg - exploring history, place and identity. In a residency hosted by the Royal Western Australian Historical Society. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. It's a long time since I last posted.

Wendy Lugg - exploring history, place and identity. In a residency hosted by the Royal Western Australian Historical Society. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. My father was born in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields in 1915, in the town of of Ora Banda where his father was postmaster. Eileen also gave me tangible memories to bring home in the form of precious gifts. She was even more flabergasted when I declared my desire to take home her other gift, which I think she had brought along only to tease me.
