Elemental Powers


Our friend, Louise Mabbs, a brilliant Christian fabric artist (http://www.louisemabbs.co.uk/) living on the south coast of England, has recently completed a piece to celebrated 'Air, Earth, Fire and Water' and the 10 years of our life and ministries in Sheffield. She calls it 'Elemental powers' and it includes inspiration from Sheffield like Forgemasters Engineering, where Bob was Chaplain, the Sheffield Peace Gardens and the face of a steel worker the brick version of which is near the Co-op in Sheffield city centre. The top and bottom panels depict the walk from Lands End to John O'Groats that Bob made in 2003 which was called End to End via the margins, the diary of which is still on line at www.bobjanet.demon.co.uk/lejog
It includes the Angel of the North (bottom left hand corner) and the Caledonian Canal amongst other images. The photograph is by Janine Boyer of Brighton.
