A
simple image at the top of this banner, is a visual joke. The Govan
Ferry (Fairy) paddles in the river. This is an elderly Glasgow joke
playing on the name of a ferry which plied across the river and
a pantomime character. A small embroidery, on linen, of a Mackintosh
Rose in the style of Jessie Newberry, celebrates the more traditional
interpretation of the Glasgow Style
A
crowd of Glasgow "types" queues for a bus. Many familiar
citizens are illustrated by Lex McFadyen from "Aggie"
in her apron (peenie) and slippers to "Senga" the over-
dyed blonde in the white high heels determined to have a good time.
They are bound together with a ribbon of dress labels from famous
designers both local and international. The figures are three dimensional
and are worked as overgrown stump work.
