Another Brick in the wall ..

My latest challenge is a commission to make a collage based on East Mill in Belper, built  in red brick in 1912 by the  English  Sewing Machine Company.
Research has been needed as I had not previously heard about this mill.  This is what I love about my "job" if you can call it that, as an artist! I'm learning all the time .. and the latest fact is regarding brickwork! This mill is made of  Accrington red bricks,  in the English garden wall pattern - three rows of stretchers and one row of headers! And look what turned up in the box yesterday ..
Stamps from The Netherlands, Belgium and Poland .. 


.. well, it's a start!
