Here is Prince Harry without an eye. Have a good Monday, and thanks again for not alerting the authorities x (Radio Times, 2016. Photographer not credited but I'm trying to find out). #alisonsye851 #artfromlondonbins #PrinceHarry #32Eyes

If you fancy a game of Eye Spy (as suggested by @sevenpmstitches ) I've done a quick sketch. Hope I've remembered them correctly, as I haven't finished researching yet. They all came from magazines and newspapers left on the train. There are a few clues in the previous post. #alisonsye851 #32eyes #artfromlondonbins #EyeSpy #Eyes #puzzle #puzzleart #guesstheeye #guesstheeyes

Last post sounded like I was calling @biggreenbooks crappy, which it most certainly isn't, so I deleted it. The power. It was the alternative to BBC Breakfast which is crappy. Watched for a few minutes this morning, as Simon from #biggreenbookshop was on. Won't be tuning in to Piers Morgan again any time soon. Muggle. Happy Monday #outofplace #AlisonSye840 #follsywip #artfromconkedoutstuff #artfromlondonbins #artfromthegutter

Morning. Pelé's eye. Footballer, but he can also play the guitar and sing. In other news, Dame Judy has started rapping. Taken from Sport Magazine (Sept 25, 2015) which I found on a train. The blue paper came from a posh catalogue in the bin at work.

Got my Basquiat With Regency Crown notes together. If you scroll through you can see where he came from. Jean-Michel was cut from a #barbican leaflet (photo by #nicholastaylor and #deadhumandesign), he is dancing at the #muddclub in 1979. The crown is cut from a photograph of the curtains of the Regency Cafe. A very popular location for filming in London. Don’t even think about sitting down before your food is ordered. The photographer is #davidstewart The photo was on a leaflet for the #nationaltheatre advertising a new play called Saint George And The Dragon by Rory Mullarkey. The actor in the image is #JohnHefferman The lined paper is from an old ledger made by Moore’s Modern Methods, Farringdon St. EC4. Established 1908. The thread was my nana’s. Think I’ve covered everything. #jeanmichelbasquiat #boomforreal #basquiat #saintgeorgeandthedragon #rorymullarkey #regencycafe #mooresmodernmethods #artfromconkedoutstuff #BasquiatWithRegencyCrown #alisonsye854 #artfromlondonbins

Pearl Mackie's eye. Photographed by #andyparsons who is a lovely bloke. I know this because he not only responded to my email (most people don't), but he did it in a non-rushed way. Anyway, I wrongly assumed that this Andy Parsons is the same Andy Parsons who took the previous eye (Ian Richards), what with both of them having the same name, same job, and the eyes both coming from the same publication (Time Out London). But they are not. Never assume, Sherlock. Also, been meaning to say, this eye piece is 9cms x 9cms, which I know it doesn't look. Scroll to see whole thing. Have a good day... #alisonsye852 #pearlmackie #andyparsons #timeoutlondon #32eyes #artfromlondonbins #artfromconkedoutstuff

Some royal legs, just the same as regular ones. Photographer currently unknown. The Anti-Slavery Commissioner has just been on the news. How the hell can that be a job title in 2017? Morning, by the way... #thequeenslegs #contemporaryembroidery #alisonsye852 #antislaverycommissioner #artfromlondonbins #artfromconkedoutstuff #artfromrubbish

Morning All. This is the eye of Ian Richards, a homelessness charity worker. The average age of death of a homeless person is 47, 30 years younger than the national average. I took the eye from #timeoutlondon which I found on the train. The blue paper came from a posh catalogue from my work's bin. Still using up Nan's threads. The photographer is #AndyParsons Looking forward to listening to Louise Raw on the radio later. Saving my toilet cleaning for when she's on. #louiseraw #ianrichards #crisis #artfromlondonbins #william&son #32Eyes #artfromthestreets #artfromconkedoutstuff #contemporaryembroidery #AlisonSye851 #londonart

I've called it 32 Eyes. Does what it says on the tin. You will know most of them. Eye introductions coming up when I get my act together. The blue paper came from 'a luxury compendium' I fished from the bin at work. Lovely paper, but basically a catalogue of expensive stuff. Have a good Sunday :) #AlisonSye851 #32Eyes #artfromlondonbins #eyes

Morning All. Stuff that happened in May 2014: Episode 2, The One With Bez... #folksyseller #alisonsye551 #sewndiary #artfromlondonbins #artistsofinstagram #bez #hejustmutteredit #RIPJohnWestergaad #classinacapitalistsociety #RIPBobHoskins #julianschnabel

A section of my sewn diary from June 2014, although I didn't finish it until a few months later. The SW19 is a nod to the tennis, the assassin's reunion is because Mr S had reunited with his school band, don't mention midlife crisis, Sinatra is there because a couple had murdered their parents and spent their money on Sinatra memorabilia. Long sentence. The little head belongs to an unnamed fusilier from WW1 (200 years anniversary, if anniversary is the right word). PS. The two new pieces are now in my shop, link in profile #AlisonSye522 #sewndiary #june2014 #sinatra #WW1 #royalirishfusilier #SW19 #artfromlondonbins #artfromconkedoutstuff #theassassins #therec #folksysellers
